I respectfully submit that when stroke A is played with a carbon shaft and the resultant energy is X and the exact same stroke A when played with a wood shaft produces resultant energy Y, we can
reliably conclude and concur the two measured results will be different.
The proposition is that CF shafts transfer power more efficiently which I defined in one of my earlier posts. The question is whether adding power vs. preserving power thru more efficient transfer of energy is the same. Of course it isn’t whenever you wind up with more than you started with,
But semantically speaking, if a player winds up generating power using the dictionary’s definition of efficiency, they get more delivered with a CF shaft versus their wood shaft.
If more is greater with a CF shaft than what is produced with a wood shaft, it isn’t adding power but technically preserving it.
My original post was more intended as satire than a statement of fact.
Most players don’t give a shit about the technical facets of their pool cues. They typically don’t know the weight of their cue or brand & hardness of the tip they’re playing with.
So yes, a shaft is not designed to add power but merely deliver it.
