Has anyone tried out those Snapshot Vektor shafts?
I am in the search for an LD shaft which is not too pricey and came upon these... That's what the maker says:
These shafts are built from one piece 100% AA Hard Canadian Maple dowels. One piece shafts offer much more strength than the expensive laminated shafts of our competitors. Our design eliminates de-lamination and broken ferrules. All Vektor 2 shaft ends are cored (drilled) 15 cm deep and fitted exclusively with a Melamine (Ivorine) ferrule and a Black Medium Kamui Tip as default.
Melamine is a very durable thermosetting plastic material. Its characteristics as a ferrule have been compared to Ivory but is much more durable than Ivory. These ferrules are designed and fabricated by us exclusively for the Vektor 2 Shafts.
Also this guy patented the carbide ferrules which look quite cool and are a bit unusual for pool industry... Any thoughts on this as well?
