Don't be deceived...the shaft chips. This for me is the biggest downside to a carbon shaft. Because once it chips, I believe it cannot be repaired. It's unlike wood where you might still be able to take out the dents/dings...I bought one here (used) & the seller told me the cue was flawless. Well, guess what? It had a chip which you would not notice right away. It was too late when I saw it to say anything to the seller so I just sold it for a good price on ebay. The guy who bought it from me has relisted it for almost 2x what I sold it for. He's even using my photos for his listing.
Imo, the Vantage with a Predator medium tip is their best shaft as far as accuracy & LD properties go.
I wouldn't be deceived by this review. I have personally owned the Revo shaft for nearly a year now. I purchased the P3 that came with Revo upon release. I must say, it is the best shaft I have ever had. Ding resistant, warp resistant (Common sense usage) It's practically new still.
I owned the 314-3 and the Vantage - I absolutely loved the Vantage, but always felt the shaft itself was a tad heavy. Revo solved that, as it is lighter, and shoots even better.
About 8-9 months in, I would always think a "thinner" version of the Revo would be insanely awesome, and Boom - 12.4 has released. Anyhow, its a great shaft, only worth the price if you have the means, otherwise, Vantage shaft is a great substitute.
Soon as 12.4 back in stock somewhere (Authorized dealer who can also change tip) I will be all over it.
