Everyone is different before I took 14 years away from the game I played with an 11.4 maple shaft no issues after the time off my consistency in my stroke is lacking. A larger shaft will help with that but like tips, shafts are a personal choice that’s why I was asking others who have stepped up their thoughts but thank you for sharing your opinion
generally speaking a shaft wont improve your strokeEveryone is different before I took 14 years away from the game I played with an 11.4 maple shaft no issues after the time off my consistency in my stroke is lacking.

That is 100% true and I am not looking for it to help improve my stroke I am looking at it as a larger diameter to provide a little more forgiveness on my longer shots while I am getting back into it. My fundamentals are pretty solid my stroke however isn't as consistent as it once was from day to day so having a larger diameter shaft helps with some inconsistencies. There is a reason most pros now play with larger mm shafts. I just cannot get comfortable with the 12.5mm so I made this post to see what some have experienced with stepping up in diameter from 11.8mm to 12.2mm. Shafts like tips are personal that's why I don't just take 1 persons advice I like to hear testimonials and then apply it to my game and see what works for me.
Thank you for your input and no I am not looking for a bandaid. I spend 8hrs a day at the table I have a 11.8 and a 12.5 and I have tried to get comfortable with it, I just can't it feels to bulky in my bridge fingers, so 12.2 is a happy median, and yes mm's make a difference. Reality is larger shafts allow for more forgiveness there is a reason they are preferred but again its just something I can't get comfortable with so I am trying the 12.2 if it don't feel right it don't feel right. I changed shafts for the very 1st time since the 90's last year and even though shooting with the 11.8 and winning BCA World Gold Division this year I am not 100% on it. So maybe if you don't have any experience in stepping up in mm then just don't offer any input. Being back less than 2 years and already accomplishing that and playing on the WPBA this upcoming season I am happy with where my game is but that's not to say there isn't room for improvement. Best of luck to you sir and again thanks for your responses.
I've been playing much better lately with my Revo 12.9mm over the other CF shafts that I have that are all 12.5mm.
