Looking for a better understanding of low deflection wood shafts versus carbon fiber.
As I understand it, LD wood shafts have a lower end mass allowing the shaft to deflect more and the object ball to deflect less.
Now the Carbon Fiber shaft is lighter with a low end mass but it’s very stiff and does not deflect much if any. As
I understand it this would allow the object ball to deflect more. So, how can both be called Low Deflection?
It seems to me that that the Carbon Fiber shaft would play more like an old fat wood shaft, if my understanding is correct.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
