The warping thing is somewhat overstated IMO.

Europe is the most carbon obsessed while loads of Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Filipino players use wood shafts.

I don't think one performs better than the other, but personal preference like preferring the feel of one over the other is a valid reason for wanting to use that shaft.

Let me give you a better analogy. You may prefer driving a car with a manual transmission but a dual clutch transmission is by far faster and superior. It shift faster than any human can.

You say warpage is overstated but I am guess you don't live in a nordic country. One of my buddy had to replace his cue last month because it was beyond repair. The warpage was pretty bad. Guess what he did ? He bought a Predator Revo + Predator P3.

Pick it up and hear a voice on the other end? This is how people come to believe in magic.

A technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic.

Some people have conjectured that the fantasy series, the wheel of time by Robert Jordan is actually about a distant future where the remnants of an advanced civilization are exactly that after the technology went awry causing cataclysm.

Change is hard. Some people adapt others can't. That's why wood shaft still exist even though CF is a superior material for cues. It doesn't warp. If you ever live in a northern region, cold won't impact your cues. You can leave it in the car even at -40c and it will be fine. Don't try that with a wood cue. it will be ruined.

That being said, players are getting caught into the marketing BS pool cue maker as spewing. People were playing pool way before LD became the #1 selling points (Thank you predator for that). Bridge length can totally overcome deflections but hey don't tell you that.

If you always want the best of it you are generally considered a nit.

Lou, you said it all in your responses. If you want to be a better player you HAVE to challenge yourself. It isn't about being a locksmith. There is NO substitute for real world experience. Playing under the kind of pressure and within the kind of situations a better player will put you in.
