Beer and Billiards, together at last!

Place of Origin: In a bar, somewhere near Boston, Massachusetts

What is DRAFT SHAFT™ ?

Draft Shaft™ is a special pool cue that originated from much research in pool halls and pubs! Our unique product is a “short cue” with weight, balance and good looks. With a Draft Shaft cue in hand, pool players can make their shot, even when a pole or wall is too close to the pool table.

 

The inventor of Draft Shaft noticed beer tap handles have a common threaded hole, designed to screw onto a 3/8-16 UNC bolt. This bolt is the standard used on beer faucets. Regular pool cues are incompatible with this bolt.

The Details

Two-piece pool cues are commonly used to play pool. The two pieces can be unscrewed to disconnect the shaft, which is the thin part of a cue with the tip. But, regular pool cues are incompatible with beer tap handles because they use a different size bolt. Trying to attach a beer tap handle to an incompatible bolt will damage your tap handle or pool cue. Drat Shaft solves the connection problem, with a 3/8-16 UNC threaded bolt extending from its shaft.

Every Pool Table Needs a Short Stick

Millions of us play pool on recreational tables at home, in bars and pubs. Pool tables often don't have full clearance on every side. The short pool stick was invented to overcome obstructions such as a wall or pole.

A short cue lets you play pool even when there is a less than ideal amount of space. Until Draft Shaft, most short cues were plain, usually too lightweight, and a bit boring. Draft Shaft proves short cues don’t need to be boring!

Draft Shaft adds a beer tap handle to a cue shaft to create a fantastic short cue with looks, balance and personality. Any standard North American tap handle attaches to a Draft Shaft cue.

Draft Shaft can also be used as a "jump cue" to cause the cue ball to leap over other balls in the way of your target ball. Every pool table needs a short cue.

Why should bartenders have all the fun?

Beer tap handles are designed to be “handled”, but until now, only by bartenders. Beer companies created visually appealing beer tap handles to market their beverages, as well as to pour beer. But thousands of different beer tap handles exist, many with fancy, attractive designs and many people collect beer tap handles as a hobby. Draft Shaft adds a new dimension to enjoying your favorite beer brands. Now you can handle the handles, with a Draft Shaft pool cue. Cheers!

Draft Shaft ™. Don’t play at home without it.
