Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

They dropped a video on their Instagram showing the manufacturing of the shaft. I have no doubt they made this themselves.
Who is 'they'? Pagulayan Billiards is just a marketing co. Some outside source is making these. Says in Canada but do they make their own tubes or are they just another assembler? I'm betting on the latter. Regardless the price is insane. Some 400Fargo tech suckers will have to have one.

No idea. You tell me.
Here is the insta post in question:
So you don't want a Ghost quarter holder for $20?! Normally it is $30 but if you act now, you can save 10 bucks.
But what there's more! Add the Dust Remover for only $21.99 to possibly get free shipping. And who doesn't want a signed photograph of Fedor and Carlo for $60? That's a steal.
like i said i SERIOUSLY doubt they've invested the $$$ to do what it takes to make tubes. They are buying tubes and assembling them. I'll stand on that until someone hears for sure they make the tubes. at this price they are making a killing. perfect piece for tech addicted suckers.
I tend to agree but based on what most players make on-table they have to do something to make $$. Just don't blow smoke up people's asses and tell them this-or-that cue/shaft is gonna up their game two balls. 1,000Canadian/800US for this shaft is ridiculous.

I don't why people chase shafts .... Any good quality shaft is enough to make balls .......
I'm the same way. I'm getting older and crustier, though. But if you follow the Reddit billiards sub, you see all kinds of new and young players who have equipment and accessory obsessions. Hell, if I could slap my name on a product and make some cash on it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I believe Touch of Middle is still available.
Could be that a custom cue maker built the prototype, then a Chinese factory will build the customer version.
Talk about getting the SHAFT, $800.00 for a Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft is NUTS.

Somewhere in the description they cite the wood like action properties. Sounded like it's a cored maple shaft wrapped in CF.
Also, low deflection foam.

UHH,no. There are no small custom makers making tubes. These guys are buying tubes from someone then assembling them. Getting the 'wood like' sound is done thru different types/densities of foam filling as well as wood plugs ala Meucci. There's zero reason for these to be so expensive. Just my $.02 on this but i think Alex is making a cash grab late in his career. If he gets suckers,errrrrrrrr, customers to bite more power to him.

but it was a good move to make it square. I have a piece of taom, not sure where I got it, I used a couple weeks ago because I found it in my bag. What stupid idea it was to make it round, it's always rolling away on you, into pockets, onto the floor. It's not in my bag anymore.
