Do we have test data from a robot with carbon fiber shafts?

most pros do not have a complete game. you can see that by how badly many hit their lag shot coming cold to the table.

in short races in any of the games it can be very costly to give up the first break option.

Think about it. I had 2 revos... One with a flexible shaft and one very stiff. Same diameter. Flexible one had drastically more deflection. Does anyone think that this dramatic difference is caused by a minor difference in end mass alone? The flexibility has a factor, potentially a large one. Golf has had lots of finding and advancement. Pool will have them too

You can play with any cue and shaft.
Top players have done so for decades.

But, It doesn’t mean that just because something has been done for years, you shouldn’t embrace new things that are better and make life and playing pool easier. Or at least give it a good solid try before making up your mind and throw baseless facts in the air.

Most people don’t give anything a fair try, you might think that running a few racks is enough or setting up a few shots to make a solid opinion, But all you do is letting everything that you are used to, take over.
Play with a good CF shaft for 3-6 months, the. Go back to what you were used to, only then, you’ll know what works best for you.
Play with keilwood shaft for 3-6 month and again, go nack to what you were used to.
Same for every piece of equipment.

CF is the future, might as well get used to it.
This not for collectors, this is for players.
I think that kielwood is a hype that will pass, doesn’t come close to CF in performance. It’s just pretty…
If you are 75 years old and have enough wooden shaft to last until you’re dead, that’s fine, but that’s just being a grumpy old man, got nothing to do with pool.
Yes, there are pros that still use wood and prefer wood, that’s fine, they are just delaying the inevitable and prefer not to put in the time to get used to it.

It's a pool cue and anyone that is a good enough player can adapt.

Carbon, more or so, are made for beginners. Not saying advanced players can't play with them but it helps beginners with the learning curve.

I can spot a newbie based on the cue they are playing with. They're usually shooting with a carbon shaft and a measle cue ball.
