Really at this point in the game we need to talk about shafts not just cue brands correct? I would guess half or more than half of us don't use the shaft that originally came with the cue we use, or had the shaft custom built to our specs. I really think any discussion on what cues we like has to include the shafts we use on them more than anything else, I'd say 80% of the "playability" people talk about comes from the shaft and tip if we put things like hit feel together with deflection properties into that single "how does it play" question that is asked.
I'd have to go with the Revo, followed by a shaft that actually did come with a custom cue I use by Joe Callaluca. That custom shaft is not only an LD shaft but has a sweet feeling hit I am comfortable with using on any cue. Revo I would take over any other shaft I tried for pure performance and my comfort zone in just shooting the shot without guessing how to adjust or worry that I will miss once I aim the shot.
I've hit with a few Meucci cues/shafts I like and many more I did not like, same for Jacoby and just about every other brand. Depends on the shaft that's on it. I liked the one Pro shaft I tried for Meucci, I like one black dot shaft, did not like about 6 others.
Just saying that a Meucci or Jacoby is the favorite cue is like saying "Ford is my favorite car to drive", do we mean a Mustang or a Taurus or an Explorer? And on what tires, you like your Mustang on snow tires or on the summer tires? Not so easy to just say one thing.
