I really like the WX700 shaft. It's the only shaft I tried and don't care to try any others. Just last week had a friend of mine put a Zan Hybrid Max on for me, the hit is great. I'll never play with anything else.

I like the 700 better than the 900.

taper and diameter of the 700 will feel more familiar if you have been playing with a 314. I personally have the 700 and love it.

I have played with both and personally like the 700 better.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on a a Mezz cue this weekend. I have an option of the 700 or the 900 ~$35 difference.

I have never hit either, and was looking for some expert opinions on which one I should go for.

I currently am playing with a 314-2 on a predator sneaky pete.

Biggest difference is the 900 is 12mm and the 700 is 12.5mm, so I'm assuming the 900 will deflect a little less. I just recently purchased a Mezz Sneaky Pete series cue with a 700 shaft, after playing exclusively with Predator shafts for the past 20 years. Too early for me to tell yet, as I've only played with it once, but I loved the solid feeling hit as compared to the hit of any of the Predator cues.

I will say the Mezz 700 shaft did seem to deflect just slightly more than the Predator V shaft I've been using the past 3-4 years, and the Predator V shaft deflects a little more than the Predator 314-3 shaft, so one can summize that the Mezz 700 shaft does indeed deflect more than the 314-3 shaft. I don't really think it's a big difference - unless you are really loading up with max English and stroking very firmly. I can also say, based on only one session, I don't think the Mezz 700 shaft can transfer quite as much spin to the CB as the Predator V shaft. The verdict is still out as to whether I plan to switch from my Pechauer butt / Predator V shaft to the Mezz SP butt and Mezz 700 shaft permanently.

I recently switched to Mezz. I choose the Ex Pro. Probably should have tried the 700 first. I do have to say..., it’s a solid hit and feels better to me than my previous OB’s. Very low deflection. Really happy with this purchase.

Yeah, from everything I've read, I think I'll order an Ex-Pro shaft to go with my Mezz Sneaky Pete butt, and use the Mezz 700 shaft as a backup. Sounds like it may be the best LD shaft available on the market right now, although Revo users may disagree. I played a Revo for 6+ months, so I'd really like to compare the Mezz Ex-Pro shaft to the Revo shaft - hopefully a little better "sound and feel", which I could just never get used to with the Revo.

I have been using a BK Rush with the Revo. Not exactly something to shoot with. But I think you will like it. Give the Ex Pro a honest chance. You won’t be disappointed Pal.

I bought a Mezz EC7 cue in December and went with the WX700 shaft. My rational was simple - I have been playing with standard maple shafts (McD D-19 for the last 30+ years; original owner!) since I started playing 40 years ago. Never have had a LD shaft, and thought this would be an easier transition.

And it is! Love the cue; bought the 4” extender and play with it in all time. The amount of English I can hit with minimal deflection is pretty sweet.
