Rogue CF

sgengaro86 · Apr 9, 2020

I recently switched to a Rogue CF shaft from an LD maple shaft (Samsara TrueShaft). I love the way the Rogue plays but it squeaks through my bridge and is less smooth than I expected. Has anyone else experienced this? Any remedies?
Thanks

All my friends who play with CF use gloves, I thought this is the norms.

I also watched pro's who play with CF shafts, all of them also use gloves, I think you should do, or else go back to wood if you are like me, I personally don't like gloves which is why I'm sticking to wood and not going with the CF wave.

try this https://www.seyberts.com/pool-cue-shaft-care/cue-silk/

just a small single drop or two at most using a paper towel to apply it...

I use it on a Becue Prime M CF and it works great, and it last for 2 to 4 days before needing to be reapplied.

Clean it once every so often. Works wonders.

I have a Rogue - not quite as smooth maybe as the ridiculously smooth REVO, but very smooth, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing. I agree with trying a glove and keeping the shaft clean

Not dirty. It is brand new

Mostly this. I've never ever used or tried a glove. I'm a big guy and sweat a lot too while playing. After any night of play I do wipe the shaft with a silk cloth and will use alcohol wipes every week.

Wipe it down with isopropyl. You’ll be surprised what comes off a “new” shaft.

No squeaking on mine, maybe wash you hands real well, you use lotion a lot? They rant as smooth at the cynergy and Revo but I also like to use a glove so doesn't quite matter to me. But even with no glove mine is plenty smooth.
