My point was, as far as the car analogy goes, there are huge differences in what a Sentra is capable of and what a z/28 is capable of. There are things that a Sentra cannot do that a z/28 can do.
Out of alll the playing cues I’ve ever owned, there hasn’t been one that did something the other ones couldn’t. That includes carbon, ld maple and traditional maple shafts.
I don’t hate your cue. I’m glad you found a cue that suits you well. I know I’ve enjoyed the journey of trying new cues and shafts to find what fits me best.
There is a correlation here that my teammate noticed, the engineers at Becue were pool players before they started building cues, their intent was to bring to pool what CF brought to golf, a pool cue can't add power to your stroke but it can certainly rob power from your stroke, I remember when you would hear "this cue hits a ton" what they meant was the ability of the cue to transfer the power of your stroke efficiently, that is what these cues are engineered to do, my teammate said he thought I was hitting the cueball hard, on a bar table I showed him almost 3ft of draw just using my wrist, not moving my arm at all, he was floored, all CF cues are not created equal in my opinion, I love the balance, balance point, slickness of the shaft, it just feels like it was built for me.
