I have an OB Classic Plus shaft on its way, and Ill post a review of that one when the time comes.
In the meantime I bought a like new regular Classic shaft to have as a backup shaft. As someone who has been playing with 314 shafts for the last 4-5 years I can honestly say I found a far better shaft with OB. Much more solid hit and feel than Predator, with comparable squirt characteristics. It might squirt just a hair more, but its not enough to be problematic. Fit and finish is good, and like I say its hit is pretty close to a regular maple shaft.
Im looking forward to the plus shaft, as it should surpass this one. Overall Im impressed with the classic. Ive hit with the original OB 1 shafts, and to be honest didnt care for how soft they felt. Years of playing steel jointed high squirt shafts made the ob1 just feel too quiet.
