Hello All,
I am a beginner player of only a few months. I went from a No name Walmart cue to a McDermott G436 with G-core shaft. Huge difference in pocketed balls, consistency and control..
A few weeks later tried a 314-3 predator shaft and really was astounded. So I bought an Icon3-5 with a 314-3 shaft. Again a marked difference in pocketed balls, speed control and cue ball control (Still not good but that is me and not the equipment) Only had it about 2 weeks so far but love it.
With that being said and being a beginner pool player, will I see a big difference going to a REVO from the 314-3, as I did with going from GCore to 314-3,or should I wait until I learn the game better?
Interested in your opinions. Thanks.
Cheers,
Charles
Charles, keep the following in mind when you ask for advice about the should or shouldn't carbon fiber/laminated shafts........vs........ plain maple shaft::::
A LOT of people have paid a LOT of money for certain cues JUST BECAUSE "insert name here", made them.
Well, not all but MOST of those folks bought those cues as an INVESTMENT.
Example...... your a Ford dealer, I ask if I should buy a mustang or a Honda accord....what are you gonna suggest?....hmmm?....lol...
A FORD....of course!
Well, going from what I told you above....how are you gonna be comfortable with "anyone's advice"?
Lol
Having said that, it sounds like your not worried about value being stable, climbing or falling over time. If that's the case:
I would for sure gi with a CF shaft. Which carbon fiber shaft? Well, there's the rub. A lot of the CF shafts play similar but, some of them are very different.
If I were you, I would keep what I had for now. Upgrade "your game" some more and then, when the market is more customer friendly for CF shafts, I would at that point do more research and buy one of the brands.
At this point, the best "for me", considering PERFORMANCE only.....things such as:
DEFLECTION
POWER TRANSFER
CONSISTENCY
ETC...ETC....
is the revo 12.4.
Again, based solely on PERFORMANCE!!!!
I dont give a RAT'S A55 about:
SOUND
FEEL
LOOKS
RESALE VALUE
ETC...ETC....
All I care is, does the OB go in the hole and does whitey stop where I want him to? Simple....
