I still don't believe that those little "mini" ferrules they're using on cf shafts will change how they play. Not enough to notice in play. In your head, oh yeah, no doubt. Until i see an accurate A/B test of a ferruled vs. non-ferruled cf shaft i'm sticking with my thoughts.
Like myself, believe what you want.
As for the ferrules not making a difference, well, again, believe what you want.
Can "your game" detect the difference? I dont know.
Can "my game" detect the difference? You damn skippy.
If it didn't change it, don't you think predator would have put a ferrule on the original? YOU DAMN SKIPPY....they would have.
Now, is there a way to put a ferrule on without causing ill effects? I believe there is, I just believe they are saving it for the "NEXT" big "WE GOT IT NOW" sale.
Again, I can tell a pretty big difference. Maybe you can't, I dont know.
Bottom line:
It dont matter as long as it dont matter.
