Mezz Ignite.
- Thread starter SandFox
- Start date
Mezz USA (mezzusa.com) and J&J America (jjcue.com), along with Seyberts are Mezz's largest US dealers, so if they can't help you, likely no one can yet. As there is no mention of this shaft yet on the mezzusa.com website, I'd guess they can't be ordered as of yet.
Mezz dealers were not allowed to advertise them ahead of the launch date, but off course an email from a customer with a pre-order is just fine for us (and I assume most others).

^ United is a joint type that Mezz uses in some of their cues. It is basically a tight fitting semi quick release 5/16x14 joint. United joint Mezz shafts fit on Schons for example.
Here is a link to a picture that shows the United joint up close. https://www.seyberts.com/images/products/preview/mshau.jpg

It's not a RADIAL.
From http://mezzcues.us/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39&products_id=293:
In fairness, I really like my Mezz alpha hybrid shaft, probably because it's most similar to maple and has some deflection (I'm old).
But can anyone explain "minifies", "gaps", and "dead lines" or is that all made up?
"Featuring the finest Japanese aerospace grade carbon fiber material coupled with the Ignite Composite Laminating Technology (ICLT), a new responsive front-end design and the vibration-dampening core material, the IGNITE 12.2mm shaft ensures a true natural feel and minifies deflection which eliminates inconsistencies when using spin. The ICLT eradicates unwanted gaps and "dead lines" that can occur during the manufacturing process providing accuracy for ultimate playability. Together with the Ignite constant pro taper, this shaft delivers a smooth, stable and powerful feel after each shot."

Don't want to wait? This shaft, the Go-2, is getting a lot of good press in Europe. They have a US dealer listed and he has a FB page. https://www.go-customs.com/ or Daniel@go-customs.com

Dang this looks pretty nice and a plethora of joint styles. May have to bite the bullet on this one.
Joint type and tip? Thx.

Deflection feedback? I've heard it does feel far more similar to a wood shaft than a Revo, but that the level of deflection is actually greater than some of the other Mezz shaft offerings, such as the WX900. Could you report back after you've been able to determine/compare the level of deflection of the Ignite shaft as opposed to other popular LD shafts such as certain Predator or Mezz shaft models? Thanks
I've only tried the Ignite for 30 minutes, but it has amazing power transfer and the amount of deflection is very very low (lower than the Revo 12.9mm)
I currently play with the WX700 and have played with the Ex-Pro and HP2 the past year and the Ignite really is on a different level deflection wise.
I would really like to know how the Mezz Ignite shaft compares to a Mezz WX900 shaft for deflection, once someone has fairly experimented with both of those two shafts? There is no comparison between the levels of deflection of a WX700 or even an EXPro to the WX900 - which in my opinion deflects so much less than either of those two shafts it's ridiculous. When I switched to Mezz cues, I initially played with a WX700 shaft for nearly 6 months, before switching to a EXPro Mezz shaft, for considerably lower deflection than the WX700, which the EXPro shaft clearly provided, which I've played for nearly the past year. About a month ago I ordered, tried out, immediately fell in love with, and switched to the WX900 shaft, only because of the significant decrease in deflection over any previous shaft I had ever tried. Even though I'm still not yet fully comfortable and adjusted to it, my shotmaking accuracy when spinning the cue ball has already improved dramatically.
