New WHYTE CARBON vs. Predator Revo Carbon Fiber Shaft ... "Ebony and Ivory"

[RickLafayette]

It's probably not you actually. Lol. I messaged him on FB Messenger. He told me he offers it and sent me some pics that I'm including here.

Wow. I am in on that one. I have Bob Runde making me a kielwood shaft for my Schon shooter. As soon as I get that one I'm going to order this one.

Their site has no contact number or email. Too many questions before I pull the trigger on one.

What has been the turn-around time from ordering to delivery? Nothing on the website and yet to receive an email answer.

Michael Bennett / John Bertone, you can respond on this site and get a larger viewing / exposure, than you will on FB. There are a lot of us interested in your products.

Turn-around time from ordering?
What kind of finish / coating do the white and wheat colored shafts have?

I am sure a Sneaky Peat CF cue that looks like a wooden 1-piece will be out soon.

There are wood grain painted CF shaft blanks out there, just don't know anything about the quality and finish. https://www.carbonfibercue.com/product/12-6-wood-carbon-fiber-cue-blanks/

It’s only a matter of time until someone comes up with a cream color carbon fiber shaft.
By experimenting with the color darkness, it might start to resemble a maple wood shaft.

Imagine that, a stealth like combination that looks like orig. maple shaft but is actually CF.
Yup, it’s only a question of when and I suspect before 2023 rolls over this may come true.

I can't wait for this to happen! I love CF shafts, but something about that black color that just keeps me from aiming as accurately as I do with a good ol' wood shaft.

My interest is a little more vain. I just don't like the color black when matched up with my beautiful playing cues. I've played CF shafts extensively since they first came out and like the way they play. I just could never get used to the black. That's why I transitioned to the kiel wood shaft. I'm going to put that through the ringer until I can get more information on the Whyte wheat colored shaft.

Now if they'll just make a CF shaft that looks like......wood .

Maybe a beige colorization.

I thought they have been had wood colored carbon shafts,
My buddy said he had one yrs ago, I didn't investigate or remember what brand

Yep, I 100% get this, too.

For anyone who uses this shaft (reviews are basically nonexistent), how does the coating hold up over time? I am interested in getting one for one of my new custom cues, but don't want to end up with a coating that gets sticky over time like the old Cuetec Excalibur cues used to.

Just use wood then. Or am I missing something.
. Also about durability. I've seen guys maul CF shafts on the stupid valley table irons. (Probably their own stupidity)
And I haven't seen it happen in pool yet. but when carbon fiber breaks it blows up for lack of better term. Any kind of flaw in it Is an issue

 

[FunChamp]

I swear, I must be getting old. Actually, I am old. I looked all over their site and cannot find the wheat state color shaft. Perhaps you can post the location like Garczar did.

I doubt the wheat one is gluten free

did find any prices on the website unless i missed it

why would you pay $550 for this shaft when a revo is $499 and is lower in deflection?
unless the shaft color is that important to you

For this cue, it is

 

[garczar]

One of the biggest benefits, to me anyway, is the super slickness of cf shafts. Well, most of them. The McDermott sucked in this regard. I'd be real leery of a shaft that was coated just to look like wood. If they can make it as slick as a Revo/Cynergy/Ignite my hat's off to to Whyte.

Agree 100% on the McDermott CF shaft. Very sticky compared to a REVO / Cuetec.

Why would you pay 499 for a revo from a company who's made a fortune off of Chinese slave labor??? Brilliant marketing I guess. Nothing wrong with quality Chinese product. But the price should be WAY less. Hell I'd bet they are sourcing stuff from whatever asian company from some third world country has the cheapest bid. Honest opinion a 150$ maple shaft plays better. And lasts for years and alot of times decades. My two cents.

If I was a new player. I'm going for a cue with three maple shafts vs one revo. A 29" a 30" and one conical taper .

everyone is entitled to their opinion
i respecfully dont agree that 3 wood shafts equal 1 revo
as for price
the majority of cf shafts are far more expensive than wood
