Now you can instantly turn almost any cue into a technology powerhouse by upgrading to a Players HX Low Deflection Technology Shaft. Players HXT Shafts come in two tip diameters and ten different joints, so there's one to fit almost every cue, no matter how old or what brand. Now you don't have to abandon your old standby - turn it into an HXT! Review: Great LD shaft for the money - I’ve been playing pool since 1995 on and off, so I thought to give this low deflection shaft as advertised a shot for the money. I received this shaft few days ago and I have to say that this shaft has significantly improved my game over the original LD 12.75mm that comes with players HXT15 cue. The extreme English that I can execute with Kamui tip is just perfect to have more control on the cue ball. For those who never played with slim shafts (11.75mm or slimmer), it may take you sometime to get used to it but it’s worth it. Review: To replace an old Meucci shaft - Bought this shaft to replace an old Meucci black dot shaft. I should have done this years ago! It has helped my game tremendously. The PureX low deflection tech is well worth the price of the shaft! If you are asking yourself, "Is it time to replace my shaft?", you already know the answer is yes, and for $125, you can't beat these! ## Features - 100% North American Hardrock Maple shaft - Kamui Black soft tip made from 10 layers of hand-selected pig skin specially treated to give - Skinny 11.75mm tip with standard 1/2" ferrule - Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects on non-wearable parts - 5/16 x 18, Black Collar ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006GDNHXC | | Best Sellers Rank | #588,110 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #835 in Billiard Cue Sticks | | Brand | Purex | | Brand Name | Purex | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 61 Reviews | | Frame Material | Maple | | Frame Material Type | Maple | | Item Weight | 0.04 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Players | | Manufacturer Part Number | PSK-18BC | | Material | rubber, wood, stone, Maple | | Material Type | rubber, wood, stone, Maple | | Model Number | SG_B006GDNHXC_US | | Sport | Pool | | Sport Type | Pool | | UPC | 754806170213 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Players PSK-18BC PureX HXT Slim 11.75mm Shaft - 5/16 x 18, Black Collar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512g8jA8yuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit the players hxtsn?** A: Yes!
