I stopped playing with a Meucci cue many years ago, because the shaft was too whippy. I haven't played with the black dot, but I hear that the results from actual play don't seem to agree with Bob Meucci's test results. I have played with the Z2 shaft and I could see a huge difference in how it plays compared to more conventional shafts. I am planning on buying a cue with a Z2 shaft, when I get another cue. I think I'll just try a sneaky with a Z2 shaft to start with. Also, the smaller shaft will help me, because I have small hands, so I'm anxious to try it out for that reason too. With my previous cues, I've foud myself playing with an open bridge about 75% of the time, because it feels better for me. Thanks for sharing your experience. Skippy Joost,

Not sure.. A lot of debate on deflection in general and Meucci's tests in particular.. Many say no good.. I think so to.. Too many parameters can be 'cheated' with and of course test are not independent. I know a guy who also has a HOF-2 but plays with a predator Z2 shaft on it because he found org. BD-shaft too 'whippy'. Got myself one of those few days ago, just to see what it's like (is also 1 mm smaller in tip dia.). Damn Z2 is stiff !! No verdict yet. I know a lot of very good players use predator stuff, also a lot dislike Meucci: Matter of taste. More later perhaps and please more Replies ! Hi, well I have 2 Meucci’s: HOF-2 and Power Piston 1 ->
