Who except for predator makes pie-laminated, hollowed out shafts?

[skogstokig]

Can cuemakers do this without infringeing on predators patent? i know OB has some nice shafts but except for them who makes these kind of shafts?

From what i've understood the lamination makes it radially consistent and the hollowing/drilled out front makes it less likely to squirt and deflect.

dominator......... I think

if you mean dominiak i think they are not hollowed out

i played a road hustler some weeks ago and he had a shaft that was longer than my 314 but weighed just as little. was almost earl strickland-long, was his cue. he said it was hollowed out in the front several inches (as is predator) but more than the predator is. dont know if it was laminated though.
