Gulyassy SPTX
Mike Gulyassy SPTX ("Strickland Pro Taper Extreme) shaft. LD qualities in a stock/solid shaft. It's the shaft Earl has been using for a while (I think he's still using it, not sure). Longest pro taper on the market, great balance between stiffness and action. Best shaft I've ever played with.

Honestly the one that works best for you.
I like my SS360 better than any other shaft I've used. Though Joss standard turned down to 12.75mm is a very close 2nd.

Looking for good feel stiff hit
Not sure how these hold up. There are too many videos on you tube of them breaking. Earl misses a shot, smashes his cue on the ground and....bam, broken shaft. I'd look for one that doesn't have a ton of videos of them breaking...
I still like the Predator 314 ^2 
If you have a nice custom, it probably already has a nice shaft. I personally LOVE my stock Keith Kustom shafts. I wouldn't play with anything else.
It's all personal preference. Hit a couple and buy what you like. I don't generally like mixing and matching shafts and butts.
best,

Good answer sir. :thumbup:
Where have you seen him break one? The videos on YouTube are of him breaking CueTech shafts. There are plenty of videos of him slapping the table and floor with his Gulyassy shaft with no problem whatsoever...I've had mine over a year with no problems, wouldn't trade it for anything.
Just pull the trigger on something already Prodigy :grin-square:
This is a very subjective question, meaning that the "best shaft" is up to the interpretation of each person.
You'll find some good reasons for why some players prefer or like some shafts over others, but ultimately it's up to what you like. I use a 314-2 and started out with the Lucasi Hybrid Zero Flexpoint. I'm actually looking into the OB Classics right now.

Well I'm just trying too find something idk I don't like my shaft it might be the tip its got super soft on it maybe a hard would make me likke it better idk but I'm trying too fig out if I wanna try one of those shafts
Totally up to you Prod. No one can tell you what is good for you.
One of my best shafts is on an EBay cue under 100 that I re worked.
The pool hall owner gave me a dark colored shaft with sugar marks all over with a European taper. Ugly and hits stiff.
I doubt anyone would like this shaft but to me, its great. Thats part of the fun, you experiment until you find the exact dimensions that work for you.
If you get something that you don't like, put it in the Sale forum and start over. Yes it can be costly, no one ever said this hobby is cheap.
Just my nickels worth as we don't have pennies in Canada any longer.
