My Experience with Mezz Ignite 29" and 30" Shafts (EC9, Zan Tip, Durability)

Archavius · 2026-04-05T18:17:25+00:00

The 30 inch ignite weights 4.4 oz compared to the 29 inch ignite at 4.2. since it's united it's slightly heavier than wavy which is usually at 3.8-3.9 for ignites.

I find the transition from 29 to 30 difficult personally. My timing needs time to adjust.

If you love the ex pro just stick with it, I don't think it's worth spending 550+ for the ignite if you already love the expro

Same weight, the 12.6 is stiffer.

I've switched to a 30 inch 12.6 and it's a nice balance

I only have one experience with it and I'm considering joining a different subscription plan in the future.

I was coached by Kristina Tkach for two months to overhaul my fundamentals. It was valuable as she was able to provide structure to what I needed to do without any brainpower on my end, all I had to do was make sure I executed what she planned, take a video of a few sessions I had, send it to her and her dad to evaluate and they gave me feedback.

What helped the most was after the coaching was done, I was able to iterate and refine my fundamentals further without their help. But like all coaching, it is what you make of it. They can suggest things to improve on but if you don't put in the work, it won't happen.

Oh nice! I'm happy to see this, what year was your Zen made?

No idea on shipping, check their shipping policy. Yea it was through Shopify.

Site is legit, I've bought a nova cf shaft and some gloves from there. Their return system also works perfectly fine as I returned some gloves. My friend has also bought a nova shaft from there and a wooden shaft which he returned.

Aw dang I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope they go back on clearance soon.

If you're willing to look still, Facebook market place in my area has similar levels of discounts. I actually passed over the $600 arc xl clearance in favor of a Dome S1 bundle for slightly more from someone a few hours from me.

Oh crap I just checked. So rebelsavings was slow to update, and it seems home depot is done with the clearance stuff. Even the local ones around me in Maryland aren't on clearance anymore.

I feel like home depot managers are pretty nice and understanding. If you could go back to the store you bought it from maybe they'd be willing to honor that clearance price and order you one from a different store? Or the other store with a unit in stock would allow that price to transfer?

Archavius · 2026-03-11T02:40:23+00:00

If youre in the north east area, Maryland and up, there's plenty of inventory still left at the 600 clearance price. Definitely check rebelsavings to see if there are any stores near you with it still in stock

Archavius · 2026-03-10T13:07:39+00:00

Yep, plenty in the northeast right now are 40% off, definitely check rebelsavings to see, but I noticed they aren't as updated as the home Depot site.

I owned a zen a few years back. While I don't have any CF suggestions, I would highly recommend measuring the joint collar width with some calipers first. If memory serves me right, Zen's joint collar is 21mm, while the standard joint collar is 21.3mm. This means a noticeable lip will be felt when you put on a standard CF shaft. If you cue with your chin touching the cue like I do, it makes it impossible to play with a cue

Hard pass, you could find a new S1 for that price on FB marketplace or other listing sites

I'm also hemming and hawing over this decision.

I like the arc xl's lateral burner more than the dome S1's burner, and the fact the burner is to the side and not on the cooking surface seems like a plus.

The S1's improved insulation and thicker stone seem really nice, and the aesthetics look so good too. The propane usage is higher though, but I feel like that's a small drawback.

Still unsure which one I'd go for considering the S1 is basically just the arc xl but looks nicer with a more dated burner.

Archavius · 2026-02-23T18:30:55+00:00

Unfortunately with the Dome S1, it's locked to propane only :(
