Low deflection snooker cues

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Does anyone own a low deflection snooker cue? Or played with one?

And who makes them? I know of MW and Mezz - anyone else? MW's low deflection properties comes only from the ferrule, i presume, whilst Mezz (again presumably) gets theirs from more traditional routes ie hollowing, pie construction techniques etc.

Would be interested to see how effective they are at reducing CB deflection, and whether the cost is worth it. One of the major criticisms of LD shafts is lack of feel, so would be good to know if that is a factor, too.

is it Acuerate who sell their cues as "low deflection"?

I think so, to do with taper and ferrule. But who cares, the greatest have always used ash/maple and brass. Parris doesn't use it, game over.

Failure to innovate will lead to bankruptcy, there's nothing surer.

Really, snooker is in rude health and spreading worldwide. Guess what, we're still playing with the same ash/maple cues with a brass ferrule and leather tip from a century ago. Bankruptcy, I don't think so pal. Maybe in pool aye. Noticed any pros using Mike's blackspin ferrule, the much lauded innovation when it arrived? We're not using aluminum or telescopic cues either. Or silicone rubber tips, or, or, or...........

It ain't broke and it doesn't require any of your madcap fixes ta luv.

Dont see much innovation in snooker cue design in over 100yrs. Kinda makes your inaccurate generalization a moot point.

Parris will still be churning out snooker bats while punters throw a grand plus at him for his offerings.

Aye. Until the market shifts, which it surely will.

Rude health? You simply cannot keep track of the nonsense you spout, can you?There's just a gulf in class here - you need to up it, pronto.

Disappointing.

What about sigh right, telescopic extensions, laminated tips, Aramith balls, table heaters, or.......

Stay away from the Acuerate stuff. Pretty popular here in France andf Belgium but poor quality to me. I've had several in hands and they don't last in time.....Shaft is poor, splices not even placed and not fo same length, badges tend to go white out after a couple of years (writing disappears)......all this for £500. Thanks but no thanks.

A friend of mine has a Predator Blak 3. Paid an awful lot of money, over $1000 I think, but he swears by it.
