My P3 came uniloc radial so if that's the case, it might actually be why I enjoy it so much (also my liking of thinner butts.)

According to the P3 specs on Predator website, the P3 butt is thick.
If you consider it thin, I don’t want to know what their thin butts feel like…


P.S. from what I remember hitting a few balls with a P3, it did feel on the thinner side, so I guess it’s all a matter of perspective

I have a Meucci cue with a black dot shaft, and I also have a 314-2 shaft for the same cue. I don't remember there being that much difference between the two, but it's been so long since I picked them up (maybe as much as 20 years), that my memory may be off a little. Maybe I'll dig it out and give it another try.

They might have performed the same but the big difference is that with the 314 you could have just shoot with it as you grabbed it, while with the Meucci you had to align the black dot with the spin desired.
Too much hassle and just think of doing that under a 30 seconds shot clock…

A lot of players rotate the cue in the hand during the practice strokes, some do it unconsciously, just think all the things you have to deal with under the black dot restrictions.

Good Morning Everyone
