Unlike their wooden counter parts carbon fiber shafts won’t warp in the heat or cold. They also won’t get dinged up when you’ve gone temporarily insane after a bad shot or had a few to many at the pool hall. Low Maintenance is probably the most convenient benefit of a carbon fiber shaft.

A low-deflection (LD) shaft has less “endmass“ than a regular shaft.

LD or low-squirt shafts have both advantages and disadvantages for different players.
