I just received the same cue ( Thanks Ira). Although I currently don't play 3C, hopefully take it up sometime in the future, my thinking was that it would be a great cue for playing 8 ball/9 ball. After a couple of days of long practice, I am astonished how effortlessly it moves the cue and, IMHO, how little deflection it has.
I need to practice with it a little more, but not much doubt it will be my playing cue.
