New Mezz Shaft WX900
- Thread starter n0th1ng
- Start date
Even if it was, which it probably isn't, as long as you don't snap your shaft in front of a predator representative, I think you'll be ok.
I hit 30 to 40 shots with Stevie Moore's Mezz cue with this shaft this past weekend. Had a really great feel to it, this will definitely be a LD shaft that will compete well with Predator and OB.
I sent an email to Stevie asking about his experience with the new WX900 shaft, hope he does not mind me sharing his words.
I`m still waiting for my WX900 shaft, but after playing a couple of months with the Hybrid Alpha II it`s not such a big deal if i have to wait some more
what cue are you using? you using a wavy joint cue? wanna sell your hybrid alpha when you get your wx900?
No I`m using the united joint.
I`ll hold on to the hybrid alpha shaft untill i have decided what i like best.

Hopefully meeting up with Hunter this week, he has 1 of these and I will post feedback once I hit with it. He has a custom width shaft right now but was raving about this one...

Hi AZB Community,
Just some information on the new WX900 shaft. We haven't had a chance to update our site yet but we do have some in stock. Just give us a call or drop us an e-mail if you're interested in one.
The WX900 has a conical taper and the diameter is 12mm. It has the least deflection amongst all the Mezz shafts. Comes with Kamui Brown Medium Tip. We have the WX900 shaft for the Mezz United Joint and Wavy Joint. WX900 shaft costs $290.00 retail.
Concerning the Extension: We are not allowed to sell any of the Mezz Extensions due to the patenting issue. They were unable to resolve the US company from patenting the Mezz extension product.
Concernig the Exceed Cues: Mezz USA has been selling Exceed Cues but on a custom order basis. Exceed cues are customizable and most of our customers request for changes for wood used, joint system, style of rings, etc. we do not sell ready made Exceed cues. For more information on Exceed cues, please email info@mezzusa.com.
Thanks!

If someone has more experience on this shaft....please let us know
I just got Wx900 today!... in fact 2 of them (United joints). These 'joint style' fits my Schon's and other 20mm butts with the 5/16 14 pin thread. Yes it is a very snug fit. Reminds me tighter wood joints of the past but joint closes tight as a snug bug in a rug.
The reason I ordered 2 was that I wanted to see 'real time' the difference in hit (feel/sound feed back etc) between the brand new Kamui brown Medium multi layered tip that comes installed on this shaft verses the new Ki-Tech Medium single layered composite hybrid tip (from Chris @ Outsville) that all of the champions are now trying out -with rave reviews btw. (If you're interested you can email Chris @ Outsville for the list of pros that are enjoying his new tip designs). So the first thing I did on cue #2 using my new 'Mid America finishing lathe' is removed the brand new Kamui and installed the new Medium Ki-Tech for the 'cold comparison'. After the first couple of hours of drills/games I can tell you I love this new WX900 Mezz shaft.
Akso I must say that I concur with the tour champions on the Ki-Tech tips. These Ki-Tech tips offer an immediate noticeable crispness / 'feed back' over the stock Medium Brown Kamui and really holds the chalk like a great tip should. I realize there is a tip breakin period for layered leather tips but the difference in hit is noticeable. More later.
As for as the WX900, personally I love it. I have the full Predator compliment for multiple 5/16 14 and 5/16 18 cues (314-2, Z-2 etc) that I have been whittling on over the past 3-4 years trying different tips etc, kinda forgot what a new ride feels like. I likey my new ride on these WX900's...
A little history, I have had a chance to take a 4 week break from playing any pool to get some personal things done and do some traveling etc. I've been planning the get these 2 shafts at the same time just for this purpose. Taking the time off also help erase some of the 'memory prejudices' from my older shafts as well. Now I don't have a new Z-2 to compare to these new WX900's directly but I can say that I really don't need to. Love what I'm seeing with these New Mezz snafts. My older Z-2's have the Ki-Tech Medium tips installed also so these Z-2 shafts compared to the new Mezz shafts is as close as I can get but there is a noticeable difference in the hit especially on 'above medium speed' shots requiring english.
I really like the new Mezz WX900 especially with the Medium Ki-Tech tips. If you're a LD shaft player and get a chance to hit some with this combination I think you will be surprised with all the new feedback. Take more than a couple of minutes to hit some balls to absorb all of the new input coming back to your senses. I think most players (like the pros) will like these technology advancements.
Love it!

I had the chance to hit with wx900 for the first time last night. I played with Z2 shaft in the last years and I didn't believe there will be a shaft that will bend the angles more. It is a monster shaft,puts more spin that any shaft I know. Great feeling. Right now is the best low deflection shaft in the market. Comparing with Z2 the deflection is similar, it has a more solid feel, and the bridge is more comfortable.
Mine is on the way I can't wait to have it
