Abstract
A pool cue shaft assembly includes a thermoplastic support body extending along a shaft axis from a tip end to a collar end. The support body defines at least three fin members extending radially from a geometric center of the support body. Spaces between the radially extending fin members define at least three longitudinal grooves. At least three inlay members are coupled to the thermoplastic support body. Each inlay member is disposed within a respective longitudinal groove and extends from the tip end to the collar end.
