I got my hxt shaft for the helmstetter and my hxt 15, unfortunately I sold the bushka the day before I got this players stuff. But I did take the bushka out for a last goodbye drive the day before. My conclusion was the helmstetter hit the best to me. The bushka second and honestly the players hxt 15 - there's not much I have to say about it, hits pretty crappy for me, it's officially for guests! I've never loved my bushka's hit, but that's just me. The older, better players in the room love it but I'm really happy with my helmstetter now with a new $70 shaft. I guess this just concludes, to each their own regardless of the value of the cue. I was surprised how solid the kamui soft tip feels (on the helmstetter butt at least), but I'm still not changing my order on my jd cues from kamui black med tips.
