Might want to try a different tip before trading the cue if you do like the look of it. What about the hit do you not care for and what were you shooting with previously?
Going from a Z2 to what I assume is a 13mm maple shaft is about a big a difference as you'll find. You should try a Z2 on there and I bet you'll find it much more familiar. My Jacoby feels vastly different with the stock shaft vs the Z2 S-Tuned I actually play with.
