Anyone tried this shaft? I was talking to my ACS teammate who is a pool gizmo dealer and figured he could pick a blank up for me relatively cheap and then I could have it customed to my cue. Any thoughts on that?

Tiger X-Shafts are great. I have been using one for the last 10 months. They are the perfect balance of consistency and feel. Very solid hitting. If you want to buy one, send and email to me at crowncitycorey@yahoo.com.
The last post I saw about it were not promising as far as it being a low deflection shaft. Just another style of lamination. Haven't seen or heard any thing new about it until this post. If the price was a little more reasonable I might try a couple and play around with it a bit but not for what they are charging for a new product virtually unknown except for it being a Tiger product
ihear that thay play nice but i have not hit a ball with one .Nor has to many people i know has ..If u hit with one plz tell it all. if i can get on cheep i'll try it but last i hear that thay were about $190 a pop.not me .i'll get M Webb to get me a shaft..FIRST .Right mike...Michael Webb said:
Seeing as there is not to much info on these. I'll call Tony tomorrow and see if he'll let me experiment with a couple.
imo, mass-produced, aftermarket shafts rarely compare favorably to what a good custom cuemaker can do for you.
I play with Predator shafts, not because I think they are better quality in terms of hit or wood selection but because I'm used to their deflection. When I have the money to experiment with various cuemaker's tapers, and the time to make the adjustment in terms of squirt I'd drop the Pred in a heartbeat.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I consider the Tiger X-shaft completely pointless, especially considering the cost. Like Mr. Webb said, I see nothing concrete to support their low-deflection claim, and dropping 2 bills for a 4-piece laminated shaft is not something I would do.

Go with the shaft Mike makes.
When I got my first Webb a couple of years ago I was coming from a McDermott with a Predator. Mike being the gracious gentleman he is let me try it with a Predator and with one of his own shafts. Now I can't explain why, but I just liked playing with the shaft Mike made better than any other. Mike could probably explain why, but a cuemaker's got to have his secrets.

Those are some nice cues. Nice work Mike. Tasteful and classy.Steve Ellis said:Go with the shaft Mike makes.
