Kielwood Fuze v Infuzed Pure x shaft

[USApool1]

Has anyone played with both the Purex Fuze and Infuzed Kielwood shaft and if so how do they compare? In terms of deflection, feel, power etc.

I haven't tried the Fuze shaft (just Kielwood without CF interior), I do own the 12.4mm inFuze solid shaft (Kielwood with CF core) and compared to Predator 314 shaft and a bunch of CF shafts, it produced more CB deflection.
I doubt that the Fuze shaft is any better.
There is also the 10 pc. splice inFuze shaft that I haven't tried either but again, I doubt that there is a difference as the pie construction was never about deflection and more about providing radial consistency.
If you're looking for low deflection, I would look somewhere else (Predator.... wood or CF).
I don't feel that the inFuze produces more power than the 314 shaft, I don't think that it feels better, for me! It does looks pretty and really all I can say about Kielwood is that it looks pretty, for performance I prefer Predator wood and CF shafts or the JFlower SMO CF shaft.

Yeah thanks for your reply it makes you wonder if the ferrule/tip also has a big part to play in deflection.

I was curious if the carbon insert had any impact on how the cue played compared to the plain fuze kielwood version.

Here are the FUZE shafts:

i) solid kielwood Pure X Kielwood FUZE shaft,​

ii) a carbon-fiber core in a 10-splice maple wood shaft Lucasi Pro 10 Splice InFUZED shaft;​

iii) a carbon-fiber core in a 10-splice kielwood shaft, Lucasi Pro Kielwood 10 Splice CF InFUZED Shaft; and​

iv) a carbon-fiber core in a kielwood shaft, FUZE Carbon Fiber InFUZED Kielwood Solid Shaft.​
