is there any way to remove dark sugar spots from a shaft. i have a great playing shaft but it has a dark spot that sharks the crap out of you.
 
No, and stop looking at the shaft and put that focus into looking at the ball. You know, when you're down on the table you can't see your cue anyway. Plus, shafts with a little sugar play better.
 
Sugar spots are good. The only gripe that can be had is the way they look. Sugar is a sign of a healthy tree, which carries over to a high quality piece of wood. Live with it & learn to love it ;)

May I suggest that you totate the shaft until the spot is out of view.

Good Cuemaking,

I thought sugar was the result of cutting the tree while the sap was still in the wood. Most shaft wood is cut in the winter and should eliminate the majority of sugar. That being said, I agree that other than the look, sugar does no harm to an otherwise good shaft.

Can of worms.
They don't sell well in Japan where they like bleach white shafts. :D
 
i saw Jimmy Reid take his new cue outside and grab a fistful of dirt and proceed to start grinding the dirt into the shaft.after he was done you couldn't see anything but dark wood.
