How much more accurate are the REVO shafts?

Most often? My regular is a stock Tascarella shaft. Prior to that was the Schuler Regular Pro Taper.

My Revo shaft should be in my hands tomorrow , fit to my Gilbert (3/&-10). I’ve hit with the Revo many times over the last couple of years.

How did you get one for 3/8x10?

In order to be balanced in my opinion, I will say there is this guy in league that has a REVO and his game is clearly much better than before. It could be practice, but his improvement does intrigue me.

where'd you hear about 30"? I'd buy one right now if so. Hopefully it would be 12.4 mm

Heard they've been working on it for a bit,but having issues with it having the exact LD qualities as the 29". I guess with as many requests they get for it, they have to try.
 
Johnnysd...The Revo shaft has been offered in the 3/8x10 radial joint configuration for almost a year. It came out last year at the SBE. I've had mine for almost 2 years...1 year on the 12.4.

I don't think there's any way this shaft is going to make me a better player. It's just like when Predator first came out, opinions mean nothing without actual first hand knowledge. So, I'm jumping in to try it out.

I've always thought low Squirt shafts help to improve the learning rate for beginners and recreational players.

Not taking a stance for either side but there were a LOT of these at DCC this year. Not just the Pred. staff players either.

A radial and a 3/8-10 shouldn’t be confused with each other. A radial pin is a uniloc proprietary pin. It’s roughly a 3/8-8 ball screw. A 3/8-10 has standard V shaped threads.

The Mezz Wavy joint is closer to a 3/8-10 than the radial is.

Scott I would think you know better.. maybe a slip.

Radial and 3/8-10 are 2 different pins.. Especially the way predator uses a Phenolic insert on thier Radial shafts.

Wood one could/ may be able to screw 3/8-10 into the wood not always easy.

Best wishes bud....

I'm in the market for a more knowledgeable shaft that makes 5-10% better decisions when it's under pressure.



When is a company going to come out with that? I'll pay any price.

I have read good things about that shaft. I wish I could fine one to fit my OB. I don't wanna get rid of my butt and switch to Mezz.

Try wavy joint if it fits orelse just spend another few bucks to modify it to fit your butt pin

I read in another post that it would fit a 3/8 10. But I didn't really trust that.

I ll tell u that from my personal experience AND from all the wavy shafts that we fit on to 3/8 10 AND from the knowledge of my cuemaker here in Greece.....yes,it can fit....if pressed a bit...because the pin is a bit wider and the wood as u screw the shaft is slightly modified...but it’s not the right thing to do cause u may damage the insert of the shaft.the right thing to do is to go and modify it

A standard 3/8-10 pin will fit into a wavy joint tapped shaft. Even some of the modified 3/8-10 fit in the wavy joint shaft. I’ve put mine on my McDermott with no issues. What you can’t do is put a standard 3/8-10 shaft onto the Wavy pin, UNLESS you bore out the shaft slightly. This means you CAN fit a Predator shaft to your Mezz cue. You just need to know how much the threads need to be bored out.

I think you’re overselling it. I own one, and have played with one. They are good shafts, but they aren’t a magic bullet. I preferred the WX shafts to the EX and Hydrid.

No shaft is a magic bullet.the hp2 shaft is excellent so is the wx,it’s just a matter of preference and I am simply making my suggestion to this friend

Actually I rented one from a dealer and put about 100 racks of 9 ball 10 ball and straight on it. I thought it was definitely a stroke enhancer in terms if drawing the ball, however I didn't really notice the LD thing at all. I missed a couple shots early and after that I didn't notice any difference in aiming or the effect of squirt at all. I am at best a low A player so I miss a good amount but I don't remember missing because of not accounting for squirt, I missed because my belly got in the way, I sagged in my stance or jumped up. It felt whippy but not out of control, which I guess might be a function of the LD, but it also felt very odd with little feedback. I didn't like it. I could see that someone that wants a stroke enhancing shaft that plays solid, would like it, but I saw literally no change in accuracy to make me want one and did not like the feel. I used the 12.9 one on a Predator butt. Maybe I would like it better on my regular player but not an option. So my opinion was not uninformed

I have tried many LD shafts and never saw any improvement from any of them. I guess I just don't get it. FWIW, I am not a great player, and I am not Mike Massey but I have no issue getting good action and drawbacks from very stiff cues like my Lambros and Olney, and Treadwats I have had.

Have you tried Mezz shafts?wx , hp2 or ex pro?or even hybrid alpha that is not a very low deflection shaft?

croscoe...Well, let's see...I play with Samsara cues, all with the same fat radial pin, which the cuemaker told me was a 3/8x10. All of the shafts, including the OEM shafts fit these pins. Some shafts just screw into wood, some screw into a plastic insert. The radial Revo shafts have no such insert. I make no claims to being a cuemaker, but I think I understand joint sizes. To my knowledge there are lots of 3/8x10 pins out there...some with a skinnier screw, some with a fatter screw. I thought radial meant that the pin was fatter...which has been my observation. All you cue experts out there can tell me I'm wrong...and that's okay. When Predator asked me what pin I had, I told them 3/8x10 radial. I did not need to send the butt in to be matched up. It matched perfectly when I got it. Same with the the 12.4 Revo shaft.

Charlie...why should I "know better"? I teach pool, not joint screws. I don't think it makes any difference what joint configuration somebody plays with...it's the knowledge of how to use the cue efficiently that matters.
