I just got a new OB-1 shaft with my pool cue. The shaft tends to get sticky after about 5-10 minutes of use. Is this normal for an ob shaft or do I just need to get it cleaned and sealed? I don't have this problem with regular maple shafts or predator shafts.
 
my shaft used to get sticky after. the trick is to keep a hand towel next to you. half damp (warm water) half dry. makes cleaning up way easier
 
my ob shafts feel terrible when i get them new
i give them to my cue repair guy and after he does his magic they feel nice and smooth
they stay that way for months
after play i wipe them down with a dry towel

If you're cue repairman cleans and seals your shaft it should be fine for awhile. UNLESS, you're one of those people that have very damp hands all the time. A friend of mine has to keep a towel at all times as well as talc
and that solves his problem. Good luck with yours.
