I like Mezz cues, I had one with the WD700 standard maple shaft, and compared it to a 314-2 surprisingly they play very simular, (to me) Id venture to say the WD700 shaft may have the least deflection of any standard maple shaft.. The Hybrid is to stiff for me, and Ive never played with it long enough to make an honest opinion because I like the WD700 so much.. Im sure there are others who might have a differnt opinion, but overall, I highly recomend Mezz..
