Action ACTCF Carbon Fiber Shaft
The Action ACTCF Carbon Fiber Shaft is an affordable way to switch from maple to carbon fiber. It fits any cue with a 5/16x18 flat-faced joint and gives your current cue a modern, low-maintenance shaft. You don't need to buy a whole new cue. The shaft has a sleek matte charcoal finish with an embossed Action logo near the joint. A thin black collar and a black tip complete the clean, understated look.
Why Carbon Fiber
-
Carbon fiber composite construction: Carbon doesn't warp from heat or humidity the way wood can. It holds up well to everyday dings and needs very little upkeep.
-
12" hybrid pro taper: A long, consistent taper gives you a smooth, even feel through your bridge hand.
-
12.25mm shaft tip: Slightly smaller than a standard 13mm maple shaft, which many players like for better cue ball control and a precise feel.
Ready to Play
-
Black 7-layer medium tip: Comes installed and ready for play, with a medium hardness that balances control and response.
-
5/16x18 flat-faced pin: Works with the many cues built on this common joint, including most Action cues.
-
Joint protector included: Protects the joint threads when the shaft is off the cue.

FAQ
Will this shaft fit my cue?
It fits cues with a 5/16x18 flat-faced joint. That's a common joint on many production cues, including most Action cues. Check your cue's joint type before you order, because shafts with other pins (3/8x10, Uni-Loc, Radial and so on) won't fit.
What are the benefits of a carbon fiber shaft?
Carbon fiber resists warping, isn't affected by humidity the way wood is, and holds up well to dings. It also cleans easily and doesn't need the sanding and burnishing that maple shafts do.
What size is the tip?
The shaft tip is 12.25mm and comes with a black 7-layer medium tip installed.
How long is the shaft?
It's 29" long, the standard length for most full-size pool cue shafts.
What kind of taper does it have?
It has a 12" hybrid pro taper for a smooth, consistent stroke through the bridge.
Does it come with a joint protector?
Yes. A joint protector is included.
Will it look right on my cue?
The matte charcoal finish and thin black collar are neutral, so they pair well with most cue butts. They look especially good on black, gray and carbon-look designs.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. It comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Is this a good first carbon fiber shaft?
Yes. It's one of the more affordable carbon fiber shafts, so it's a practical way to try carbon fiber without buying a new cue or a high-end shaft.
