What's so special about the "Ultra-X" High Preformance Shaft©?
In short, the "Ultra-X" High Performance Shaft© will give you greater consistency due to the cross grain lamination technology. The shaft produces less cue ball deflection than conventional shafts without sacrificing cue ball control and feel.
Do I need to buy a brand new cue to have an "X" series High Performance or Low Deflection Shafts©?
No. We have many options for the Ultra-X, Ultra-X LD or Pro-X Laminated Shafts©. Shafts are available in five joint options and 2 Custom options. Depending on the type of cue you have we should have a shaft that will screw right on your existing handle. Alternatively you can buy a Partial shaft that has no joint work done and have that shaft custom fit to your cue.
We offer the following joint types:
. 5/16x14
. 5/16-18
. 3/8-10
. 3/8-Radial Uni-Loc©
. Uni-Loc©
. Partial
. Blank (in dowel form)*
All of which are available in the following styles:
. Single black Phenolic Ring

*Blanks are only available through wholesale and distribution.

What kind of warranty do I get on an "X" Series Shaft©?
The "X" Shafts© are warranted for life against any manufacturer defect. This does not include warpage or abuse. The limited lifetime warranty covers the ferrule against cracking and the lamination is covered against separation.
Can I break with my playing "X" series shafts?
If you use your "X" shafts as a break shaft, then any problems caused from the break will not be covered by the limited warranty (ferrule, tip, etc.). The Tiger X series shaft is intended for playing and not for break. Only a specific shaft that is made for break will be under limited warranty at all times.
I want to have my "X" Shaft© turned down, is this okay?
You can have your shaft turned down but not more than .25mm. If it is turned down below, it will no longer be under any warranty.
Can I have my local repair person work on the shaft?
Yes. You can have a reputable cuesmith replace tips, clean your shaft and remove dings as necessary without any trouble at all. However, the Tiger Ferrule is a patented design and replacements are only available direct from the factory.
What's the best way to care for my "X" Series Shaft©?
We recommend using the Tiger® Shaft Smoother and Burnisher to keeping your shaft smooth and dirt free. We do not recommend sanding of your shaft to clean it as this will just shorten the life of your shaft. Please refrain from exposing shafts to excessive moisture.
I want other laminated cue tips on my "X" Series Shafts©. Is that an option?
No. Only if it's one of Tiger laminated cue tips!!! All "X" Series Shafts© come with the #1 laminated tips in the business, Onyx or Sniper© Laminated Cue Tips!
What is so special about Onyx-Ltd, Sniper© Laminated Cue Tips?
The Onyx and Sniper© tips are arguably the most consistent Laminated Cue Tips in the world! They do not mushroom and play the same on replacement day as they do the day you installed it. Used by many world champions including Darren "Dynamite" Appleton, Tiger Tips are the best in the world.

How do I install one of your laminated cue tips?
We strongly recommend you have a professional cuesmith install your laminated cue tip. If you choose to do so yourself, roughen the back (glue side, it is stamped with an embossed initial or black if a Sniper) side of the cue tip with sandpaper, apply a drop of Tiger (or other CA type glue) to the sanded side and rub the tip (glue side) on the sanded and cleaned ferrule to spread the glue, center the tip on the ferrule and let it set for 15 seconds. Moisten the sides of the tip and trim to fit with a single edge blade (be careful!!!). Then shape the tip to your preference and your tip is ready to be played with. Enjoy!
