Shaft weight

[Chopdoc]

Lots of words to try and confuse other people into thinking you didn't say these things

Basically you tried to justify your false accusations by making up other situations in which he could be correct.

Bull.

That's all.

They could have easily inserted a set screw under the brass insert to get that weight up.

Sure.


But it's a Schon shaft. So I doubt it. Can't imagine Schon doing that.

They already tapped that hole for the insert. A set screw down there would be easy to place.
It's not an uncommon practice.

Have any of you guys ever produced a normal playing shaft that the weight turned out to be 4.8 OZ

I have been around a little bit but never seen a 4.8 oz shaft.

In this thread a member says he has a 4.8 oz shaft.

Ernie G in the video about him states he has shafts that weigh over 5.0oz. I process a lot of Maple, shafts blanks vary over 20grams. Change tapers and the final product can vary much more than that.

I sold this one some time ago:


1993 Schon 13.5 marked 31 inch, 5.15oz shaft in amazing condition, no dents no dings, very little bluing. $sold shipped with PayPal Payment. Can ship tomorrow. THx

Well I don't care what your experience tells you. See how that sounds? It's what you just told me. I can go retrieve that shaft and show its weight as 4.6 ounces. My experience tells me you're wrong in your assumptions. And when someone says they have a 4.8 oz shaft, I find that very plausible. Until I have that shaft in my hands, I can only assume they're telling the truth. So if you want to play the role of 'negative Nancy' go ahead and do it elsewhere. You belittled the guy in that other thread because you've assumed you know more about his shaft than he does. Just drop it.

Personally I don't feel I assume anything.
Because I wrote this thread asking if any of you guys are producing solid maple shafts that weigh in at 4.8 oz.

I also wrote down what my playing shafts average weight is 3.6 to 3.8

Here's a Sugartree cue with, according to the poster, 4.5 oz. shafts (without inserts). If those shafts had inserts (for different pins), they might weigh about 4.8 oz.

Ah...I get it.
