Change Playing Shafts for Different Tables.

[sightline]

What are your recommendations for "changing playing shafts with different tables"?

Thanks.

None, you'll play better if you get used to using the same shaft on any table.

From what I know, the top players will frequently change their shafts based on table condition.

Can you share more of your knowledge about what u said? I am thinking about buying another extra shaft. Thx.

Oops didn't realize this was in the carom billiards section.

For example, I believe that Torbjorn Blomdahl will practice on a table before a match and will practice making very thin hits. If he is having too much difficulty, he will try a different shaft with either slightly more deflection or slightly less deflection based on the difficulty he is facing. Does that make sense?

Not to me Jim.

Sorry, Bert. Only expressing what he told me.

Not really Jim. You mean he uses a different shaft with a different tip diameter?
