The Mighty Black Pro has been redesigned and reengineered to give players all of the benefits of composites, without sacrificing the benefits of the best metal shafts. At only 145 grams, the new Mighty Black PRO™ Pro is still incredibly light, but now it’s also incredibly stiff, with zero flex, giving you both the power AND consistency you crave out of a composite shaft. The carbon weave pattern shaves off weight and maintains incredible dent resistant strength. The new matte and pebble finishes provide grip, the traditional octagonal shape feels right in your hands, and the dark colorway lets the competition know you means business. Light, strong, and stiff. The Powell Mighty Black Pro is next level composite technology.
So this shaft is insanely light and stiff for the price point HOWEVER it chips like no other and when I drilled a hole for my duel, the screw ripped through the shaft. However, the whole I drilled was right between the two pre-drilled holes so that may have had something to do with it. This was an easy fix though, I simply drilled a hole in the front and filled the head around. That along with the chipping is what earned this a 3 star rating but if you are planning on using a normal head that will fit the pre-drilled holes and don’t care about the chipping, I would recommend this shaft
Rated 2 out of 5

*UPDATE*
The new screw I drilled for my duel is starting to rip through the shaft after a minimal amount of faceoffs. This is an incredibly soft shaft and would probably be fine if you are using it for normal attack and midi play, although DO NOT use this for faceoffs if you don’t want to have to replace it withing a season (due to the ripping)

I’ve had my Mighty Black for about a month now and have played about 8 games with it. I don’t normally play with Carbon Fiber because I don’t like the flex but I wanted to give this a shot. I did a few shoot arounds with it beforehand and I noticed it had the same stiffness as the alloy’s I had been using before but was noticeably lighter.
As far as the chipping goes, I didn’t notice it had anymore than the other carbon shafts I had used in the past. My only advice would be if you like a little more grip, go with the Dimpled version. If you like a smooth handle, go with Matte. One of the cool touches I did like was how the Powell name at the top of the shaft has a slight grip to it as well which is nice for one-handed cradling.
