People have been saying that about the Revo 12.9 vs. 12.4. I don’t really believe it until I see something other than claims made on AZ, especially since the one thing we know for sure about deflection is that lower end mass = lower deflection, and the 12.4 tip should have lower end mass than 12.9. It could be true that the 12.9 has lower deflection than the 12.4, but most people “measure” deflection by taking a couple of shots and then making a grand pronouncement.
Yeh it could, I mean you never know until you know. I've only seen 1 video which was from Dr. Dave comparing the REVO 12.4mm to 3 other shafts. I've never disagreed with Dr. Dave's assessments, and even though he just uses a stroke for comparison, I have to believe his video is correct (and do).
I'm not trying to imply that you have to know weight, deflection, or any other numbers to play, but some people like to know these things. But making excuses for wanting to know these numbers is kind of ridiculous in the year 2020. You'd think that since it takes such a minimum amount of effort to find these numbers that the manufacturers would put them up themselves. If nothing else at all, it would give people things to debate and compare which would generate clicks (and considering the state of pool, that couldn't hurt). What's the excuse at this point in time for manufacturers not putting up numbers? Too cheap? Too ignorant (if so, which party)? Too uninterested in the product? It makes me frustrated that if I want to find out about the specs of any other player objects in any other game I can... but not pool.
