Shafts – Control and Precision

The shaft is the long part of the cue that runs from the cue tip and ferrule to the joint. This component has a major influence on control, accuracy and overall playing feel with every shot.

The shaft largely determines how a cue responds during play. With the right balance between stiffness and flexibility, the cue can flex in a controlled way at impact, contributing to a stable stroke and clean contact with the cue ball.

When choosing a shaft, several characteristics play an important role. The material and applied technology determine the playing characteristics, while the length, cue tip size and joint type are also key factors. The joint type must match the butt of the cue properly to ensure a solid and reliable connection.

Shafts are available for both pool and carom, each designed to meet the specific requirements of these disciplines. Choosing the right shaft allows the playing feel to match your personal playing style as closely as possible.

At Buffalo, you will find shafts for pool and carom cues in various designs. Would you like advice on which shaft best suits your cue and playing style? Our team is happy to help. You can easily order a shaft online at Buffalo.nl.
