![]() ![]() So, I kept the shaft and never looked back. I, unfortunately, was not one of them (consistently anyways). Oh, I know a TON of guys that make that shot with a maple shaft all day long and twice on Sunday. Make the ob, and spin cb around 3 or 4 rails for position of another ball near the bottom rail. With the ob on the rail, 1.5 diamonds from the pocket, and the cb down near the spot. The inside English shots were working great. I figured it I don't like it, I'd sell it and only lose $30 bucks or so. So, I bought an OB shaft to give it a go. At 50 years old, I still had problems with using inside English on certain shots, mainly long shots, but the mediocre once seem to ratter more often then I'd like. Your question is exactly why I decided to with a LD shaft. I'm not trying to make any point with this.just my observation. Whereas the C player with the Revo shaft may not play at their level, doesn't have the speed control and shape, but hits those big spin shots like hangers. Beautiful speed and shape most times, but miss the big shot requiring a lot of english. When I'm playing "old school" guys who play with standard maple shafts, and are very good players, I notice that when they really have to stroke the ball with english at a distance, they miss a lot more than they should. Really, though, it is more about the consistency with which I can make shots using considerable english. Ok, I can adjust a bit and kinda sorta play, but there are shots that I can make with the Predator that I simply cannot make with the regular shaft. However, *I* cannot make a ball using english. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Gilbert shaft and it hits wonderfully. I already played Predator when I bought the cue, so I got 1 314-2 shaft from Andy and 1 regular Gilbert shaft for completeness sake. Did he say *he* couldn't make it with his regular shaft, or did he say the shot cannot be made with a regular shaft? I have a nice Andy Gilbert cue. Make sure you are arguing against what the guy actually said.
