Pool Shaft Comparison
Choosing the right shaft affects accuracy, feel, and forgiveness. Your ideal choice depends on your skill level, material preference, and tip diameter.
Tip diameter and skill level:
- Smaller diameters (11.8 – 12.0 mm) offer more spin and precision but require experience and consistency.
- Larger diameters (12.5 – 12.9 mm) are more forgiving and easier to play with.

Strength
-
► Classic construction
Spliced points are structurally built into the cue itself making it stronger and more stable. This means taking two different pieces of spliced wood and fitting them together like a puzzle.
Solid
Feel
-
► Strong and Stable Construction
Phenolic is one of the strongest and most stable materials available for cue-making. Our True Splice cue joints are encased into Phenolic to increase durability. Phenolic also replaces other wooden components on the backside for greater stability and lifetime concentricity.
-
► Reduced Wood Movement
Added strength from the Phenolic drastically reduces moving parts, eliminating that negative “buzz”.
