Hello,
it arrived yesterday(I wait about a month before Bob made/send it) so these are only few first impressions.
First of all these are some pics:
The shaft is very well done.
The details are:
-lenght 28 3/4 inches(cognoscenti shafts are a little shorter than standard)
-standard taper that ss360 shaft(it's not not like predator, more conical)
-diameter 12.75mm at tip(I aske 12.65, not a big problem but I prefere a little smaller)
-ferrule long 16mm
-hole for joint pin 7/16x11(here a little problem: I have put some soap to help the joint enter in the shaft and it's very very hard to close, maybe in the future the wood will fit, but now it must be a great deal of force
The ring(very great job) was made from KJ.
The weight is 3.88 once(110 gr).
It play very rigid. I initially installed a Talisman WB Hard. I seemed to play with break cue. So today I cut off the talisman and put a Kmaui Black M.
The shaft seems to work well (low deflection) but I still have to do a little practice to make a definitive judgment.
