Tip quality and size accuracy: 5/5
Shaft fitting on 3/8×10 pin: 5/5
Hit quality: 5/5. it hits solid with great feedback.
Deflection: 2/5. Almost as much as solid maple shaft.
Shipping: seller didn’t ship the shaft until after 3 weeks. I think these shafts are made to order and shipped later. The description does not mention it. It arrived on 30th day from the order date.
Shaft beige coating: 2/5. Coating is already chipping out of the box. I doubt it will last longer.
Other issues: You can feel the edges of CF tube at ferule and joint collar. They don’t fit flush. That tells me the ferrule and joint insert are premade and installed. Then never machined to flush them with the tube.
Shaft’s pro taper: 1/5. The pro taper is very short and horrible. It’s nowhere close to what is considered the pro taper in USA. This is a common problem with Chinese companies making pro taper shafts. See the pics for its comparison with my other pro taper shafts.
Color: 12.4×21.4×737(pro) Cue Tip Diameter: 3-8×10 Joint
