Hi guys,
I started pool a good 12 years ago, but stopped about 9 years ago. I recently came back into the game and after getting my stroke and all in check I realized that deflection is a huge issue for me when using my Prather cue and the standard maple shaft it came with. It's not that I cannot adjust, it's just that the deflection isn't consistent. So I've been toying with the idea of getting a LD shaft, but the joint on my cue is a 3/8 x 11, so it's not a common joint. Managed to narrow down to this 3 shafts in the topic. I don't really like the dead and soft hit, so that's why you see I have the classic and pro from OB for comparison. Looks isn't a key thing to me, I'm more concerned about getting lower deflection, accuracy and consistency. If anyone out there has tried these 3 shafts or any of the shafts and would like to contribute some feedback it would be great!! Also, can someone share what impact would a different tip size have in terms of deflection and also playability? Thank you all in advance!
Regards,
Jameson Chin
