I’ve played the original predator 314 since 1994 (around this era). I still have the same cue and shaft I’ve played with back then. It’s Schon stl10 with the original predator shaft.
I quit playing pool in 2002 for family reasons and recently found myself back into it. I’ve been back into it for a year or so and been looking at Shafts. I bought a new 314/3 and a Z2.
The 314/3 was nothing like my original 314. In fact it was so different I didn’t like it all. The Z2 shaft was very close to the original but I’m not so sure I like the smaller tip.
I’ve always disliked how the original shaft worked with top right or top left spin. Felt I lost too much control.
Where I live I can’t try Shafts so it makes it challenging to try before you buy. I’m interested in trying as many as I can but hoping you guys might be able to guide me in the right direction. Thinking maybe OB Shafts. Or read about a guy that does custom Shafts that are LD. Forget his name as I type this.
Any help is appreciated.
