And the point that the vast majority of dings one might sustain with a wood one would have been avoided with carbon?
Carbon is impervious to minor dings only?
Doubtful anybody reads all that
In terms of frequency and severity of dents, most are of minimal measure- those you and others can address- and 100% avoided with carbon.
The major traumas are rare and all bets are off when you enter that zone
No ding to a wood shaft that is "quick, easy and painless" to remove would have occurred if inflicted upon a carbon shaft.
The rest, therefore... unnecessary in writing or the pool room.
Factual..ok. Not relevant though.
The force required to damage a carbon shaft is far greater than to damage a wood one, so the majority of dings- which are likely minor- are completely avoided with cf.
