Any thoughts on the Tiger Pro X LD shaft
After trying whatever shafts I could, I'm opting for a Tiger Pro-X on my next cue. I have reservations about going from a 12.75mm shaft to 11.75, but the hit is fantastic. I was looking for something that felt similar to a Mezz HP II for a lower price and this was what I've come up with. A bit stiffer than their Ultra-X, which I thought I'd prefer for it's pro taper and larger diameter. Someone called them springy above but I felt the opposite.
I haven't tried the other Mezz shafts having determined that they're out of my range. I also don't measure deflection in a shaft I'm considering. I like LD for their consistency of hit. Most LD shafts I've tried are excellent and it just comes down to the hit. I don't have issues switching between LD and non-LD. To me, you have to adjust to the deflection of any shaft, just like you have to adjust to whatever table conditions you face. That's just my opinion.
