Jemo is right on this one. An airfoil is an airfoil, a weight is a weight. Granted CF is stiffer and more important cooler, but the fact remains that you or I wouldn't know the difference between woodies of CF blades. And if you did it might be the fact they are balanced better, but the stiffness comes in a degree later. What I mean is the fact that, how the H*ll can I judge blade performance when my recovery skills are still lacking? Don't get me wrong, all my blades are CF blades and I'm to lazy to balance and cover them. I'm still in what I would call the learning stage. Do what you need to do. CF blades do run better. Its your pocket book that decides. CF blades will not make up for your short comings or mine. Good luck and Merry Christmas
