I have a hard time getting past the first few shots with carbon shafts. I don't know if it was the tips or the shaft itself but it seems like the dozen or so I have tried so far all seemed so dead, like they had super soft tips on them, there is barely any feedback after hitting the cue ball. When I hit the cue ball i want information back from the cue, so far I have not got that from a carbon shaft. I would hate to have to spend $500 on a shaft and then install a tip of my preference and still hate the hit.
