This is a genuine shaft from the Chinese manufacturer, CueElf, which was separately auctioning the Rean butt. The included tip has been replaced. I think this shaft is easy to use with little deflection. There may be slight warpage or minor scratches from the tip replacement, but they do not affect play. *The reference image includes the butt, but this listing is for the shaft only. 114g Ferrule diameter: 12.5mm Joint diameter: 21.5mm Radial
