Shaft Weight Importance

That’s a grip issue.

It's a balance issue.

Balance point is a must for playability in my opinion thats where shaft weight comes into play. At 13mm a shaft should be at least 4.0z in my honest opinion, But I have a 11.5 mm shaft that is 3.45 oz, I wouldn't want anything lighter that that. Happy point for me would be 3.6-3.7oz at a small mm shaft.

You mean it isn't a grip issue? I agree.

Since the title of this thread is Shaft Weight Importance, I'm going to throw this in to the mix. My Revo weighs 4.3ozs. I have another cf shaft that weighs much less. There are several reasons why, but the Revo performs and feels much better.

There is more weight focused on the bridge, tip and cue ball (the business end) and a bit less weight on your stroke arm.

I do too, unless your shaft "tends to float off your bridge" with a normal balance point in front of your grip.
