A friend has a Z2 shaft on a meucci butt and I'm thinking of getting a similar shaft for my Meucci. I tried his and it hits very sweet but I've heard concerns that LD shafts have a limited lifespan and that mismatched cue parts won't play as true as a full Predator stick.

I don't like the heavy price for a new Predator stick when $250 can get me a new Predator Z2 shaft. Will I get short changed just getting the shaft?

For context, I'm an APA 6, BCA 7

Edit: Follow up, should I skip the Z2 and go for the Z3?

You should also try the Meucci "The Pro Shaft". I used to play the predator Z2 and 314. Once I tried to Meucci pro series shaft I never went back.

Sometimes 11,75 mm tip is too small for average player. I played 3 years with a Z2, now I'm using a Tiger Ultra X shaft with a 12.75 mm tip. In our area everybody who played with a Z2, changed it with a thicker shaft.

I just bought a Z2 from Seyberts on sale PM'd. At the level I play would not be able to tell the difference between a 2 or 3. For the cost of 3 I'd buy a new cue instead.
Limited life span.? Take care of it....... should last a lifetime.
