Why are people against Predator cue`s & Low Deflections shaft?

[Bob Callahan]

It seems they would rather attribute their crushing loss to equipment and not that their opponent was a better player.

Human nature....

It amazes me that those who are in love with their Predator or other low deflection aftermarket shaft can't understand that some people just don't like the way the aftermarket LD shafts play.

There are many logical reasons for some people to not like LD shafts.

Is that bad? I have been playing pool for many years(from I was thirteen to twenty three or something, almost every day, and from thirty to dd).
I am not sure how to rack my self(against you in here at azbilliards), but I think I am good amateur pool player.

From eighteen to twenty three, I was playing with McDermott M53G Red Panther Pool Cue , I think it was OK cue at that time.

And have been playing with Predator P3 w/ Z2 Shaft since last year, and must say it is properly best cue I have ever tried.
I have tried some McDermott, Mucci`s and Fury(I have Fury DL-2 QR as well), and some other cheap cue`s(properly not compare with these "better cue`s" anyway).

Because they cost too much for just a production cue. Johnnyt

In one of the tournaments I play there is typically 25 people give or take a couple.
The field is comprised of few masters, majority are A players with a handful of B’s and 1 or 2 C’s.
I would say 80% - 90% of the field uses some kind of LD shaft.

That's because LD shafts offer advantages to many people.
