I know there has been discussion on John's Patriot shafts. Has anyone used these as well as Raven's and can offer an opinion on how the 2 compare?

Ed,
I recently ordered some Raven excelsior shafts (8) and had the same problem.
The CPM range across the 8 shafts was over 14 CPM. I ordered an additional
8, and found the same variation. I was able to get 8 that were pretty
close, and I sent the other 8 back. I ordered Excelsior shafts earlier in
the year and did not have this problem. I believe that Tony at Raven told
me that they switched manufacturers on these shafts, and that may be the
problem. They were using Nippon, but apparently they couldn't get the
shafts from them at a consistent rate. Don't know who makes the shafts now.

I received three shafts today and was surprised by their specs.
Weight CPMs (5" clamp, 254g tip weight)
123g 277
123g 282
127g 289
This is a much greater spread than I would have expected.
(Raven claims it is the most consistent shaft for weight and
cpms it has tested)
Are these measurements normal for this shaft?
Thx,
