Of these 3 CF shafts, which do you have or would purchase?

[Hail Mary Shot]

Jayson Shaw run 832 balls playing 14.1 with a CF shaft.
Have you watched the European Pool Championships in the last few years?
They are actually playing 14.1 at this as one of the championship disciplines, have you seen how many players used CF shaft?

Sorry, all this CF is dead nonsense and that wood is better for finesse shots is BS, just an excuse why one is playing badly, just like why Americans sucks at the Mosconi….

CF is NOT dead, one just needs to give it enough time to learn it, learn its nuances and feedback and get used to it.
Many go for soft tips to try and control the power of the shaft and then they complain that the shaft is dead, put a hard tip and let it dance in your hand.

There are quite a few makers that claim that their CF shaft feels like wood but at the same time it produces more deflection, why pass down on one of CF major benefits just to cut down the learning curve?

Deflection aside, one main reason why I like cf shafts. It's not warped and resistant to dents, dings, etc...

I've been doing research on CF shafts, (currently using Pred Cat and Pre-Cat shafts for years), and have narrowed it down to these three;
J. Flowers SMO, wood/CF combo and 100% CF
Cuetec Cynergy
Jacoby V5
I've used wood for 50 years and want something that has a warmer wood feel and not thin/hollow/tinky feel to it. Whatever I get I'm thinking of trying a Zan medium tip on it. I've used Kamui black/clear super softs for years.
I'd be interested in anyone's opinion that have used these shafts.

Thanks.

If you have used wood for 50 years, you should look at the Becue Prime II shaft, most people who have used wood for a long time the number one complaint when going to CF is the shaft feels dead, what they mean is there is no feedback, the Prime II shaft has the perfect blend of feedback and transfer of power of Your stroke, CF shafts transfer power more efiiciently than MOST wooden shafts, the problem is you can't look at a wood shaft and tell if it's going to be a good one where good CF shafts are designed to transfer power more efiiciently, cheap CF shafts are tubes filled with foam, check out Becue's website and look at the technology section, their shafts are so smooth I haven't even played with a glove since last April, they even build near 13mm shafts if you like the feel of a bigger shaft, good luck in your CF shaft search, Becue billiard products are built in Italy.
