Has anyone switched to a carbon fiber shaft, and then after giving it a long enough adjustment period, switched back? I am curious before I spend the money on a CF shaft. Deciding between Revo, Defy, and CueTec.
Thanks.

Yes.
I have all 3 but the Defy is not the latest generation. I too agree with skor on the Revo but a Cynergy would be a close second. The Revo is going to be the lowest deflection and the Defy is going to be closer to a wood shaft in my opinion. The older Defys had a coating that almost requires the use of a glove. The Cynergy is somewhere in the middle.
I'll caveat that with this: I have not shot with the latest generation of Defys, so I can't speak to how those are. They apparently fixed the coating issue or removed it so it should be a lot better now. Plus, if you have a first or second gen Defy, McDermott will swap it out for a third gen for $150.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I've went back to wood for a while but it's not forever. I have a Rhino shaft and I really like it a lot. I played with it for probably a year. I recently (3 months ago) switched back to my old McDermott with a wood shaft because I missed playing with it.
I will go back to my Diveney paired with the Rhino one of these days. The Rhino will fit on both cues but the McDermott is a little butt heavy so it doesn't feel as good with the CF.
Honestly I have very little trouble switching between any shaft or cue so it's not a huge deal. The CF is a bit different but if you keep the tip in a dime of the center and develop a stroke it really doesn't matter. There are a couple of shots that require throwing the CB that I can't do with the CF but they rarely come up, and truthfully when they come up you would probably be better playing safe anyway.
