Wow, I started this thread a few years back and it's still alive for some reason.
Again, to be clear: I don't hate cf. I've just played with wood for over 40 years and am frankly, too used to it.
Lot's of great players shoot with cf. And lots of great players shoot with wood.
I will say this though: if sponsors didn't "push/force" their top players to convert to cf over the past several years, many still probably would be shooting with wood. The profit margin on cf shafts is much larger than on high tech ld wood ones, and money rules.
I break with a radial cf 12.9 revo shaft on predator aspire butt btw, because even wood players know cf is obviously stiffest for breaking.
But I still shoot with a radial (uni-loc QR is garbage imo) predator vantage shaft on a predator sneaky pete butt for the feel/feedback I like.
To each his own folks. Try as many shafts and sizes as you can and pick the one YOU'RE most comfortable with!
Now everyone relax and accept others' personal preferences, and let's play some pools!!!
