All it takes is a little adjustment to go between a LD and regular maple shaft...both are great for their own reasons. Depends on my mood...sometimes I prefer one over the other.
Also keep in mind that not all LD shafts are built the same--seems like majority use laminated pieces of wood glued to form a 'perfect radial construction' (bunch of b.s. hooplah to me, as having "our most radially accurate shaft ever!" doesn't really make a difference--I seem to favor LD shafts that are still one piece of wood, even if they might hollow out or lighten front-end mass towards the tip.
To the original poster -- are you looking to purchase a new cue or shaft? If so, I would have many recommendations based on your price range and specifications.
My favorite cue brands: Mezz, Meucci, Schon, McDermott, Joss, Viking, Pechauer, Lucasi, Players/Pure-X
If we are just talking LD shafts (for brands not mentioned above), I'd look to: OB, Bob Daniels SS360, Predator, Jacoby
This is all person preference. Hope you find what you are looking for.
