More about Composite shafts
The lightest shafts are made of 100% carbon fiber. The disadvantage of shafts made of extremely light composite materials is that they are easily damaged by sharp-edged impact. For high-level competition racing, we recommend Force or Star, which are shafts built using a carbon fiber that ensures high stiffness properties (High Modulus Carbon Fiber). Weight, stiffness and balance are optimal in composite shafts. The Team shaft is somewhat heavier than Star, but is more resistant to impact. While Team is not as stiff as Star, the two are similar in balance properties.

Adding weight by replacing some of the carbon fiber with fiberglass has the advantage of increasing ruggedness. Although Carbon, Comp+ and Race are all strong and durable shafts, the additional weight reduces the balance properties compared to Star and Team.
