Shaft comparison

[jrctherake]

I play with my Becue every week and, like you said, it will play with the best of cues by anybody.

There are a lot of people who own "high-end" custom cues who are "afraid" to admit that some of the newer production cues can play as well, or better, than their customs.

They don't want to say it because they are afraid their cues will lose value once everyone realizes that there are cheaper options that provide the same playability.

None of my customs were made to be "lookers". None of them have inlays or anything fancy. They are simple players made by custom makers.

Everybody talks about how much a REVO costs or a Becue. Custom shafts cost almost as much and I will guarantee they won't play any "better".

I want to get a new wood shaft made, but, after playing with the Becue, I think I may be disappointed with what I get. Not that it won't be a good, quality shaft...it's just that I don't think it will hit better than the Becue shaft.

Once again, well said.

I wish I could get my point across as well. There are a lot of times when people, even people that know me, lose sight of my point due to "my" lack of communication skills.

Lol, I've never been accused of being a people person. It cost me dearly in my career at more than one point.

How can you compare a Revo thats not custom fit to a cue too a custom fit compression shaft from Dennis Searing ? Just have trouble believing a stock off the shelf CF shaft can compare.

What are we comparing? Both are shafts but aside from that have as much in common as a 747 does to an A-10, both have wings and fly, but that is about it. You won't use a 747 to attack a tank and you won't use an A-10 to fly 100 people across a country.

If you give a searing shaft to someone used to playing with an LD Predator, they would think it was a horrible shaft.

So,follow the yellow brick road to OZ (PREDATOR) get a 12.4 or12.9 or what ever and play all those players even that gave you the 7. Make them play with a maple shaft .But make them put up 3 sets.Hell they might let you put that Magic up for another set.
