Best OB Shaft

Not even listed....the one I like the best is the BREAK shaft. 
I did a whole review on the Classic a few months ago. The Classic is solid and plays stiff, plus it has a short ferrule. It's really a great shaft. It's probably not quite as low squirt as the others, but it's close enough to easily adapt.

Do you mean the 314-2 Fat Shaft? I've never heard of a Z2 Fat.
the z fat shaft sounds interesting. i picture it with a stiffer taper. i'd like to try something like that out
i've only tried the ob shafts and not the classic shafts but i went ahead and voted for the classic. mostly because i think i'd like the ob shafts a lot more if they were a little stiffer
i like the pro sizes better for my game, but either classic shaft is AMAZING. Easily the best shaft I've ever hit with, don't think I'll go to anything else. I highly recommend the classic to anyone who may not have previously liked the OB-2 or OB-1 because of a softer hit or a non-traditional ferrule. The classic shaft takes care of both of these problems and it is truly great... I haven't heard one person who hit with it that didn't say they they love it.
I voted for the OB-1 because it's the only one from the OB line that I've played with. I've had mine for almost three years now and there's no turning back. I wouldn't mind trying other OB shafts, but I have no reason to buy one, since I'm completely satisfied already.
I played mostly only with OB1 and OB Classic. I preffer the those two because of the taper and size of the tip. I know that OB2 and Classic PRO promote less deflection but to be more accurate you need to be a better centerball hitter (hope everyone get what i mean here) the bigger tip diameter = bigger sweet spot and the minute deflection difference between the two is not worth the lessened accuracy. So i vote for OB classic since the hit is much stifer than OB1.
Ob-2
I voted for the OB-2 because thats the only one i have shot with. However I am currently thinking of taking an old sneaky butt that i have and trying the classic or pro with that. I wonder if they would make me one without rings so that I get the sneaky look?

You can always buy a blank and have a cuemaker fit it to your sneaky butt.
Living in Las Vegas has been to my advantage here because of the BCA going on right now. I have been by the OB booth and the Predator booth several times tried each shaft out and hands down I liked the OB Classic Pro the best.
The OB classic pro shaft using BHE (back hand english) I was nailing everything center pocket with one and two tips of side spin no problem. The balls split the pockets and the action on the cue ball was out of this world. I ordered a Classic Pro (partial) and had OB ship it directly to Ariel Carmeli's shop so that he can put a matching ivory tiffany diamond ring on the shaft. (like the photo in my Avatar)

Sorry yes, got used to typing Z2 lately.
Ob-1
I am an OB-1 user for a couple of years now and as others have said, "there is no looking back" completely satisfied. However, since I do live in Vegas I will be going down to see Royce at the OB booth and try out some of these other configurations. The part I like the most is if I have a custom cuemaker make me 3 shafts, there will definetly be differences in all 3, although maybe slight, I would gravitate toward liking one of the 3 over the other 2....My experience with OB's engineered shafts is that I could replace the one I playing with now with 3 new ones and they would all be identical to each other!!! Nice option IMO...OFF to the Riviera
