carbon fiber shafts

I was thinking the same thing because there has been at least 30 Revo and Becue threads minimum.
Hey, who's this new mexican 9 ball player, cesar morales?? Anybody seen him play?
He doesn't use those LD shafts, the ball doesn't go where he aimed it
I heard they're black.

Just like those fiberglass laminate shafts did when their fad arrived right?
Pool is a beautiful game, carbon shafts are ugly. They will peak and wane.

Lol, right. Just like persimmon drivers are coming back and replacing the metal and hybrid drivers right?
It's called progress, you can't stop it.
I just recently switched to a revo from a southwest and while I'm definitely struggling to get used to it, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The idea that I can just line up a shot with center ball and parallel shift to add English is taking some getting used to but no one will ever convince me that it won't be a more effective way of aiming once my mind gets used to it.
Plus, and this is the reason I switched in the first place, no more dings! Ever.
I dont recall the OP being so clueless until lately. Maybe Justin stole his login info.
I mean after all these years not knowing anything apparently, why do you suddenly want to know? Something wrong here.
Ok, will do, and when you figure out how to get a wood shaft to get to just about zero deflection, and no dings, you let me know
Steel Stix were selling like hotcakes back in the 80's. I believe they were some sort of composite over the maple shaft?
You could bang em on the edge of the table without fear of putting a ding in the shaft.
Not sure what happened to them?
Revo seems to be a stepped up version of this concept. Many players are switching and love them.
Time will tell if they are just a fad or the wave of the future.

They must be selling pretty good, seems none of the big names suppliers have any. Imight be interested in one if they come out with a 30" version, heard it wouldn't happen anytime soon.
Alex,
To tell you the truth, I'm amazed that I stayed with carbon fiber after first starting off terribly with one. I was playing with a Tiger Pro X shaft then switched to BeCue. The carbon fiber shaft was so alien it was like learning the game over again. Then after a few weeks it started clicking. It took a month or two to feel 100% confident with it.
It's been about a year now and the old wooden shafts feel odd to me. I feel the added vibration and hear the noise. There is no absolutely no doubt I'm playing better with the synthetic shaft. Can't wait to try different models.

That's apples and oranges, lack of dings don't make you play better.
I'm not ranting for like or dislike of Revo shafts, but saying they are the future because of no dings is pretty specious reasoning. They don't play "better" and don't help the player perform better. You still have to adjust for the amount of squirt regardless of what shaft you use.
