My Game was at a stand still. No mater how much I practiced or how many tournaments I played. So I got rid of my OB break cue first. Trying a few other break cues gave me the bug to try new stuff. I did some research and started checking on a few different brands. Even asked some different people at the pool hall where i play, if I could try their cues. I wanted to try a variety. I settled on Mezz but the only thing that had me worried was the shaft and tip combinations. They have so many.
Luckily the Ex Pro is a major change from my OB Pro. Both in width and feel. But it only took about a hour to get confident with it. I am thinking about entering a big tournament here next month just to give it a good workout. My Confidence is way up. I know it's mostly psychological. I do miss certain things about the OB. Just honestly surprised at how well the Mezz feels compared to the OB. The pop of the Cueball, The English it applies. Everything just feels good.
