Thanks for all those interesting explanations about this interesting question...

Even if I disagree partially with you (luckily, sa you say it 'It's a free world'), I much appreciate your professional response. Maybe, even if I did it, had I to insist more on the fact that I intended to split between their shafts and my Predator cue sticks, and thus insist on the fact that...

LOL End of thread.

Thanks for the links! Concerning the diameter, I greatly disagree with you. If someone orders a Predator shaft, they (not me) must take me pay attention on the fact that the diameter is not the same as ALL the Predator shafts that you can get anywhere else. Put it differently, the "Predator...

Thanks for this response but don't you think that if the customs is responsible , it is not the first time that Schmelke is confronted to this problem? He should have had enough time to resolve it?! As you can see it with my post of september 14th, David Schmelke agees to change the cue with a...

Hi Dave, I am from the French part of Belgium. I am aware (now) about the different joint diameters, but I specified from the begining that I wanted to be able to play with their 'Predator' shafts on my real Predator cues. It is easy to understand that even if their thicker uniloc shafts fit on...

I was waiting this question! Because he has maybe something else to do, considering the fact that it is working for free here, because, as it is explained in my first post, the cue is under warranty. And because I think that I will find people here able to enlighten me.

Hi, I finally received a response from David from Schmelke. He says: Marc, I have processed the H012 cue at the dimensions of a predator cue, with small cue butt profile. If you would specify if you would like the custom ring work or plain black with other cues. Thanks David I am not sure...

Hi, Getting to few answers to my questions on the ‘ask the cuemaker’ section (because it is maybe somewhat difficult for a cuemaker to speak about another cuemaker, even if it was not what I was asking for), I post my questions here. I play for years with Predator unilock cue sticks (one of...

Michael, I first said I wanted to order just the cue stick, to fit with My own predator shafts. They said to me that to get a 62" lenght cue, I had to play with 30" shafts instead of 29" ones. I could have ordered the shafts where the prices are MUCH less costly (Seybert, for ex or in Europe to...

Hi, I play for years with Predator unilock cue sticks (one of them is the 2K2, the other one is the Ikon 2.5) and uniloc shafts (29” length 314.2 and Z2). Because these cues are no long enough, I decided to order a custom longer cue at Schmelke company. To get a 61” cue+stick, I ordered a 31”...

The fault is obviously on YOUR side, sir! You put your hands on the table, what is strictly forbidden!

OK, thanks! Marc

Getting no response on the Products talk cue forum, I think that the reason lies in the fact that my questions are general. Looking for a longer cue, I wrote, as suggested by someone on this forum, to someone from Schmelke. They propose a real (REAL!) custom cue, since one can choose many...

Looking for a longer cue, I wrote, as suggested by someone on this forum, to someone from Scmelke. They propose a real (REAL!) custom cue, since I can choose many many options. Two questions: One of the options is the type of wood. They say: 'We could make this style cue butt in various...

I am looking after a 64" cue. Only one manufactory seems to do this: Schmelke Having played exclusively with 314.2 shafts, I am looking for a laminated shaft. 314.2 is avaiable only in 29 and 30" lenght. Here is a response received from a guy from Schmelke: I was just told we are getting some...

Hi, In your opinion, what is the best schmelke cue joint, and why? I like a forward balanced butt, but I read somewhere that their 'Joint #1 Classic Schmelke brass' (their most forward balanced they say) is terrible. Anyone having anadvised opinion? What about their uniloc joint? The...

Just took a look on their site. I didn't know these cues! The options are just incredible (weight, of course, but also lenght, many joints, uniloc included, etc.). What are the REAL (in quality, I mean) differences between all their models? Difficult to choose between the series and cues...

Thanks for thes rational explanations! Never played with this kind of cue. Furthermore, living in Belgium (Europe), il is difficult to buy a 'handmade' cue with confidence; there are so many factors determining the playability and the feeling. The lenght is important but the balance, thickness...
