    mezz stanard shaft

    I've used all versions of mezz standard maple. from no logo, to logo on 1 side, logo on both sides, and the new one which states the joint on the logo as well. My least favourite is the newest gen. 1st gen is whippy, with a 13mm ferrule - generally ok untill you put some power in over a long...

    JacobyBlack V4.

    Ironically, i modified it with a wood + juma combination and couldnt be happier. got it playing to where i like it, plus the feedback of the shot is firm now & not mushy. I'm sure micarta or IV3/4 works just as well. did you follow the same dimensions for the original ferrule for the micarta...

    JacobyBlack V4.

    It's a shame the 12.3mm plays very differently from 11.8mm. Shaft has a very mushy tip even with a hybrid max tip installed. feedback is relatively muffled.. i will be changing it out to a juma ferrule and V-tek pad. Not only that, the joint size is oversized by a noticeable difference for...

    Core or Not to Core : Curly Redwood

    What are the standard sizes for cores? I was taught with 16mm, i've seen many production cues use it too..

    Core or Not to Core : Curly Redwood

    Had one that was already undersized for a forearm, since rosewood is generally stable and "crisp/hard" hitting, i thought that might have balanced it out. i think? it was siamese rosewood. 16mm. Also, i have a capped joint. Elforyn.
