Answer 3

Wood has a much better feel when you hit the ball. Fiberglass doesn't warp. I carry a walmart fiberglass in my trunk, but if I know I am going to play in a tournament, I bring my wood Meucci. Actually, for the price, the fiberglass is a much better buy. I only play about 2% better with my Meucci, if even that. I don't like the feel of the fiber, but it plays well. My advice: start out with a fiberglass. I used sandpaper to scuff the shaft and keep it from sticking on my hand. The shaft will look horrible, but it plays much better if it is sanded lightly. I changed the tip on my cheapy walmart. Go to a pool supply store and get the soft tip for about $1 and use that tip on your cheapy. It makes a difference. If you start winning a few "B" tournaments, you can then figure out if you like wood better.
