For the first time in 3+ years,
I am happy enough with the shaft I'm using
to reorder an identical shaft.
What could possibly earn my approval?
The Predator 314 series 2,
with a Quick-Lock joint
and a Moori medium tip,
extra long (30").
All shafts before this have been Predator,
and in normal length (29")
but I have experimented with
the Z-shaft
and custom 314 shafts cut down
to 12.25mm.
I think the extra inch in length helps
on reaching some shots,
and also the overall balance of my cue.
I evolved from a Moori soft to medium
because the soft needed constant attention.
Seybert's gets my business,
because they are easy to work with,
they stand behind their work,
I can order online,
and get it fast.
I ordered another shaft today
because the tip on my current playing shaft
is getting kind of low,
and flatter than I like,
so I did some shaping
to get it to nickel radius,
and roughed it up to hold chalk,
and now it is playing sweet again,
but that's about the last time I can do it.
This was the opportunity to get a backup shaft.
Then I'll send in the one I use now,
for a fresh tip.
A fresh tip shoots sweet.
Watch out, Efren...
