TY, some people believe this product or that product will give you more power blah blah blah, I like CF, that doesn't mean I think wooden shafts are bad, they are just different, I saw an add touting a new shaft built for a Pro player that said "we went through 57 variations to get this shaft perfect for him, wouldn't you like to have his shaft?" I thought to myself, no. I wouldn't, Am I the same height and weight as this Pro? Do I have the same speed of stroke? Do I have the same length arms? Is my bridge length the same? I could go on but the point is this shaft was built for HIM!!! It's not going to make me play like him, this site is cool because you can find people who really try to help and give honest reviews of products and all things billiards, I hope my experience with these products will help someone try them or not based on what they believe is best for their game.
