I have 2 new shafts being made for two customs I own, one I said I would supply a Moori and pad for the tip instead of absorbing a $20 added cost for his Moori, the other shaft I opted for a Triangle(STD tip with a new shaft.) Question is: "Since I hit with one of these shafts of the maker and it had a Triangle and hit really well, would you go with the Triangle for a true apple to apple test drive for a before and after pertaining to the feel collected the night of the sale?" These are Predator copycats with some genuine changes, and if the results on my particular cues is even half as good as the test drive I made on the maker's cue that night, I'll be pleased. I was geared to send off one of my cues to the cuemaker and get a shaft made anyway, so basically this is a win-win on my part anyway you look at it,,,the second shaft was an impulse buy though.
I do install my own tips so a standard Triangle is not a problem, but the finished product being one of my Moori tips has the advantage of comparing this new shaft with the original shaft already equipped with a Moori H. Besides, it reduces my personal task of doing an install on a pristene, virgin ferrule. JUST possibly though the Triangle will play well even though I've been a Moori Hard tip user by choice for years.
Triangle install...compare the feel to the test drive on his cue. Moori, compare to the original shaft now in use. What would you do? I am leaning toward the original format of matching my main play cue with the Moori and the alternate cue, a Gilbert with the Triangle, but y'all might think differently. The Moori going on immediately will also be a tip I'll most likely never cut off for a change back to a Triangle latter unless it develops a problem of it's own.
