This is new to me. Spartan Victory carbon fiber shaft with interchangeable joint? I like the idea.

Anyone play with these yet?

3 days and no responses. Is anybody even heard of the shaft before?

 

[terpdad]

Yes, but no experience w/ it. I think the logo is pretty cheesy.

Heard of it but never shot with one. The interesting part of interchangble joint would also be the part that would concern me the most. Maybe its great shaft but would not buy without shooting with it first if I were you.

I agree. But if it's engineered well, it shouldn't matter. It's almost kind of like when people said one piece cues were better than two piece. Now there are very few people that use one piece cues.

I'd like to find somebody that tried one of these Spartan shafts, but I don't want to be the guinea pig. Not for almost four hundred bucks.

The interch. inserts are same as on the OB cf shaft.

I have one with a 12.2 mm Kamui black soft tip.. I have tried a Predator Revo and a Jacoby as well, and really liked both. However, I'm not sure yet on the Spartan. The biggest difference for me is that the 12.2 mm tip is smaller than the 12.75 (ish) that I'm used to.. Unfortunately, 12.2 mm was the only size in stock, at the time (with a radial joint). Now that I know that the joints are interchangeable, I may try to find someone who wants my 12.2 mm.

that's the same interchangeable joint that's on the OB carbon fiber shaft.

Any issues that you noticed with the interchangeable joint?

But the OB are not interchangeable, correct? The OB'S are glued in?

I’ve sold and interchanged the joints. They are a quality shaft and play great IMO. I like the larger diameter too but the 12.25mm shaft plays well.

I haven't removed it yet. Though, I have seen no issues with it so far.

The Spartan shaft uses a star shaped screw for all of their inserts. Their 3/8x10 needs to be drilled or reamed to fit a 3/8x10 modified pin.

Never heard of interchangeable inverts, great ideal if it holds up well

You have to tighten the insert every couple weeks as it tends to loosen up
