AZ Cue Survey 2

I started a cue survey on a previous thread, but didn't realise there's a 13000 limit on post content . So I'm starting a new thread and separating the results with A-K and L-Z, as well as a Statistics breakdown.

So, give me your MAIN Playing cues (maximum of 3), Shafts used (original or other) and tips. I'll update the list as required. This should give us an overview of what people regard as good in the "real" world (apologies to all Pro AZ members).
