I have never shot with nor felt the need for a low deflection shaft. Having said that and seeing so many of them out there I decided to bite the bullet and order one. I just sent a Olney Butt to Bob Danielson for one of his LD shafts. The cue is nothing fancy it is a Bloodwood cue no points etc. It is a cue I purchased from a member here to be my car cue. Not being a pointed cue I can't comment on Jeff's points but for an unadorned cue I am totally happy with it. The only kick I have is the tip and that has no bearing on Jeff or the cue. It came with a Milk dud tip which many here seem to like, I how ever have a tendency to miscue with it. It does how ever brake very well. I was tempted to change it but I will keep it as once I get the knew shaft I doubt I'll play it much. I am also having Bob change the wrap on the butt. I purchased it with a linen wrap and I am a leather fan. I purchased a Kangaroo wrap from Martin to be put on the cue. A personal FYI, for anyone that hasn't tried Kangaroo it's a sweet feeling wrap.

The great shafts that are available in this day in age can make any cue play awesome. Personally, I think that it has changed how people think of cue brands. When I started playing, there was a lot of variation between different makes in how they played but today, you just stick a Predator or OB shaft on anything and it'll play awesome. Granted, some people still have their preferences but I don't ever see cues today that play like crap the way some did 20 years ago.
shafts
Ive played with Predator 314s ,314-2s, 314-2 Fat and Z2 ...for me the Fat shaft has been the best for the predators
With the OB shafts ive only use the OB2 and I was really impressed with it..
And the new Katana shafts have the play between a 314-2 and Z2 but the solid hit of a standard shaft
Really they all play great and can help you ....maybe more of a mental thing since pool players are headcases lol but they can help with confidence when you can spin the ball effortless 3 rails
Hope this helped
