John Henderson used to pay with a sweet 16 for a long time I still have one on a cue I play with from time to time but I bought it as a dowel and tapered it myself plays great to me but its pro taper not a standard taper to it so hard to tell you whats its like.
I think all laminated shafts go in burst all love them then try another then go back to what they had first then settle on aused predator because so many are out there you see them more then any other.
Dominiak does have a great refinish policy still I think $125 to refinish, rewrap and build a new shaft for the original owners. All that for next to nothing.every year get a new shaft. Might be a different price for the laminated shafts but I know in the past it was a standard shaft + little more for dominator shaft.
Still a Sweet deal.
