i'd personally rather play with an OB classic shaft. well to be more specific an OB classic XL shaft is what i'd rather use. that way i'd get a little LD but with a stiff shaft that's the full 13mm so it'd be easier to pocket balls and control the cue ball.
another great reason is to spend my money with a company that doesn't do everything it can to cut costs (laying americans off and moving construction to china) and then raise the price the customers pay. i'm just not a fan of companies gauging customers. especially all the hard core predator fans that've been buying predator gear from the jump
