---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this video, I discuss in great detail, the three main types of maple shaft construction and the reasoning behind them. This is a must-know for both cue makers and players alike. I cover solid maple shafts, flat laminated shafts, and Radially laminated shafts and the pros and cons of each to help you find the shaft that will improve your overall game. - Спорт
Thank you for answering one of my questions. Great exposition on different types of shafts and what they are trying to do. I’m learning really good stuff from you.
I appreciate that very much! Please stay tuned for more videos.
Great video! Tell us something about CF Shafts compared to wooden shafts.
Great suggestion!
Congratulations and a lot of respect for what you doing!
You are the most better cuemaker în all aspects!
I enjoying all the videos,and I learn a lot!
I'm new în this job and I follow your steps!My best regards!❤
Thank you very much!
thanks for all the great videos. its helped me tremendously doing repairs and on my journey to building cues as a hobby. i would personally like to see a video on making and parting off rings. how to create the billets and how you part them off on a cue lathe. thanks again.
Thank you for watching, I will be more than happy to put a video together that covers this for you.
Another great video! Thank you! We are all waiting to hear your opinions on carbon fibre shafts! And tips! Soft vs Med. Vs Hard and laminated vs standard. Should new players start out with carbon and soft tips? The only advantage over other low deflection shafts i see is the scratch and dent resistance and resistance to warping (warping not being as much an issue with radial laminations). Personally i cant get over the idea that the carbon fibre has a "plastic like feel" and i prefer wood low deflection. I shot with a standard shaft for 5 years. Then took a break from pool and switched when i came back from a hiatus. I always figured low deflection shafts were a advantage because it minimizes variables (about 20% less delfection and radial consistency) but the transition was a lot of effort and discipline. But worth it.
I will be doing a lecture on this very topic soon.
Thank you for the great insight. It helps me ask the right questions when someone asks to have a shaft made. I'll definitely ask how long they have played and if they are conscious of if they ever noticed inconsistencies in the hit and go from there. The power topic was very insightful as I personally have noticed that less effort is needed when comparing natural wood to carbon fiber.
This is very true, thank you for watching.
This is great info!!
Glad it was helpful!
That is a very well put together video. THank you for your insight. I'd like to see you do a video on the carbon fiber shafts and pros and cons etc.
Thanks, will do!
Very informative. Awesome video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much you shared that informations with us.
Thank you for watching! Please share.
Earl Strickland could probably explain how to use a natural ring shaft, he is amaster at throw
As a friend of mine, I would agree. He has a lot of valuable insight.
The closer the grain (lines) is in a shaft - the older the tree was. Back in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's you were still able to find 100 year old trees that had the tight grain patterns. Not so much anymore - hence, here comes laminated shafts, which are flat (some were pie shaped) pieces of wood glued together. Wood with 14 thru 18 grains per inch are almost impossible to find - because a tree has to be 100 years old to have a grain that tight. All maple shafts have a low and high deflection areas. It depends on where the spline is at - that is if it is at the 12 oclock or 3 oclock position. 12 o'clock is high deflection and 3 o'clock is low deflection (also for drawing). Not many people know about this. By the way - the spline is those 'half circles' on the shaft running the length of the shaft. You gotta look close to see the spline. example: the Meucci red dot shaft was a low deflection shaft if the red dot was at the 12 o'clock position. Interesting stuff.
I get 14-18 rings per in all the time, it is very common.........
I started marking my shafts, so that I know the direction of the parallelism, between the rings, so as to limit THROW, but also to rotate for maximize power, for center ball shots.
Wow! So much useful information.
The part about the glue adding weight to the front 1/3 was so correct. The glue holding laminated layers of Tip material adds weight to the front end also? and as the Tip wears down, you wind up with a mixture of glue and animal skin? It would seem better to have natural animal skin rather than a mixture with some adhesive.
I wish I had known all this 60 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to your next video.
Glad it was helpful!
I thought to knew something about schafts......but that s really another Level knoledge 🤣 ! Reaaaaaallllly good Video....i measured my old 314 ....it s down to 11.5 , i can t play the same .....my wonderful longoni is 18 oz something......i train my stroke everyday on my dining table ! I m a lot jounger than you .....47 ! Thanks a lot
Thanks 👍
please can you add a link to your cue making page?

what is the radial consistency on Keilwood shafts? are they affected as much as a natural wood shaft? Would it be worth the extra expense to get a radial spliced keilwood shaft?
Thank you for your question. The radial consistency between a traditional Canadian Hardrock Maple shaft and a Torrefied (Keilwood) Shaft are the same. The torrefication process does not change the radial consistency. With that being said, yes, I think if you could find a radially laminated keilwood shaft it would serve you better. best of luck to you.
I just started back playing a year ago after 35 years away and playing with a G-Core shaft. Should I stay with a wood shaft or go with carbon?
Thank you for your question. It really just depends on your playing style, preference, and if you have already learned to compensate for throw/squirt. You may find the Radial Consistency of the carbon fiber to be beneficial, but then again, you may not like the sound, hit, or feel of carbon fiber. I would suggest trying one out to see if you like it. I personally stick with wood.
What’s your cue company name? Might be interested in ordering one
My brand is KCC or Krown Custom Cues.
Jacoby Ultra shaft, is the most unrated shaft on the market
Shaft preference boils down to the player and everyone feels differently about different shafts. I can name a few that do not like them and I can also name a few that do not like mine as well.
Do carbon fiber shafts have a spine?
Yes, sir, but not as pronounced.
You should cut a video on how to build a 6 pt. Snakewood into macassar ebony with white black white veneers forearm blank. And sell it to me. Lol
I hear ya lol
You have a ton of knowledge to impart, but your audio is atrocious. There is a high pitch whine in the background and your voice is very low. I still tried to listen. Thanks
I had CNC machine running in the background, I still have to do my job lol.
