R Warrior vs F Warrior vs C Warrior — Which One Is For You?
Same diameter, same price, same joint support. What separates them is not discipline but taper geometry and feel.
Short version — All three Warrior shafts are made from the same material, in the same tip diameter range (11.9 – 12.2 mm), at the same price (413 €). What separates them is not discipline but taper geometry and the stroke feel that follows from it. R gives the firmest, most direct feedback; F balances control against flex; C transfers energy most directly.
The Three Geometries
R Warrior — Full Eiffel Taper
The shaft thickens from the impact point rearward on a full Eiffel angle. The result is the same angular sensation on every stroke, giving repeatable performance and high stability. The hit is firm and crisp — feedback arrives direct and unfiltered.
- Weight: built to any weight you specify between 105 and 160 g
- Character: Maximum precision, stable delivery, professional-level control
- Suits: Players with an aggressive style who want a firm, clearly defined hit
F Warrior — Half Eiffel Taper
The Eiffel angle is halved. The shaft behaves with a smoother transition through the stroke, damping vibration and returning a more fluid signal. This is the model that balances control against flex.
- Weight: built to any weight you specify between 105 and 160 g
- Character: Balanced, fluid feel with a high degree of cue ball command
- Suits: Players who play for precision and control and prefer a softer, more even sensation
C Warrior — Conical Taper
The classic profile: a steady, continuous taper from end to end. It transfers energy directly with minimal loss and gives a firm, defined sensation at contact.
- Weight: built to any weight you specify between 105 and 160 g
- Character: Direct power transfer, sharp control, fast response
- Suits: Players who want a firmer, faster, more immediate shaft and like the classic conical feel

Discipline, or Feel?
The question we are asked most often is "which one for carom, which for pool?" The honest answer is that these models are separated by stroke feel, not by discipline. All three are produced in the same tip diameter range, so all three accept carom and pool tips alike, and all three support every joint type.
What your discipline actually changes is the tip you fit rather than the shaft: carom generally calls for a firmer tip, pool for a slightly softer one. Choose the shaft by asking a different question — what kind of feedback do you want from your stroke?
Choosing in 30 Seconds
- Want firm, crisp, unfiltered feedback? → R Warrior.
- Want a smoother transition and a fluid, balanced feel? → F Warrior.
- Want energy delivered directly, with a sharp and fast response? → C Warrior.
- Still undecided? Settle the weight first, then hit your two candidates. Shaft weight moves the balance point and changes your stroke timing — that is not a decision you can make on paper.
What You Specify When Ordering
All three are built to order. You set the length, the weight and the tip type; if you do not specify a tip, a Gorina M is fitted as standard. Full specifications and current pricing are on the product pages, and you can talk it through on WhatsApp before deciding.
