Higher deflection Revo/CFs

[CavinTan]

Hello, was wondering if anyone has experimented with the internal ferrule construction on CF shafts to increase the deflection such that it's similar to a convetional shaft? more specifically those CFs without a long ferrule such as (cuetec,meucci) , looking more to modded revos.

i know some pros have their revos custom made by predator to have a much higher deflection/ to play like a conventional shaft. (revo +40%)

any insights will be helpful thanks.

This thread D/N have the newest shafts, but covers some of what you are asking about. IIRC, the Meucci is closest to a conventional shaft but still LD.

My experience with 7 carbon shafts so far

I have recently started playing with carbon shafts. Here is my opinion, hopefully it will help some of you out deciding. Jacoby Black Uniloc - Did not feel as good as the radial. Had more of a ting, similar to the revo sound. Joint diameter was .847 instead of .840 like most your uniloc shafts...

Predator makes a standard defl. Revo. Look in their carom shaft selection. https://www.predatorcues.com/usa/pr...bon-fiber-3-cushion-carom-billiard-shaft.html

admin, please move to "ask the cuemaker" section thank you.

I wouldn't try ANY modifications in attempt to increase deflection. One, you void the warranty and Two, could ruin how it plays.
