Yes. I found the carbon fiber shaft I was using (Mezz) actually had slightly more deflection, and I did not like the feel or the sound of the hit. I did like the smoothness of the carbon fiber shaft and the ease of maintenance, but as I take very good care of my wood shafts and keep them very slick, that wasn’t a big enough issue for me to remain with the carbon fiber shaft.Interested in people's thoughts that used a LD carbon fiber shaft and moved back to either solid maple or a radial wood shaft. What did they not like about the CF shaft?
Thanks
I think older players and players who have played with wood shafts for decades have a tougher time adjusting to the different sound/feel of a carbon fiber shaft. For younger players who have switched to carbon fiber, I think there is much less adjustment to being able to get used to one.I had a Pechauer carbon fiber shaft and didn't like the feel and hit, of course very subjective matters. Then I tried a Revo (didn't buy it --borrowed it for a while), and found the same issues. Sold the Pechauer and went back to wood. I like the feel, the sound and the hit of wood. Very happy to have tried CF and absolutely nothing wrong with the Pechauer version. Just ain't my bag baby.
I prefer to be 'distinguished'.I think older players and players who have played with wood shafts for decades have a tougher time adjusting to the different sound/feel of a carbon fiber shaft.

Is that what you call it ?I prefer to be 'distinguished'.
Yep, 1 rack was enough for me.Interested in people's thoughts that used a LD carbon fiber shaft and moved back to either solid maple or a radial wood shaft. What did they not like about the CF shaft?

Test other CF shafts. I have three from different makers and they all hit a little different. I had to reduce my English by about a tip and concentrate on center cb when I don't want any English. My only adjustment from an LD maple shaft.ep, 1 rack was enough for me.
Little feedback.
Dull tinky sound.
Felt like the life was taken out of the cueball...
Same.Just as a note, for people who don't like the CF feel, you might want to try the Cuetec Cynergy. I'm a middle-distinguished-age player who played solid wood for 25 years and switched over pretty easily. I've noticed no one in this thread who disliked CF has said they tried the Cynergy and came back.
