Jim Pierce bowling alley shaft.
A used anything for under $200 shouldn't be hard. OB Classic +, Tiger X LD or a 314-2 but it might be harder to locate. I think the ss360 is very similar to the Tiger, just my opinion, I've had both.
Really, IMO< they all play about the same if the tip diameter is the same, putting feel of the hit aside. You get used to the slight differences in a week or less.

Used oB is like 150 or less. That's my vote. Hell predator 3rd gens are 200 or less for near mint.
good suggestions thus far

SS360/2 is one of the best LD shafts out there .
Does it have to be an LD / Laminated shaft? Are you not happy with the shaft that came with the cue?

Ss360/2
Just got my SS360/2 and I'm very happy with it! Of course it's all subjective, but I like the hit better than a Predator... Can't speak for the HXT though.

HXT skinny
I play with the HXT skinny shaft now and like it. I have been considering trying out the SS360p after hearing alot of good things.
I picked up the HXT skinny brand new for 120$ to see if I liked LD shafts and wanting a smaller diameter tip. It has grown on my after mainly playing with 13mm standard maple shafts my whole life.

Ss360/2
I switched from a Predator 314/2 to the SS360/2 on my predator 8K-3 and feel much more comfortable.
As said above, it's all subjective but I have not used my 314 in over a year. I also recently had an SIB medium tip installed which I also like.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone have experience with the HXT Skinny vs SS360/p vs Katana 2? I like the small diameter, and also a pro-taper so these three are kinda the only options. I have the HXT Skinny now, just curious as to how much better they can get? FYI, I both love and hate the Kamui Black soft...
