I consider myself from the "old school" thinking carbon fiber shafts couldn't mimic the feel and sound of a high quality maple shaft. I heard so many stories mentioning it takes time to get use to the feel of a carbon Fiber shaft. If I had my eyes closed and someone put either my HP kielwood shaft and Pagulayan carbon fiber on my billiard butt, I wouldn't and couldn't tell the difference. This shaft after striking the cue ball behaves in sound and feel like my kielwood shaft. However, the Pagulayan exceeds the performance of my wooden shaft. For those individuals afraid of taking the jump from their maple shaft to the Pagulayan shaft, all I can say is "Fear Not."
Hi Mr. Pagulayan and your team! I just recently bought your blue chalk 2pcs and you gifted me a sample of Satin touch! Here’s my review of the both products. I have been using your chalk for 6 months now and I really loved it, love the sound that it makes, the texture and makes my game more consistent. Now the satin touch that you sent surprised me and made me think that this is “the final piece” of my game.. my shaft feels smooth all the time and makes my game even more consistent, I like the smell to.
Now Im a filipino currently living in sweden and competing national tournaments. Hopefully if get lucky in my career your product will for sure be part of my success and will continue using them!!!!
Deflection low, spin applied good. But honestly you can get used to those for any shaft. What is different with pristine is the feel of the hit. Feels and hits so solid. Better than some wood shafts I have had and definitely better than any other carbon I have tried. If you are a feel player do yourself a favor and at least try it when you can.
Mid 600’s Fargo player. Decided to try a pristine 12.2 30” as I have been buying and trying many brands to experience all the options. On first hit I was stunned with how quiet and soft the shaft felt. While still having insane power. All my prior shafts had some amount of annoying vibration on power shots and my Pristine just didn’t. I immediately fell in love and made it my playing shaft. For context I have been playing with Whyte Carbon 30” with a custom phenolic radial insert. I will be selling all 3 and getting a backup prestine. While I will miss the interchangeable joints I just can not go backwards.
I love this shaft. Only one problem. The shaft plays so well, now I can only blame myself for my poor play. I’m a pool player–I need to complain! I need excuses! What will I do now?!?!?!?!
