I forgot he does use super glue finnish on shafts. I had a Mottey shaft taper copied and a shaft from a cue Efren had built. thanks mark

At the joint?? G-10 pin definitely softens the feel of the hit... But I think the taper also effects that

I bought 2 extended length underwater-wood shafts too-noting is stiffer. I have some other underwater woods maple that is hard as aluminum and was told to use blk g-10 to preserve the hit
