and there is no indication that the people that reported continued shedding didn't do a thorough cleaning.
Seal a CF Shaft
- Thread starter Island Drive
- Start date
I did....till the alcohol soaked White cotton rag stopped getting dirty.
i played 2hrs today and at the end there was a very small blackish smudge on my bridge hand middle finger. nothing to worry about. imo this is a non-issue. i clean it once maybe twice a wk with 91%alc on a paper towel.

Island said his needed more cleaning.
Mine no longer need black wiped from them.
Again, it seems the residue is (was?) likely leftover as a manufacturing shortcut.
Start and end were different occasions though, right?
Thx, I'll probably try the rainX Auto Zone product 1st. $2 This product is probably fine, but with shipping etc. it has the feel of $30.
My hands are black/blue after just an hour Q.S.
Since chalk is powdered rock, its rubbing may be opening up the CF pores allowing the fibres to reopen.

Some of the cf shaft manufacturers tell you to avoid getting chalk on the shaft as it's an abrasive. Probably easier said than done. Maybe use expensive chalk that's not so messy.
Nah, doesn't effect play.
I used to play so much, I had a big callous on top of my middle finger/from my index finger rub.
I purchased a gross of Crest/Predator/less cakey than moist Master Chalk.
$40 for 144/gross. that works.
And who ever invented a Round Chalk cube/miscue. Grab it, miss it, rolls on the table and moves a ball/foul. Or rolls under the table. ugh

Not saying it effects play, but it might put less chalk dust on your shaft given that's what you were worried about.
Chalk definitely adheres to mine.
Why isn't water suggested for cf shafts, anybody know?
Could care less about that dust but thx.

I posed this before. Why not contact Meguiars and ask their advice. They are a great resource.

Got rain X today, treated the shaft.
After an hour of play, hands still blackened.

If your hands sweat this will probably be an issue with most cf shafts. Maybe glove time.Got rain X today, treated the shaft.

Why not order a revo from Seyberts, you can chalk it and shoot with it for 30 days. See if it is indeed all cf that reacts to your hands that way.
CF is a manufactured product, I suspect there are different qualities. Maybe you have a bad tube from a bad batch.
