If a pool player w a limited budget had a random name production cue, what CF shaft would you recommend and why? No I’m not personally looking but I know new players are.$179-600+ is a big spread.
 
Predator. 30 years of proven quality and performance. Leader of the pack for low squirt cues. Their CF offering continuous that trend.
 
I think the Rhino is hard to beat for $199. I do think its worth the extra money to upgrade to the Cuetec at $399. Above that, I think paying more is only justified when looking to optimize in an area. The Revo is worth the premium if a person wants the lowest deflection, the Ignite might be worth the premium if a person wants to optimize for feedback. I've never shot a Defy, Jacoby, Whyte (I will buy one of these soon), Fortis.
 
A buddy of mine purchased a revo 11.8 for $700 Canadian he loves it myself i prefer wood.
 
While I think a Rhino is the best good quality for a buck, if money were no object, one advantage in a predator as far as I can see is that you can have a slightly heavier shaft for a more forward ballance if that matters to you. The Rhino that we have is a 12.5 version for my Schons, better for me than a High dollar one I've had. The high dollar one has a really nice finish and is a great shaft, but I can shoot the Rhino the same as my LD wood shaft.
 
I shoot with a 12.5 Cuetec Cynergy. Love it.

Bought a Rhino 11.8 CF shaft for backup. I would say that you can't bea Rhinos for the price.
 
I play with Revo these days but if I was looking for a best bang for the buck option I'd look at the Rhino shafts. Feedback has seemed very positive on those and their price is just really really good
 
I was playing wood predator shafts for 20 years before i even played carbon. For me it was just knowing the brand for that long. I never even thought about another brand
