Big difference in solid vs. hollow body guitars. Solid body are basically just a holding device for the pick-ups. The body itself has little to do with the sound.
lol careful with that can of worms there...

That would be the most accurate answer.
Another answer is a little more technical. A fiddle typically has a flatter bridge, making it easier to ride multiple strings.
And many fiddle players prefer steel strings to synthetic.
(But the best answer IMO, as to the difference between a fiddle and a violin is nobody cries if you spill beer on a fiddle.)
tennis is not pool........... just hard maple for me

I was a bit harsh, I admit. CF has its place. Just not on a cue... :thumbup:
You can't just go half way. If you are going to choose a cue based on this you need to wear a suit and bow tie on league night.

Nothing wrong with CF shafts. It makes a great CueHorn
A person could do worse...
Big difference in solid vs. hollow body guitars. Solid body are basically just a holding device for the pick-ups. The body itself has little to do with the sound. I took a tour of Gibson one time and that's almost verbatim what they told me. Hollow body is a totally different animal 'cause the top and the back flex and can change the sound. I had a friend that made a guitar out of a laminated chopping block and it sounded pretty good. He bought a neck and used old humbuckers. As far as tennis rackets go, i used to play a LOT when i was younger. Composite rackets are lighter, stiffer and when made in mid or jumbo sizes greatly increase the trampoline effect on the strings. Also, the sweet-spot on the larger rackets is waaaaay bigger than on the old smaller ones. Its hard NOT to hit a decent shot with a modern racket.
And most do.
I would like to see some evidence that anyone's fargo rating increased by simply changing to a CF shaft, or an LD one for that matter.
Doesn't have to be scientific I would settle for strong anecdotal evidence.
Let's hear the stories.
I have my doubts truthful ones exist.
Count me in for straight hard maple.

I asked quite a while ago what Carbon Fiber shafts do that my wood shaft can’t.
...one reply was “durability”.....so I mentioned my ‘68 Joss...still original....
...that stopped that approach.
I’d also be worried about a carbon tax in the future....
...’course I guess I should be worried about termites with my cue........

Do you use a jump cue? Wimpy would be WAY more against the jump cue than a non-wood shaft
