New Tiger 30" Pro-X Carom for pool! Its like super-charging your Pro-X!

[MalibuMike]

I have tried every Shaft on the market, see my photo's in my profile!
I have always gone back to The Tiger Pro-X 30" 11.75 mm. ( modified conical taper) Even OB's new "Plus" line falls way short, even though they stopped hollowing their shafts to try and compete with Tiger. Lets face it the only people playing with Predators and OB's are uneducated bar league players who see all the advertisements.
Well I'm finally happy to report I have a new shaft that is giving mt Tiger Pro-X a run for it's money! It's the brilliant Idea of taking Tiger's Pro-X Carom Shaft, and extending it from 28" to 30"! It plays like a super-charged Tiger Pro-X!
The taper is about the same, the big difference is the 12.25mm Tip! I was going to go with a 12.0, but Tony at Tiger suggested I try the 12.5mm, and we could always take it down. Well at 12.25 it hits awesome, ZERO squirt! And just as much action! But the tip is more forgiving so I am pocketing more balls in Straight Pool (14.1) and one pocket, as well as 8,9 and 10 ball! The hit is like nothing I have ever felt!
Tiger is not like these other companies that come out with a new improved Shaft every year Like The Vantage, Z2, OB+, Mezz Hybrid Pro II ETC.
They have never come out with a Tiger Pro X "next Generation" though there is talk that the caroms technology will be incorporated maybe next year for a new Tiger Pro-X! I have had mine for 6 years, and it has seen OB's,Predator's, Mezz's, Jacoby's, and all the other cored cues come and go! I am not a Shill for Tiger, I do not own a Tiger cue I just love their Shafts. And I really have tried them all fro 400 dollar Mezz shafts to $360 Fury EXII and everything in between!
Try The New Tiger 30" Pro-X Carom for pool! Its like super-charging your Pro-X! Mike

Also a good shafts is BD's SS-360/2!
I've tried all the rest now try the best Shaft out Their! Not a Shive for Tiger just tired of watching so many people through there money away and Chinese shafts, by companies that were ok at first and are now dumping all their money into advertising! Tiger is all word of Mouth, And made in Burbank, in Los Angeles! Come in and see then being made! Try visiting anther cue maker in the US! They may be assembles here but all the cues come from the same plant in China! Check out my visit to Tiger Cues, on my Profile!

Thanks for the post. I will be getting the 30' Pro x carom shaft as soon as I can. I have been trying/playing with a carom shaft (Predator version) for a while and really like how it plays. Only thing I don't like about it is the length. Although it looks like not as much as I should have, I have been searching for a longer carom shaft. Thanks to you, I have now found it.

Aloha

Come again? So, for example, Pechauer, Joss, Viking, McDermott do not make their cues themselves
they just do some final assembly on Chinese made cues? That's what you're saying right?

Lets face it the only people playing with Predators and OB's are uneducated bar league players who see all the advertisements.

Right. But in your text and pictures there are quite a few OB shafts to be seen so how does that work?
Are you saying you're an uneducated bar league player?

Well at 12.25 it hits awesome, ZERO squirt!

ZERO squirt? As in none at all. Yeah, don't really know what to say there.

Seriously though, I am a distributor for Tiger products and they make great tips and very good cues
and shafts but do you really need to put down and defame all other manufacturers, insult their customers
and claim Tony broke the laws of physics in a product review? Not cool.

[MalibuMike]

That's exactly what I am saying.

Come again? So, for example, Pechauer, Joss, Viking, McDermott do not make their cues themselves

Dan Janes of Joss, is more a custom cue-maker more in league with Schon.
But the rest, what do you think? Hey why don't you go by a One of One Dale Perry cue on Ebay for $100!

Right. But in your text and pictures there are quite a few OB shafts to be seen so how does that work?

No I'm a chairperson for The Kights of Columbus, the largest supplier of billiard equipment to our servicemen and women oversea's.Also one of the reasons pool as apposed to 3 Cushion and Snooker is so popular in the Philippines.
I try out all the new products. Why I put down some companies, because I have seen some of their business tactics upclose... ruthless. Capitalism gone rampant.



ZERO squirt? As in none at all. Yeah, don't really know what to say there.

Zero, as immeasurable as by the human senses. Sure I could show you some high-speed footage at different cue stick angles. But as an Aerospace test engineer and Physicist, I would say the Tiger Pro-X has no squirt that you would be able to detect. Also as a physicist I can tell you for a fact that in any game of billiards, pool.etc, NO TWO BALLS EVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER, EVER! Seriously though, Is this knowledge going to help your game? https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-murphy-854a563b
Lastly, I am not insulting players or defaming anyone! It's our culture the folks with the most money win! whether its elections or shaft reviews! That the public is uneducated is not there fault. They read what Billiard digest or whoever tells them, and who pays Billiards digest? Sponsors!
As Far as products and I get to try them all, I say Tiger makes the best Solid wood LD shaft, as for cored Shafts, BD360/2.

Also,do you think Kamuii Tips are made in Japan? Just curious....

Not Cool! Oh how unhip of me. I forgot we live in a culture where its not politically correct to have a opinion. "It's All Good!"

Enjoy! You won't be disappointed!

OK, so you took out Joss from your statement, ok well then let me add OB cues. So what you're saying is Pechauer,
Viking, McDermott and OB cues do not make their own cue they just do some final assembly on Chinese made cues.
Got it. It's bullshit, but I got it.

Lets face it the only people playing with Predators and OB's are uneducated bar league players who see all the advertisements.

I applaude your work for your servicemen and women, there is no sarcasm in that statement at all. I live around 3
miles from a large AFNorth base and around 10 miles from an even larger NATO base with Awacs planes. It's nice
to know there are lot's of people near me willing to do what needs to be done to keep me safe. I respect them a lot.
Rampant capitalism in pool however simply does not exist. The business as a whole simple isn't big enough for it.

Well at 12.25 it hits awesome, ZERO squirt!

ZERO squirt? As in none at all. Yeah, don't really know what to say there.

Zero, as immeasurable as by the human senses. Sure I could show you some high-speed footage at different cue stick angles.

OK, immeasurable by the human senses is closer to the truth then ZERO, but still off. The lowest squirting shaft I know off is
the Z-2/Z-3 and even they have about half a ball width of squirt on a full table length shot with plenty sidespin and speed 3/4.
I can detect half a balls width. The Tiger being solid maple has considerably more and I have tried the regular
Pro-X pretty in depth being a distributor and all. As to the no balls touching thingie, yeah electrons don't much
care for other electrons, gotcha.

Lastly, I am not insulting players or defaming anyone! It's our culture the folks with the most money win! whether its elections or shaft reviews! That the public is uneducated is not there fault. They read what Billiard digest or whoever tells them, and who pays Billiards digest? Sponsors!

Yes you are insulting and defaming. When you say all Pechauer, OB, Viking and McDermott cues are made in China
with some final assembly in the US...guess what? That's defaming those companies. As to the buyers, I get uneducated
ones in my store all the time and let them try out whatever they please. OB, Tiger, Predator, Mezz, custom, whatever.
And I still sell quite a few Predator shafts, these people are buying based on their own experience not off a magazine.
Heck, we don't even have Billards Digest in Europe.

It is not uncool of you to have an opinion. It's the insults, defaming and laws-of-physics breaking claims that are.

Nice picture of you and Efren though, and cool that you helped with that benefit tournament.

The Only Two Shafts that Matter!

The Tiger Pro + 30" Shaft, conical taper 11.75mm tip (My Back-up, Great For 9-Ball)

The Best Shaft is The Tiger Pro + 30" Carom Shaft, same as above but tip is 12.25, This seems to be perfect! I use it for straight pool and one pocket. Its got all the action of the Pro+ but is a little more forgiving with the slightly bigger tip. I'm not going to argue with any sales men like the cat below. I do not work for Tiger and don't use their Cues or accessories, I play with Schon's and use a Mezz Deep Impact Ash Break Cue. I have tried every shaft out there from All the Predator's and OB's which are awful! If I had to pick 2 runners up they would be the Jacoby Edge and The BD360-2, both built to spec with conical tappers and 12mm tips. Mezz Hybrid II is ok. And The Fury ESII was surprisingly awesome. but none come close to these 2 shafts. End of story!

You're probably not a very good aerospace test engineer or physicist if you claim ANY cue has ZERO deflection (I assume you're talking about cue ball deflection). I mean come on, hyperbole much?

No Noticeable Deflection to the naked eye, If you want me to go Quantum on your ass, the tip Never even touches the Cue ball, not even during the break!
Not Even with a Taom Tip! Get Real.

The Tiger is not solid Maple! try a little bit of investigating before you spout your nonsense, I mean come on! It's simply not cored or hollow!

Sorry man, you've lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned. Good luck out there!
