Has anyone posted results of ''draw'' tests when comparing one brand of shaft to another? Which shaft DRAWS your ball more, with less arm speed?
All you're testing is energy transfer efficiency, so you don't need to shoot draw shots - centerball shots (without an OB) and comparing travel distances is enough. But it's still problematic...Has anyone posted results of ''draw'' tests when comparing one brand of shaft to another? Which shaft DRAWS your ball more, with less arm speed?

I guess you could be sure you're hitting the same spot on the CB by checking chalk marks after every shot. But how would you be sure you're hitting with the same arm speed?

Just my feeling without trying to test anything.... When hitting below center for a draw the greater deflecting (more squirt) shaft will send the cue ball airborne longer than a lower deflecting (less squirt) shaft. When it's airborne longer the backspin stays on the cue ball longer and you'll get more draw.

I'm sure this is a tradeoff. Wonder which is the winner...Wrong. If the cueball bounces it loses some of its draw.
I am most curious to see comparisons at different speeds. Like, how much do these shafts deflect at 5 mph, 10 mph, 15 mph, and 20 mph? I expect CF to have more consistent results but I’m eager to see a scientific and independent study.
