I'm looking for any information I can find on the shaft construction of Nubs Wagner AKA Nova cues.

I'm looking to buy a Nova shaft, I also think it might be easer to have one made for my cue. I know there has been much discussion on the shaft insert that Nubs used in his shafts. I have done a lot of reading of past post and threads trying to learn all I can about this subject. This is what I have learned, At one point there was a black one piece insert on nova shafts, Many people have said things like when hit hard the shaft will expload. From reading a older post it was said that Nubs later fixed this problem by using Diamond wood for the insert, and that seemed to solve the problem. Can anyone confirm this, or add there knowledge to this, I'm trying to look into having a shaft made for my Nova and want to make sure I use the same material as Nubs did. Please feel free to add any information you can share with me on this subject.....Thanks in advance to all the skilled people on this sight..............

The nova cues I saw had a brass insert but I know he also helped Jackson cues get their start and they used phenolic with their 9/32X18, I'll ask him and he what he says.
 
I have 2 Nova cues. One is an early cue with leather and spliced points. The other is a later cue with CNC. Both shafts have nylon inserts.
