OB Classic to the OB Pro? Anyone

[Busboy]

This may be all in my head, but here's what I see....

Let's say I need to draw straight back, center ball/no English, but I strike slightly to the left or right of center... it seems to throw the object ball more than if I were to make the same mistake with the larger diameter shaft. The larger Classic shaft seems to be more forgiving in that respect.

Basically a long way of saying that if you're using a smaller diameter shaft, it requires more precise cueing, in my experience. I'm also playing on 3 7/8" pockets though, so a ball that might still fall on bigger pockets will not fall where I play, so that little variance can make a big difference in whether I run out or rattle.

ok i see what ur saying hmm yea this is hard one

I made the switch from the OB-1 to the Classic-Pro about a year ago. It did take me about 20 hours of play to adjust to it though. The 11.75mm Pro deflects significantly less than my OB-1 did. I like the Classic-Pro so much I just bought an OB-131 with that shaft a few weeks ago.
