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 using only water on a lightly damp soft cloth. Use a dry soft cloth to restore the smooth and slick condition, rub briskly until dry for a friction-free stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you continue to use the shaft; stroke friction will naturally burnish the shaft, resulting in a visibly smoother appearance. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefy Shaft Tip Replacement: Defy carbon fiber shafts are equipped with a 0.125\" ferrule. Because the shaft cannot be sanded, special care should be taken when replacing the tip. We recommend sending the shaft to a service professional that has experience replacing tips on carbon fiber shafts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McDermott","offers":[{"title":"12mm","offer_id":57246307123544,"sku":"SHF-MCD-012-1596","price":399.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5mm","offer_id":57246307156312,"sku":"SHF-MCD-125-1595","price":399.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/4745\/1224\/files\/DEFY_Stylized-with-Text_c3647718-4eec-48fa-902f-70c72f38be5a.jpg?v=1778147308","url":"https:\/\/www.cueandcase.co.uk\/products\/mcdermott-defy-ultra-low-deflection-carbon-fiber-american-pool-cue-shaft-with-navigator-automatic-soft-tip-shaft-only","provider":"Cue + Case","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
