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?
Comparison LD Wood/LD Fiber
- Thread starter Island Drive
- Start date
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...
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.

Not scientific at all but I stated im my revo banger perception thread that the draw shot was a weakness of mine and i can draw the ball a whole lot easier and farther with the revo I just bought. I.never could draw worth a darn before ....with any wood shaft I used.

This test could never be done without a high-precision stroke robot. Since we lack that, players have to rely on their own perception rather than empirical data.
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.
It's like a Stiff meter test, not a Stimph, like in golf. Have Iron Willie hit the same draw shot speed of all shafts and post results. This would be GOOD info in my book.
