Tiger X Ultra, 314-2, or something else

there's more than enough poll options - why didn't you put the likes of the OB-1 as an option on it's own?
anyway I voted for the OB-1.

I played with predator 314's and when they stopped making them I bought 2 314 2nd gen blanks and Paul Mottey matched them to my cue and I love the way they play. I use the older version of the Moori Slow tips on my shafts and this combination works for me. I like the 314 2nd gens. better than my original 314's.

Tiger X Ultra
I've had my X shaft for 3 months now and can say that I really like the
feel of the feed back though the cue. I used to play with a Pred and
yes the deflection was very low the hit was dead feel wise.
The Tiger on the other hand may deflected more but the hit is way more
like a good high end shaft, and the phenolic insert though not a new
inovation not only sweetens the hit, but makes a great sound as you
strike the ball. JMHO:wink:

Left Lam shafts and went back to my old growth solid maples about a year or so ago. Couldn't be happier. 
Tiger X plays good But they need to work on the marketing side 
But they need to work on the marketing side I voted for Other, as in the OB-1. The shaft seems to play really good for me, the only thing I don't like is the soft hit to it compared to the 314, but oh well its what I'm better with.

This is kind of why I am asking. Are you using the Sniper tip? I have snipers on all my current shafts. they alone soften the hit but are well worth the price you pay for them. I am thinking about getting a older Schon R2 with an Ivory ferrule. I know this will hit a ton and I don't want to lose too much of that. But I also want to upgrade it to a laminated. So this is where the opions of AZBers comes in.

Perhaps you might suggest what 'your' looking for specifically rather than what other people like.
All the lam shafts will keep deflection down.
Intergrity . . . only you can answer that too.
Good luck in your search. :thumbup:

Try a hybrid pro 2. It's what Pagulayan and Orcullo uses. What I like about it is that it has a low deflection, but a little higher than a predator 314-2. But the amount of spin and feel you'll get is worth it. It's like a schon but low in deflection. :smile: Mezz just recently introduced a new shaft called hybrid alpha. I haven't tried it yet though.

Solid hit, help keep the cues over all balance and that nice sweet sound you hear when you strike a CB with a Ivory ferrule (I know it'll be hard to keep that).

IMO , that's a tall order with a Laminated shaft. Pretty much also why I am back with solid wood , but I know this thread isn't about that so I won't bring it up again.
