My 10mm tip hits stiff with a conical taper. I think an 11mm tip could use a semi-pro taper (increases in diameter, but not conical) and still hit fairly stiff. I doubt that the Predator 11mm (is that the Z shaft?) has a conical taper.

The Predator 314 is 12.75 with a pro taper; the Z shaft is 11.75 mm and has a conical taper.
 
I have used the Z-2 for the last 9 months, before that I used the Z, they are both 11.75, and not an option in the poll.

Is your 11mm with the 15" pro taper a Predator shaft? What's it called?

No, it's not a Predator shaft.

Schmelke Cues made it specially for me. While it has a 1/2 inch ferrule, the shaft is solid, and not drilled out under the tip, as Predator shafts are.

Oh right, it's the one you showed me (with the nice ebony-pointed butt and black stacked wrap).

11.75 really should have been included, with this being a standard size for some of the LD shafts. Personally, I use a 12.5-12.75 what I feel like playing with. Like it much better than my Z2 days
 
I'm slightly concerned that LD shafts are all the rage and they average below 13mm. Where, if we were all using std shaffts, I think we would mostly choose 12.5 - 13. Does that make some sense why I think this will be skewed low some?
 
using OB classic pro, 11 7/8. as I play mostly 1- hole and feel I can do more, accurately, with the smaller tip.
