Schon...oh wait, haha.

That's all I'll ever play with most likely. I've almost every brand from Dufferin to Meucci to Viking to McDermott to Lucasi and even customs such as Southwest. For my personal taste, the best cue money can buy is a Schon paired with a Predator Z shaft.

I had a local ex pro hit with it and he said it was "one of the top 5 best feeling cues he's ever had the pleasure of wrapping my grubby paws on."

What's the difference in the "Z" as compared to a 314?

The "Z" shaft is much thinner then the 314 shaft and it's supposed to reduce deflection 16% more then the 314 shaft, at least by their tests. It's also supposed to increase spin, yada, yada, yada.

Basically it's the "new and improved" shaft that's better then the previous 314 shaft.

Hype, fact, fiction, who know's..........

Yeah...that.

At least in my experiences. I can do things with that shaft that I don't feel as though I could with a larger tip. Also, the added precision is nice.
