Predator doesn't even make a standard 12.5 shaft or 13 check their web site, check your facts !!!
Neither does OB make a standard 12.5 or 13 shaft, check their web site, check your facts !!!
I took mine down to 12.75 and liked it better. Six months later I took it down to 12.5 and I like it even more. No intention to go any further at this time, though, the thing feels perfect in my hand now.
I have purchased both 12.5 and 13mm Predator shafts. At the time they were "standard" sizes. The 13mm was called the Fat Cat. Both of these were several years ago, so they DID make them. Perhaps they have changed, or were discontinued, but my facts were correct as far as when I purchased them.

Your talking about the Predator Fatboy shaft which was 13.2
Have tried everything from 11.6-14
Many years 12.6 was my go to, but as I have grown wiser in my play, and do less unnecessary movement with the cueball 13.2 is where my happy place is

Yep... That's what recently happened to me.
Decided to go back to a 13 type pro tapper
& you're spot on about unnecessary movement.
Rather than just follow the 12 craze, I agree
some should test what works best for their
game and not some pro or advertisement
based on popularity.
I use a z shaft 11.75mm
+/- 13.25mm seems to be what I always come back to -Josh
I start at 13... over time the shaft gets smaller from having it cleaned and stuff... but I start at 13.
I voted 12... But I actually play with an 11.75mm
Agreed -- that's what I play with (OB [Classic] Pro). I play snooker and 3-cushion as well, so the straight taper and smaller tip felt natural to me. (In fact, 3-cushion players that try my cue, exclaim "hey, this is a 3C cue!")
Whenever I go back to a "normal" shaft size & taper (e.g. anything above 12.5mm and with a pro taper), it feels like I'm shooting with a broom stick or extremely large dowel.
