While practicing for last weekend's tourney, the Kamui tip came off my cue and my local repair guy was unavailable, so i had to borrow a friends 2nd generation 314 shaft (since it was a uni-loc and would fit my Lucasi). What luck, just 2 days before the tourney, eh?
I've had the same Lucasi cue and shaft for over 10 years now. I've never even shot with a 314 before, as I was previously adamant about not wanting to relearn how to aim when using English. however, I had been curious as of late to see if it would be easier to make that adjustment, since my switch to using back hand english a couple years ago.
My friend came by at 1am to bring his 314^2, so that I could have one evening to practice with it before the tourney. After an hour of two of practice i noticed i had been missing fewer balls. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it was real or imagined.
I ended up playing pretty well during the tourney, i really don't remember missing too many shots. So...now i'm forced to consider getting a low deflection shaft.
In looking at predator's shaft comparison, I can't help but wonder if there have been any similar studies done between other low deflection shafts. Is anyone here aware of such a study who's results are available online?
