If one of your good customers is having you build his keeper daily playing cue that will be used a great deal daily for many years how many shafts do you recommend assuming they want tradtional maple match weighed shafts and properly care for them(no abrasives,dont leave in car,etc.)? Will 2 last a normal lifetime or should a person 3 or 4?Thanks,M.S.

I would think that 2 is plenty. If extras were needed later down the road, they could be made..

Oddly enough I would recomend 2 & tell him to PLAY with both. They seem to stay straighter, if you play with them. This is just my experiece, but I've seem lots of people buy cues with 2 shafts & only use one. Then when they go to sell the Q, the unused shaft is crooked...JER
 
Even one will/should last a lifetime...if they're taken care of...

I just built Keith McCready a playing cue and a break cue per his specifications. He plays hard and long. I built a total of 4 shafts for him for the two cues. Pic of the playing cue is on my website. However, the other cue that I just posted on the website JM1025 was custom built with 4 shafts. So it can vary depending on what the customer wants.
