What type of shaft do you prefer. I thought it might be interesting to see the types of shafts people are playing with.
What type of shaft do prefer?

I have went back to playing with a solid maple shaft after years of playing with a laminated shaft. I am like you... I love the feel of a solid shaft but also want the lower squirt. I am wondering how many actually play with a standard shaft because they like the feel of a solid shaft over the laminated.
I have a Scruggs too.... Great player!
Mezz WX 700 for me. Before the Mezz it was an OB Classic+. Michael
Mezz WX900, kamui black clear medium.

Solid maple with a non-ivory ferrule, gets the job done for me with minimized squirt.
I used to play with a z2 but the new 314-3 has really surprised me. So far, it has gone against all the stigma of being a "dead, hollow" feeling shaft like its predecessor, the 314-2. It has a lot more feel and definitely feels more solid while still keeping that LD performance we all love. I currently have a Moori medium which i absolutely despise and will be changing it to a G2 soon. But even then, the shaft performs well. Next favorite shaft would have to be the Mezz WX-700, followed by the OB-classic.

Have played with both the Predator & OB but went back to a solid maple. Probably played a tad better with the LD's but just get too much pleasure from the the sweet feeling of the of a well hit ball with the solid maple. Fortunately my cue maker has a fantastic source of shaft wood and his taper is the best for me. Not all of his shafts are the milky white that many look for but there is a lot of good things to say about some darker wood even those that have "sugar." Hit is all.
hows the deflection in maple shaft? so much bad?
