GoCustoms is only $399. More decisions.The Custom Revo will be around $600 (the low deflection is a huge selling point).
The Rogue is $475 out of the box.

But how is the deflection vs these two???
Not enough to worry about. I know three people who've switched to the Go and they love it. They all deflect some buts its not much.But how is the deflection vs these two???

Well said.Deflection amount matters much less than how you can play with the shaft. 0 deflection won't necessarily make people pocket more balls. There is probably 20 times as much missing from just flaws in mechanics and not hitting the cueball or object ball where you thought you were aiming than missing because someone did not adjust for deflection once a person gets past beginner levels.
Hunting after deflection levels in shafts is like buying a car based on numbers on a page. oooo look, 5.4 seconds to 60 instead of 6. Then next thing they are in a ditch because it's a rear wheel drive car with no traction control and they side sideways off a road.
Seriously great and valid points.Deflection amount matters much less than how you can play with the shaft. 0 deflection won't necessarily make people pocket more balls.

Can you get a rogue? They keep delaying them.

Of course that's much easier said than done.

If the price of the Revo is kinda high for you then maybe take a look at the new Defy shaft from McDermott. It is very low deflection and very low vibration too. I had the prototypes for a weekend and they were very good to hit with. Getting spin was effortless. It's $395 out of the box. This might give you another option for a CF shaft.
The reason why the shaft felt rough was it was a prototype and the shafts for sale will be a lot smoother. That is how it was communicated to me. But it is a preference thing so you have to go with what feels better to you.
