Dominak worked for predator I actualy have one of his sticks that's a quarter sawed butt that I believe he had to stop making , predator came out with the exact same cue the next yr for over triple the price ,, good bang for the buck

I'm a tiger dealer and use and sell tiger shafts and cues all the time (locally).
they are made in the USA and are very high quality. Myself, I play with the X Ultra LD and on occasion the Ultra (Which is closer to the play of a good maple shaft).
I cannot compare them to a MEZZ.... but they stand up to lots of other cues in Quality and Hit and Warranty.
Let me know if I can answer more questions.

Manny Chau, a pro who lives here in Texas is sponsored by Tiger, he prefers Tiger over predator. Compared to my 314-3 shaft the Ultra LD has a little more squirt but it feels very solid, the only thing that stands out that might bother some people is that it has a very audible ping sound. Now, the only two Mezz Shafts I'd play with are the Hybrid Pro II (I guess 3 because of the EX Pro) or WX900. If you can play with a conical taper at 12 MM and want less squirt than almost anything save the laminated 11.75 shafts, the the WX900 is the best shaft for the money, feel, or anything else PERIOD. The HP II is the only shaft I have played with that is solid at 12.5 mm and has close to the same deflection properties as a 314-3. Its also a lot more expensive.

Tiger Pro-X! Best Shaft on the market!
I love the Tigers hit!

Tiger's shafts do not have hollowed ends. In fact their ferrules are heavier and harder .
Mezz has hollowed end shafts.
Tiger hits harder but with more cue ball squirt .

I don't know which Tiger Shaft you are talking about..
But I have a Tiger Pro-X and a Mezz Hybrid Pro II, the mezz has twice the squirt! And hollowness is not a good thing, as is apparent from your post.
J/K! Tiger has never had hollow shafts that's why they hit so good. That's why OB quit hollowing their shafts, the whole hollow shaft deal is over! It's about radial consistence and a light front end. Tiger has both! At least the Pro- X.
I have tried all the shafts out there and I came upon Tiger 3 years ago, and nothing comes close!
Now when it comes to break shafts yeah, I use a Mezz Deep Impact Pro (Ash) and all my cues are Schons. Just cause people keep saying I'm a mole for Tiger!
Next to the Tiger Pro-X, I would put the Jacoby Edge before Mezz as well. As far as "Hollow cues" the only decent one I have is a BD360/2 but I think its his high quality would that does it.

3 months ago I was in market for a shaft to replace my Z2, because I want a thicker shaft. I found a seller with a Tiger Ultra X shaft and a Mezz Alpha Hybrid. I tried both shafts for almost 2 hours, and I choose the Tiger Ultra X, IMO it has a more natural feeling than Mezz shaft.
Both shafts are made very good, top quality.
I'll recommend everybody to try Tiger cues and shafts, if they are looking for good quality and play ability.

I had a Mezz "sneaky." Very impressive cue. I regret selling it.
Hmmm, I don't imagine Manny would have that sponsorship long if he said differently! lol
I'm glad you did.
