    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...

    Problem with Schmelke longer cue stick uniloc system

    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”...

    Cue: wood and balance

    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...

    Longer cue uniloc

    Hi, Playing with 314.2 uniloc shafts + Predator Ikon (2nd generation), I am looking after a longer butt (62 or even 63") with an uniloc system. After many many searches on the web, I don't find this. How is it possible that the Predator industry doesn't manufacture longer butts? Thanks, Marc

    Longer cue

    I am looking for a cue of 62 (maybe 63) inches. I am playing with a rite extension, witch is well-playing but I think that it is preferable to play with a cue in two rather than three parts. As I am playing with standard (in lenght) uniloc 314.2 shafts, the butt has to be 5 or 6 inches longer...
