Both the Ko brothers use Southwest's with solid shafts. I think Wu also uses a SW. Larger diameter solid shafts are kinda popular with various Asian players.
Low deflection vs traditional shafts

Mezz makes a really nice solid shaft. So does Lucasi,
Mezz is of the highest quality!
I agree. I love my AXI-K.
That's my player too atm. I have only played with mezz shafts for years now. They're just better quality than any other product on the market IMO. I'm using their CF shaft rn, and I would highly recommend it to people who want a CF shaft but think the revo hit is too "tingy". Mezz CF shaft hits better than almost all wood LD shafts I've ever played with. It definitely has more deflection than a revo, but that doesn't bother me. Made it easier to adjust to, actually.
I play with an AXI-R
If you want an American made shaft then having a custom cue maker build you a shaft would probably guarantee it was American made. Ask the cuemaker his process. I get some of my shaft wood as dowels and have about 400-500 in squares which I will need to cut down. Most cuemakers should tell you.

Re: USA LD shafts
I kind of hate to mention the "M" word but I believe that Meucci is made in the USA.
I play with an old pre dot Meucci shaft which is lower deflection than most shafts made back then but not primarily marketed as LD.
I like it better than the predator 314 that also came with the cue but then I have years of practice with a snooker cue making adjustments for side spin.
