The Problem
Cue ball deflection - Less is better:  Way less is way better.

The vast majority of all pool shots are missed when the player use english or hits the shot hard.  This is why.  The more side spin you put on the cue ball and the harder you hit the shot, the more the ball squirts and deflects off line.  Consequently, the more you have to adjust or compensate your aim.  The less cue ball deflection you have to deal with, the more precise your game will be.

The Science
The same science that improved the performance of golf clubs is applied to improving the performance of pool cues.  

Some cues generate way more cue ball deflection than others.  We undertook a two year research and testing program and launched the first truly scientific analysis of the performance of a pool cue.  The backbone of our research is a robot we developed called "Iron Willie."  What makes him specail is the he can absolutely reproduce the same stroke over and over.  We also developed a very accurated method of measuring cue ball deflection - so exactly that we can see the effect the shape of your tip has on performance.

The Discovery
Many old theories on what made a pool cue play well were disproved

We found that the way the first ten inches of your shaft bends on impact is the key to how well a cue performs.  Conventional shafts have a tendency to buckle of break down on impact.  This buckling has a big effect on how well your cue transfers energy, and is one of the major causes of cue ball deflection.  Your shaft has to bend; the way it bends determines how well it performs.  

Utilizing state-of-the-art composites and polymers allowed us to control the way the shaft flexes

The engineering in the front end of the 314 shaft serves two purposes: (1) to absorb and dissipate the compression generated on impact, and (2) to control the shaft's stiffness.  The 314's ferrule is made of an indestructible polymer designed for its special properties of stiffness and hardness.  Internally, the first five inches in reinforced with a composite material fortified with micro fibers.  Together, these patent pending technologies alter the shaft's natural tendencies to buckle and allow for a more efficient bend.

The Results
The 314 shaft improves performance in the four major catagories

Accuracy:
The least deflecting cue we measured generates at least 25% more cue ball deflection than any butt with a 314 shaft. This dramatic reduction is guaranteed to make your game more precise. 

Consistency:
One piece shafts can be stiffer in one direction than in another.  The 314 shaft is composed of ten pieces which are radially aligned to produce a 360 degree sweet spot.  You will never get this degree of consistent performance with a one piece shaft.

Power:
The 314 shaft produces considerably more spin.  This increased power makes it much easier to move the cue ball around the table.  You simply won't have to stroke as hard to draw and follow the cue ball.  We guarantee your game will be more powerful.

Feel:
Traditional shaft's vibrate on impact and distorts the natural feel of the cue.  The purer transfer of energy on the 314 shaft produces less vibration and leaves the player with a very solid feel.  If you are serious about the game of pool, try a 314 shaft.  You will play better pool.
