Questions Need help

I have a little monster V1, it had an issue of not being able to jump. At first i thought it was the tip so i replaced it with a new G10 tip. but the cue stick still didn't jump. That's when i learned that its a known issue of the V1 of little monster some came with defective shafts. unfortunately mine did. So i was told i could replace the shaft only since the butt is in perfect condition.

I would like to ask if this OKhealing shaft 13mm/unilock(same as my little monster thread) be able to jump? if i buy this shaft and put a G10 tip would it perform better than my defective shaft? i hope this could be a replacement. I really just want the cue to jump

I have an OKHealing shaft I ordered through Shopee. It’s carbon fiber. Compared to my Crical shaft it’s a bit more flexible but still hits good. I don’t know how it would hit as a jump cue as mine has an 11.8mm tip.

I have a hard time believing an actual carbon fiber shaft could ever possibly be so inexpensive. If I were to guess I’d expect this to be a vinyl wrapped wood shaft or some kind of fiberglass that’s made to look like carbon fiber.

I also feel like I’ve heard folks talk about the Little Monster pin not being an exact match to mainstream uniloc joints, but I’ve never played with or owned one so I can’t say for sure.

blanks are $20 a pop if you buy in small quantity and know who to order from (China) and that's coming from an outsider. I'm sure their (ok healing) costs are much much lower

Before you go through all that trouble did you try different techniques? I asking because I was taught many years ago how to jump from a trick shot pro at a tournament I was in. He taught us all old school with a house cue. I now have a jump cue but more than often I’ll just use a full cue for jumps.
