I love mine - It's very solid an I'm confident with it. It would be difficult to evaluate it from the standpoint of if it's "any better" than something else ( I never hit a hundred racks with it, and, a hundred with something else and then stat'd out the number of balls made, avg mph, and average dispersion -tho, I wish someone would).
It definitely, has to be stiffer than the std Predator shaft, and I don't think there's any stiffer hitting wooden shaft out there.
