Anything but predator...wow look@this shaft

KEEP IT GOING!!PLEASE VOTE ON POLL!!!!!!
I want opinions on shafts, please use the poll, Im trying to study the popularity of each and why the people who use them..well use them. I personally only used the Z-2 since I bought my Ikon.
The consensus seems to be that if you want a new shaft, high performace, for any stick you may be holding, that your best bet is to get a predator 314-2 or a z2..But I started testing many diffrent shafts just for the heck of it, threw out an obclassic pro, Im currently in love with my OB1 turned to 12.4mm This thought brought me to this, I want to see if it is everyone that assumes predator right away for a great shaft,. Or do they think Ob or Intimidator, or even katana, etc... cast your vote, if you want to feel free to talk about your decision, I really want to know if there are die hard tiger x, or die hard gcore players like predator players...
This was the original post, but the poll seems to be my foucus, so heres a pic for your enjoyment...
Look at the bottom 2 pics..I have never seen a warp this bad on a high performance shaft too, and its only warped at the top 11" or so.
Anyone else got pics like this, or have you had this happen or seen it happen?http://www.kendallscustomcues.com/cuesinprogress.html

It says it's a Meucci Original cue. I don't see that it says it's a black-dot shaft. The original shafts for those cues were solid maple shafts, not laminated black-dot shafts.


It doesn't really matter, though. Under certain conditions, that can happen to any shaft.
 
my bad I kinda read it quickly, either way..Thats way out there for someone to neglect that badly. mine are treated like a tube of small pox..

I voted OB-1 or/and 2 but the Cuetec R-360 LDS plays good for me also. Johnnyt
 
Vote.

I voted for the McD I shafts.. I have a Z shaft a 314-2 "turned down" .. a I-2 and a I-3.. The I-3 fits my style of playing the best.. I have played around with all of them and have found out they all play great when you find the right tip that fits your playing style...The Kamui hard makes all my shafts play good for me.. Everyone likes something different so this is just my opinion... Good post.. The Dster.
 
You mention custom made cues that come with a shaft but there are custom made, high performance shafts made for your cue.
 
G Core is the best performance value, plays great, and solid hit. As for the Predators, I am not crazy about the hit, too much flex for me.
 
ya your probly right about the lens, either way that shaft is bent in a bad way..
I thought I would see more support for everything but what I am seeing.. to each his own

I still stand firm on belief of the gcor3.. I dont want to bash mcdermott, they are a great company and make some incredible pieces, I own thier break cue, and shaft, personally i like it better than any other j./b combo or even just break or just jump i have used alot of them..I just feel that the gcor was good marketing for a bad product, it is somewhat hyped up, I thought this is what i wanted to get for my stick back in november, I started talking to people i might have bought it from and for the most part they told me more about these i wont get to into it. its a solid shaft, with a wierd furrell, Im still on the fence about the everest tip, but the one i had had a really bad grain that i had to burnish out over time, the furrell was wavy and got scratched easy. I got mine in the ng package it was not warped, but I did not like it, i sold it for less than half price. I undersand why i was steered away from them..Imo just spend an extra 40 50 bucks if you really like playing, and get an intimidator, i had an i3 it wasnt for me but alot of people say they are better than predator, like i said, to each his own.
thanks everyone for commenting
 
A lot of tiger x, but not as many gcore, I thought they played the same, they are built almost the same..let me know the diffrence if you own one and tried both.. thanks all
