I have a cue that came with 2 314-3 shafts i love the cue and I like LD shafts the 314-3 has proven over time to be my least favorite hitting shaft. I have tried the 314-3 on multiple cues pins and tips never like it I feel its due to the thick carbon fiber pad under the tip and I know this is part of there v tech technology and voids any warranty. but has anyone changed the ferule and maintained the LD properties while changing the hit. I am generally not a fan of any kind of fiber pads under the tip imo it makes a stiffer fake hit.there has been a few that hit good though.
