CF carom shafts..............

[garczar]

Are any top 3c players trying/using carbon-fiber shafts? Seems like since they can be made any way you want that cf would be making inroads in caroms as well. Any thoughts or news on this??

Good question Garczar,

I saw Jeremy Bury play with this shaft. Have a look: https://twitter.com/kozoom/status/1173858211050471425

Thanx. I figured that Predator would be making a Molinari carom version of the Revo before long. Doesn't surprise me that Longoni is in the cf arena. They always stay ahead of things.

I am very impressed with Mcdermott for making carom cues. Not many large U.S. production cue manufacturers have offered a carom line. I can't speak for Mcdermott but I think they maybe open to making a CF shaft with carom players in mind. What better evolution can one envision when dealing with the larger mass of a carom ball than to have a CF shaft. One of the most open players to experiment with equipment is Gilbert Najm in my opinion. We are friends and he currently plays with Frederic Caudron's Longoni cue. I would like to have him experiment with their shaft and get his feedback if he hasn't already. Here is Mcdermott's CF for your perusal
