Let me tell you the story on the ob-2. I have been shooting with a low-deflection shaft for years and have been shooting with the ob 2 since it first came on the market. When I ordered the cue I was afraid of going back to a standard shaft.
I called up OB cues, ordered a partial and had it dropped ship to Mr.Nitti. Chris put his ring work on it and sealed it without the decal.
While my ob shaft was being fitted, I had already recieved the cue and started playing with one of the standard shafts. I now play with one of the original shafts because I fell in love with the hit. The ob2 has less than one rack of balls hit on it. The ob2 feels really good and solid but I am really liking the original shafts that came with the cue.
Chris Nitti really uses top notch shaft woods and there almost like low deflection in themselves in my opinion.
So the ob2 went back in the storage case and I will either sell it with the cue if I ever decide to sell it or sell the shaft only, to another Nitti owner who wants a OB2. Im not advertising it though. I paid 240.00 including shipping for the whole process.
