Revo or Z3 deflects more?
I'm still amazed how much people worry about people they don't know, spending money that's not theirs, using equipment that they don't.I watched some of her play in the Vegas tournament, looks like she is using a wood shaft now and shooting great with it.
She was using a Revo for at least the past few years. I don't know if it's a 314 or Vantage, but she seems to like it!
Nice to see yet another young star realize that wood shafts give better feedback.
Back-to-back Vegas champ, 22 year old Wiktor Zielinski, has always enjoyed his wood 314 wood shaft-- he shoots like the game is almost too easy for him!
I guarantee you that if it weren't for sponsorship money, the vast majority of touring pros would use wood shafts.
Again, to each his own in the cf/wood shaft debate: You think cf is better for you-- use cf.
But for those who still think cf is superior to wood for actually PLAYING POOL, it's not.
Carbon fiber shafts make great break shafts though, that's for sure.![]()
I know many people feel that the pros would use wood if it was their choice. I wonder why so many of the top local amateur players (700-750 Fargo) are using CF shafts over wood? Its their choice and I would assume they are using the equipment they feel they play the best with.I guarantee you that if it weren't for sponsorship money, the vast majority of touring pros would use wood shafts.

I'd imagine it's because to be that level you have to live and breath pool. Who doesn't want to try the newest tech? It's not that it's better, it's that it's new and people want to try it. It's durable so that's a plus. It's consistent.I wonder why so many of the top local amateur players (700-750 Fargo) are using CF shafts over wood?
I already own the custom cues. The cue maker has passed. I don't need money, so I'm keeping them at home -out of harms way.i feel the same way ... then realized if im not using those nice cues ... why even buy them
a meucci (**Any Manufacturer) or a plain sneaky pete cue will push a white ball around as good as anything else.
The durability appeals more to me. And I can see the constant climate change can be hell on wood shafts.I don't own any carbon stuff but can understand why pros use them; easy to replace, more durable, probably less likely to get sticky. Some of them travel overseas frequently to different climates. Playing here in Florida a few times a week with our 9 month summer I know my shafts get sticky from the humidity. I think Jim Wych was talking about that on the Vegas tourney stream.
Except for Torrified wood. My next purchase is a torrified shaft. The concept appeals to me, and I think its a alternative to CF for those of us that think CF isn't worth the expense at this time.The durability appeals more to me.

CF can get sticky/grime... thats why they make wipes ..... they do ding ... they do warp (CF is not a perfect material ) ... you do have to clean and wipe CF shaftsWhy does it seem whenever a pro/big name switches back to wood from CF it's getting away from a Revo? Has any pro rejected a Cynergy?
I like CF shafts for maintenance reasons. No glove, no grime, no dings, no warping, no smoothing/cleaning/constantly wiping it down. I can move balls around on the table without worry, and just leave it in my car if I happen to do that. I don't think I'm necessarily a better player other than this is also the first LD shaft I could stick with, and I think LD in general has helped my game.
They get dirty but they are easier to clean. I probably wipe the cf shaft with my shirt once/day. I have plenty of wipes but have probably used 4 or 5 in two years.CF can get sticky/grime... thats why they make wipes ..... they do ding ... they do warp (CF is not a perfect material ) ... you do have to clean and wipe CF shafts
CF is not always consistent in manufacturing
Better to say they are more resilient to these characteristics ....
definitely. I have the pechauer rogue and still wear a glove. They still get sticky. Pechauer recommends wiping them with a microfiber and a little bit of pledge furniture polish, which does slicken them up. My league plays on bar tables that are filthy ass dirty, so im sure that is 99% of my issue.CF can get sticky/grime... thats why they make wipes ....
