OB-2 5/16 x 14 Flat Faced Black Collar

The OB-2 Cue Shaft is a perfect compliment to the already proven OB-1 cue shaft. The OB-2 has all the great features of the OB-1, but in a smaller tip size that reduces cue ball squirt even more! The Vibration Dampening Core has been modified to give an even more solid hit!

Description

Specifications:

11.75mm tip diameter
1/2" Laminated Maple
Combination pro/conical taper
Everest Tip by Tiger Products

Feel

The OB -2 uses a smaller version of the OB-1's proven vibration dampening core for that Solid hit that you've been looking for!

Accuracy

Ultra Low Deflection comes from OB Cues advanced technology and the small 11.75mm tip size!

Consistency

Like the OB-1, the SR-6 construction provides better Radial Consistency than both flat laminated and solid wood shafts!

Spin

Combine all this with the OB-2's specially modified taper and you get all the spin you need for those trouble spots in a package that is easy to control.

SR-6 Construction

The OB-2 uses flat laminated maple segments which are individually stress relieved. 6 segments are bundled together to make each shaft. SR-6 construction combined with the OB-2's all maple ferrule gives a solid feel and performance you just have to experience to believe.

OB-2 shaft 5/16x14

The low-deflection / low-squirt technology that OB Cues puts into their shafts is 2nd to none. Don't take my word for it, go to http://www.obcues.com/construction and read for yourself. When compared to the competition, it was a no-brainer for me to choose OB.
The foam-core of the OB-1 (12.75 mm ferrule) / OB-2 (11.75 mm ferrule) has a soft, "cushiony" hit compared to a solid shaft, and may take some getting used to.
But that "hit" is part of what makes this low-squirt shaft so amazing. The day I received my shaft, I did an A/B comparison with a solid shaft cue. With the OB shaft, I could easily shoot 1-tip of side English and only barely change the path of the cueball. But the same shot with the solid shaft clearly sent the cueball off the line of my aim. (Search forums about this and you'll learn that there is a LOT of controversy about squirt and "compensation".)
If you like what the shaft does for you but you can't past the "hit", try the OB Classic (12.75 mm ferrule) or the OB Classic Pro (11.75 mm ferrule). After purchasing this shaft and having concern with the “hit”, I bought the Classic Pro, and then the OB Break Cue. I use them exclusively every week. And all but one of my teammates shoots with an OB.
In summary, the low-squirt technology makes it good, and the "made in USA" construction and undeniable quality makes it great!
