I was having a conversation with a friend and wanted to know if there's anyone here who would put a break tip on an expensive custom player and use it as a main breaker. I remember seeing a "What's in the case" video where the person was using a Sugartree as a breaker. That's the only example...
So what I've gathered from the responses is that adding the phenolic dowel will:
1. Increase the weight of the shaft
2. Increase deflection
What about the feel of the hit?
Wouldn't the shaft flex less?
Wouldn't the phenolic absorb less energy than wood therefore increasing energy into the hit?
Hypothetically let's say I had two shaft that were identical in every aspect. If I installed a phenolic dowel in the tip end, what should I expect in terms of performance other than higher deflection?
