I could go either way, and trust me I am an expert on shafts...I have seem them all. Back in the 80's I loved the feel of a nice wooden shaft. Then came these now shiny...hard...me tal shafts that everyone wanted. I find the bearings make a big difference. The all come with different quality balls inside the bearing. I always found if you get a really good set of balls any kind of shaft will do.
And then there was the infamous single shaft, talk about the opposite of old & slow.
