I would just like to make an observation that I've kind of stumbled across. I convinced myself quite a while ago that the Predator shafts were the way to go and have bought one for every cue I've owned for the last 5 yrs.A few weeks ago I picked up my Rempe from my collection and shot a rack with it.It 's still got the original whippy shaft that Moochies are famous for and I could not believe how this cue felt and shot.I don't know if it was the sealed wrap or the shaft or the balance but it has replaced my Lebow in by case. I thought some old diehards would like to hear that! Don
