The Predator 314 is spliced for radial consistency. They say the shaft hits the same regardless of orientation. The Meucci Red Dot shafts are solid maple and have a dot so you can always hit with the shaft in the same position for consistency.
I have seen great players who play with solid maple shafts who appear to not worry about this radial consistency issue. Is it really that important? I can agree that there could be sweet spots on a shaft, but does it really effect play? If you were used to a red dot shaft and someone handed it to you and your eyes were closed, could you shoot with it and tell if the red dot was in your normal position?
I am thinking about switching from a 314 to a Schon solid maple shaft because it feels better to me. I don’t care about the deflection thing. I can learn to compensate. But I am concerned about the radial consistency issue. Any thoughts?
As always, thank you all for your time.
