So, I tried my HP natural shaft out Friday. After 2 hours I had enough misses. At almost 2 hours, I also realized the table I was playing on was not level. I packed it up not to long after. How long did it take any of you to adjust to low deflection? I'll keep trying. The good thing is my other Joss shaft has the same joint collar and 12.5mm tip. Worse comes to worse, I can switch shafts to play another player.
