CF has no bearing on performance .... just people chasing the pros and what they do
if someone really wanted to... they can take a house cue and play better than most at any given poolhall
Savannah “The RoadRunner” Easton using a wood shaft?

What pool hall do you play at that maintains the tips on those house cues?
That's the big reason people buy their own cues
No one here is arguing that the CF shafts make the player better.
The endless string of "arrow and indian" type comments is tiresome.
Someone please quote the post in this thread in which it is posted that they are now running more racks with the CF than they ever could with their old maple shaft.
Everyone who has made those comments is free to come to TN and I'll play you with my CF shaft, then my solid maple shaft.
I'll bet the scores will be nearly identical in the long run.
The point CF users have been making has been consistent, but tragically flying well over your heads every single time.
To the contrary, the OP must own a lumberyard because most of his content is about wood being better than CF.

obviously i mean putting a damn tip on it (you cant play without one)... lmao
what i mean to spell it out for you ..... a house cue can play just fine all these expensive ass cues is more or less waste of money
And now... back to reality...

right .. im sorry you didnt know a tip was needed .. lolAnd now... back to reality...
If it were possible to play as well with an off the wall stick, everyone would be doing it... yourself included. Occasionally you come across one that is straight, smooth, and a good tip, but it's not common.

i do and can .... you are not going to be a world beater (most are not no matter what they shoot with) .... but it is possible to take a cue with a good tip and play just fine with it. i know guys that play fantastic that would go and pick up a certain house cue (beat to hell) and go play with it. played lights out above avg and could hold their own with most anyone.

my argument is ... CF shafts ... LD shafts and all this sh1t to sell you something way over priced is really a waste of money.
New to capitalism?
I noticed this as well. There is a reason she did it. We just don't know the reason why.

Nope ... im just a realist ...
Wants vs needs ..... iif i dont need it i dont want it ...
most people are .... wow you talked me into it .... let me throw my money at you
What of that cue wasn't available? Why do they pick a CERTAIN one instead of just using any ol cue?

im done lmao ... you can what if all you want to about anything .. your missing the point
I get the point just fine. You admitted the cue does make a difference. Otherwise they would just grab any ol cue. Stop worrying about what other people use. Even if they don't play better. It's their money.
I would like to see a pro tournament where all the pros picked a bar cue off the wall. When you meet your opponent, you have to trade them cues! Then play away!
The only people knocking carbon fiber probably just can't afford it. I'm sorry you are poor. Nobody is saying it makes you play better! Play with whatever you like unless your broke then play off the wall.

Do what works for YOU!
Never said wood was better than cf. Ever.
I only point out that cf ISN'T better. Not the holy grail.
They (any ld of either) both play just as good as their user.
I only preach that cf isn't going to make a player better.
But any ld shaft definitely helps make shooting easier imo.
If I had a dollar for every idiot that went straight from a high-deflection maple shaft to a low-deflection cf shaft and then told me "it's the cf that makes the difference...."
It's not the shaft's MATERIAL that makes you better dumass, it's the low-deflection.
My wood, $360 Vantage shaft has the same low-deflection as my (tried for 6 months) $500 12.9 Revo (now my break shaft).
I shoot better with my wood Vantage.
AGAIN, IT'S THE LD PROPERTIES OF THE NEW SHAFTS, NOT THE MATERIAL, THAT IS MAKING THESE BAR-BANGING IDIOTS BETTER!!!!!
