This is a Raishin shaft. It has a Uni-Loc joint. I've only used it for a few weeks since I bought it. I think it has excellent cue ball control and minimal deflection. I find carbon shafts easier to use, and I didn't want to let this one sit unused, so I'm putting it up for sale. It hasn't been shaved down and is 12.5mm. The tip is a Nishiki Premium M. The joint cap is not included. I can include a different one if you'd like. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Thank you.
