When did CE change their shafts?

[Black Frog]

I had a dozen each of 200 and 300 size Carbon Express 3D Selects from 3 years ago and finally went to buy another dozen last night and they are totally different!

Different look to the carbon weave, different finish on the shaft (much smoother), less residue when preping them for fletching as well.

When did they change?

When they stopped making them in mexico and started making them in Korea.

Appx. 1.5 years ago.

They have improved quality control standards quite a bit since the shift to manufacturing in Korea.
