The Revo is about as close to no deflection as it is, I doubt you can do much more to it and still have it be playable.

I think he was being sarcastic???
Why? Pool cues don't have 'kick points'
Don't think so, I go by prior posts to see if what someone said may have been a joke.
They do flex at impact so I think making the shaft slightly softer in a section would get the CF shafts closer to wood feeling.
What you're pointing at is extremely subjective. No way to really measure 'feel'. The Cynergy, imo anyway, is as close to a wood 'feel' of any cf shaft i've hit. You start making it too flexible(or too stiff) and you can easily make it un-playable. I'd bet that the major cf shaft makers have spent plenty time getting this aspect of their shafts just right.

I'm sure the manufacturers of CF shafts know way more about them than anyone here on AZ. The thread asked what I would like to see in the Revo 2 and I answered. I don't like CF due to the feel and they feel too stiff to me.
There are some that already flex similar to wood, and IMHO I think that is silly goal for a CF shaft. If I want something that feels like a wood shaft, and deflects like a wood shaft, I'd just use a wood shaft LOL Cuetec, Meucci, really most brands, have a flex similar to wood, and I did not like any of them much.
I think how Revo and the Ignite feel like an actually new design is a good thing. OB Carbon is also a good one, but that is limited to stock on hand and also needs a bit of tweaking to get that pin insert correct on many of them.

I hated that sound. The blessing is I realised how good a well made maple shaft can be. That sound was one of the reasons to dive into wood. Never going back.Pingdon’t they make golf clubs
Different tapers
Blanks so that the joints could be custom fit (to my Schuler, for example, which has a much larger diameter
I like to think that my Revo is not a Gen 1 Revo since it’s different. Predator customized the amount of squirt.
My friend took his Revo to Eddie Cohen to fit onto his Ginacue. End result was the sweetest feel, no pinging whatsoever. Eddie said he didnt do anything special. He just fit it well. Mine doesnt sound near as nice.
FWIW.
Every once in a while I switch back to my OB, Z, or 314. Can’t stand wood anymore

I get why people like them but there is nothing like a crispy hit from some well-sorted maple.

One of the things aside from hit and feel I noticed is on muggy days playing in league with no air con my revo was grabby. CF is suppose to stay slick regardless of conditions.
My wood shafts especially my mezz with a nice coat of wax is much slicker and didn't grab even in very hot high humidity pool room.
for life for this guy.Or some space grade carbon. Looking forward to any changes or tweaks in the coming years. Interested to see what kind of changes happen. Being in the golf business I would say some new age carbon fiber with high tech foam that brings more feel but less deflection. Foam will be a big part of the next marketing message contributing to feel. Sound similar "more yards, better accuracy. It's a perfect match to take on that market line. It's big in golf irons and shafts are becoming really hot topics (think ventus) and how 30% of the tour is using it in some form or another. Brilliant marketing but it does work, hard to argue that.

I found it funny a month ago in the pool hall I’m using my Carbon shaft without a glove as I always do. Everyone else was with a wood shaft was using gloves.
It was one of the reasons it took me so long to switch. I thought if you used CF a glove was required

I was wearing a glove still grabby when it was really humid.
