hello to all. i am in the market to get either a predator shaft, a pioneer shaft, or just a regular shaft for my cue. i am curious what everyone's thoughts are on the pioneer shafts offered by prather. i was thinking of getting a new shaft for my cue, but also was thinking i would just get a stiffer, higher ring count shaft made by my cuemaker. any info, or advise, from everyone is greately appreciated. thanks everyone.
