I have recieved my Anwar LD shaft and will shoot with it this weekend and Monday night for BCA play offs. I will have my review posted Wednesday or Thursday. I will make it as specific as possible.

Melissa, djay custom and axio, if someday you came to Jakarta. Just conract me, maybe we can play pool..
i would love to try it as well as many other people here in Belgium i think .
Everybody is looking for something else than a pred shaft , i had a Z2 but didn't like it .
I just can't find a good shaft !!!
I will try to get pics up within a couple days but here is my review.
1. Packaging - excellent and very professional.
2. Fit and Finish - Sub Standard and lacking in my honest opinion. There is seperation from ferrule and shaft, you can feel the gap between the two even tho it is not easily seen with the eye. The shaft has places where it was rough and places it was smooth. Shaft wood appears to be pretty green with very dark sugar marks on it. Tip was in excellent shape.
3.Playability. Surprisingly Very Good. Honestly after seeing the shaft and the poor fit and finish I did not expect much from the shaft as far as playability went. I was pleasantly surprised. I put the radial pin shaft on my Barhart which has Cory's short ferrule ld shaft and started shooting balls just to get a feel for the shaft. The shaft felt natrual for me and my cue ball control was very consistant. The shaft itself was very consistant whether I hit the cue ball soft or hard, whether i used a 1/4 tip of english or a whole tip. I never felt alot of whip or alot of vibration. I never felt like I had to juice the cue ball to move it long distances, a nice smooth stroke and the cue ball moved smooth and precisely.My only complaint was I constantly heard a ping from the ferrule, probably from the seperation of ferrule and shaft.
4. Overall Opinion - I realy like the way this shaft plays. I like it better than the 314 or ob shafts mainly because the shaft feels heavier and more solid than the other 2. I would not however pay $200 for a shaft that looks like this one did. If I am going to put a shaft on a cue like my Barnhart than I want it to look the same quality as my cue. This shaft did not come close to that. If the fit and finish could match the playability I believe this shaft would be hard to beat.
I have a few more things I will share when I post pics of the shaft.

My 2 cents about the LD shaft.

I read your *review* and would've been pissed if I paid 2 cents for it .. no meat whatsoever. If I made and gave you the shaft to you FREE in return for a meaningful review, I'd be royally pissed.
Beside Jager Monster, I haven't read a single decent review of the shaft.
