How does the X-Shaft compare?

[ioCross]

This is directed twards people who shoot with the X-shafts.

How is the hit compared to the 314's or Z shafts?

Is it soft like the ob-1 or does it have a stiff hit?

How's the deflection and cue control?

is it easy to draw a ball with it?

Thanks in advance.

i first shot with an x shaft on the double refund cue made by chuck starkey and really liked it, so when i had chuck build me a cue i ordered one of them along with one of chucks. Ive played with a z shaft...didnt like it cuz it was just too small. I have an ob1 shaft and like it, but it is a little spongey. To me the x feels like a really good custom shaft...good feedback...solid....plus the guys at tiger stand behind their work.
Honestly i used to think shafts could help me play better and ive gotten to the point in my game where i feel like i can play good with anything, but i woudlnt hesitate to put an x shaft with any stick i was using.
