Savannah “The RoadRunner” Easton using a wood shaft?

What I feel from a good shaft/tip combo is feedback in my hand from vibration and sound, it doesn't make me play better its just something I like. It also gives me clues as to how hard it hit the cue ball and center ball will feel different than draw or a lot of side spin. The majority of carbon shafts I have tried so far have all been extremely muted by comparison but it seems like most players prefer soft and super soft trips which may be the majority of the problem. I prefer harder vs softer tips.

I use hard tips on CF shafts as well, no issue there.
Don’t know which CF shafts you have tried but not all are “dead”, there is definitely a feedback, just something that needs to get used to.
By the way, that feedback that you talking about is the energy transferred back to the cue upon impact, with CF there is less energy coming back to the shaft, which means more energy is transferred to the CB which is the “power” that all are taking about in regards to CF.

You should try the JFlowers SMO, it has a long pro taper and it’s more flexible than most CF shafts, it might give you the feel that you are looking for.

I can barely even find reviews of their regular or HP shafts! I'm hoping Average Joe Pool reviews eventually tests these cues out.
