Where can I find these other then Cue Component's?
Also, is there such a thing as a laminated PH shaft?
 
Any maker can make them.
I don't really see a need for one except for breakers.
They're heavy and rough.
No need to laminate ph. They're pretty stable.

Yeah, I was thinking as a break/jump type of use, and was just wondering if anyone has ever laminated one, mostly out of curiosity.:)

Just looking for a place to get a few blanks relatively cheap.

personally, i think this is all getting out of hand, unless you just want to carry around an interesting break cue.

all you need is a shaft with a great spine to it(a tight grained, birdseye shaft would be outstanding),,,a tapered on the shaft(maybe a 2mm pickup at 15"),,, hard ferrule/hard tip,,,massive metal joint(like a 2" brass),,,and you're set.

The purple heart does break rather nicely from what I've seen..
 
Woodworth:

Woodworth of woodworth cue makes both purpleheart and liptus shafts. I personally like the liptus as it is very stiff an slightly lighter. He can match them up to your butt or make you a jump break of your choice. Shop #615-210-6703 Quality work resonable prices

My break cue is made of a fullsplice cocobola butt blank with two purpleheart shafts, one with a phenolic one piece tip, and the other with a regular ferrule and hard tip made by "in my opinion" the best Mike Webb............. Let me tell you WOOOOW.... What a break !!!!!!!!!! :D
