We’ve been asked: “What happened to the CTS blanks ferrules?”. Well, nothing has happened except that CTS has introduced their new ‘Sensor Fit’ technology at the ferrule. They call it their Ultra Precision Fit System.

Latest CNC ceramic shaping technology to give precise taper shape and fit precision to each join, giving your blank the perfect taper lock between sections for precise feel and sensitivity.

As Sensor Fit removes the paint layer from within the join area, this increases the amount of carbon or glass fiber material that we can fit into the join area, thereby increasing joint strength.

                                                     No paint layer increases volume of fiber                                                              Paint layer reduces volume of fiber

Traditional methods of joint fitting are done by hand or machine sanding. This often leads to a roughly matched pairing of male to female tapers. High spots are common leading to rattles and premature joint movement as they wear. Sensor Fit  produces a fit with a far greater surface contact area. Wearing of the joint and consequential movement is negligible.

Sensor Fit produces a lower profile step between sections, reducing line to blank contact with a shorter joint between each section of the blank.This improves the flex between the joint area to create a smoother transition between sections.
