very interesting topic.
my cousin play with jerry franklin SW. assuming early date SW (didn't know much about SW)
had practice with it for good few hours.
i like the hit but did not quite like the balance.
kinda on heavy side for my liking.
i love the look of the cue very much as if i can...
it's musashi shaft isn't it?
my bro have one..
for me it hit solid the power is there.
the condition i am using is standart tip never been change since it is new.
i only notice small fraction of deflect.
