I just wanted to ask for some of your opinions on these cues. I've heard lots of good things but wanted to hear from you AZers

Thank you for your time.

i played with a mezz for about 3 years. no complaints the cue hit good and took couple of stressful hits and stayed straight and still hit good. i still have my heart set on a mezz ta-3

They play like a schon but with a softer hit. The hit is also super solid. If you get one with the metal joint it is only a thin metal sleeve wrapped around wood similar to a schuler.

I don't think you will regret buying one. I have owned three. Do allow youself to explore it for a while once you get it.

They are very well built and good player cue.

The high end Mezz cue are name Exceed. You might want to check that out. Put on with a medium moori and it ping nicely.

Im still looking for one Exceed EXD model. EXD is a dual core cue unlike mine which is quadro core and it play real stiff and control is excellent. Dual core play just nice, like some SW cue.

They have standard shaft, Hybrid pro and hybrid pro 2 shaft for you to choose from.

Hybrid pro is somewhere between a 314 and a standard shaft.Hybrid pro2 is something like a 314 but allow you to draw back sharper or narrower.

I play with a standard shaft and it make nice sound to my ear.

Most mezz comes with UJ joint which is a 5/16-14. and it is tight when you screw and unscrew it.

My cue comes with a Wavy joint. It is something between a radial 3/8-8 and a 3/8-10.

Mezz also comes with an extension which can be very helpful at time.
I hope this help.

The first one I was given to mate a Predator shaft to, the ss joint collar fell off in my hand. The cue was brand new. That was enough for me.

tried 3 of the new series 2 weeks ago .. and was very impressed...

the new hybrid shafts can do some pretty incredible stuff.. way ahead of the predators, in my opinion.... ( and i do own a predator )

if you go for one of the higher end ones, you will not be disappointed ...

their break cue is another story.... too damn short for my liking...

What the reason to mate it? the predator shaft can go directly in to a Mezz cue. They have the same size joint collar.

I played with a discontinued zz-01 (hybrid I shaft) for more than 5 years....the cue hit stiff and real great. I don't think you would go wrong with mezz as a production cue.

i have hit with the new mezz jump cue last night and it was great. im planning to buy that piece of jump cue and im starting to save money right now

Their power break cue is also a solid breaker. Good pricing for what you get. I haven't had the chance to shoot with any of their other cues but I have also heard nothing but good things about them. I really like their ZZ-10 model!

I haven't tried one yet. But I seen Efren Reyes jumping with one during the WPC 2007.

Im happy with my Fisher jump cue. If I do get a chance to try one and if it is good i might go for it.

yeah that's what i had on my mezz. they make a predator shaft that matches with the mezz perfectly. they even have a line of cues that come with the 314 standard

Will a standard 314-2 shaft with 5/16 x 14 threads, directly from Predator, fit the Mezz?

Thanks
