I have used a variety of KW shafts, and some of them are better than others. Some are coated or waxed with a finish. Some are not. I would say it was equal to or perhaps smoother than untreated maple shafts. It's certainly less prone to collecting dirt and smears than CF. I'd say it is likely the shaft you are using, as opposed to a general statement about KW shaftsYes, they switched back to wood but not kielwood.
One of the reasons to stay with wood is if you don't like to use a glove, with kielwood you need to use a glove (Yes I know there some out there who use kielwood and cf without a glove but they are the exceptional)
