I love my Z2. I can't imagine trying to shoot much without it. Took a while to get used to not having to adjust for squirt, but I love no longer having to consider that in the aiming equation. The stronger taper on these shafts definately helps when going for a three rail bank or kick. If you favor using rails for position or frequently try three rail kicks and banks, then this is the shaft for you. Pair this up with a Kamui black soft and its a match made in heaven.

Even though I love the solid shaft that came with my Viking Cue, I had to see what kind of english results could be had with the Predator Z2. Talk about draw. Not that my stroke is exactly consistent every time but i can typically draw the ball 18-24 inches more with Z2 shaft. Top english is enhanced as well. This has been a great addition to the well balanced Viking butt section enhancing my cue ball control and my game.
