DEFY HIGH-PERFORMANCE CARBON FIBER SHAFT

Introducing Defy — a shaft that defies the stereotype of carbon fiber shafts.

Defy gives you the unparalleled accuracy and control that you expect from carbon fiber, but uses state-of-the-art technologies to shatter its limitations. SmacWrap, originally designed for the aerospace industry, absorbs vibration and dampens noise resulting in a confident hit with a soft feel and quiet sound. Our super-smooth coating reduces friction, allowing the shaft to glide through your fingers with ease like a wood shaft. Only Defy’s insane energy transfer and accuracy will remind you that you’re using a carbon fiber shaft. Patent: 11,534,676

NAVIGATOR Break Impact
The Navigator Break Impact is a hybrid phenolic break tip. Most phenolic tips are designed to generate power, but at the cost of cue ball control. The Break Impact tip’s hybrid construction provides tremendous cue ball control without sacrificing power. This makes it ideal for breaking and jump shots.

Joint Diameter Options

Question: I would like to purchase a Defy shaft but I do not know what is the right joint diameter for my cue. Do I need the .843" or the .855" joint diameter?

Answer: Our joint diameter can vary from cue to cue due to our finishing methods, so it would be best to physically measure the joint diameter with a caliper. Most steel collar joints will be close to the .843", while many non-steel McDermott joints may be closer to the .855" diameter.

Cleaning Instructions:
Defy carbon fiber shafts have a special finish that contains a slip agent. This helps keep the shaft slick and resists chalk, dirt, and hand oils from soiling the shaft. For peak performance, you may periodically clean the shaft by wiping it down with an alcohol wipe.

Never sand the surface as this will damage the special finish and void the lifetime warranty. Do not use talcum powder, baby powder, hand chalk, or any solid or liquid abrasives.
