New David Roman Play Cue Carbon Fiber Shaft 12.5mm Radial 108g

David Roman Carbon Shaft

For play, 12.5mm tip diameter, 21.4mm joint diameter

Radial joint, with joint cap.

In my subjective opinion, it's easy to switch from a wooden shaft.
The shafts from the three major domestic manufacturers didn't quite suit me, but the David Roman carbon shaft is easy to use.
The straightness and spin of carbon are truly impressive.

The tip has been replaced with an original tip from our workshop, ready for immediate use.

※This is a completely different player-oriented Chinese-made shaft from the "OK Healing" shaft that is often seen.

This time, I am selling a shaft I purchased as a spare.

※I switched from a 314-3.

※It was the perfect shaft for me, who was struggling with individual differences in wooden high-tech shafts.
The feel is similar to Vantage or a harder Hybrid Alpha, but thanks to the ball release characteristic of carbon, the cue ball is less likely to go wild.
Long draws don't waver, and follow-through shots are surprisingly sharp without the cue ball bouncing too much.
I used to mainly use Hybrid Alpha, 314-2, and 314-3, but after switching to the David Roman shaft, the product is so stable that I honestly lost interest in wooden shafts. (I tried four David Roman shafts)

There is little of the sideways deviation that is common with carbon shafts, making it easy to use.
However, because it has power and spin, it's difficult to control the impact point at first, but once you get used to it, you can hit a wide variety of shots.

This is just my personal opinion, but frankly, buying expensive carbon shafts from the three major domestic manufacturers seems foolish.
It has fewer quirks than the later, lower-priced "Rhino."

※Addendum: Unlike "just a carbon stick" like OK Healing, it also flexes, making it one of the best in terms of cost performance.
