J.Pechauer Pro Plus low deflection cue shafts are made of 12 pieces of Hard Rock Maple cut and kiln dried in Pechauer's own work shop. A consistent hit is achieved by symmetrically matching vertical grains to create the best possible radial consistency a cue shaft can offer. Ultra light ferrule design further reduces deflection. All Pechauer Pro Plus shafts come with a medium Pechauer Gold Premium Layered Tip.
