Love this cue, would look real slick paired with a revo :thumbup:
Great work.
Thanks a lot. Yeah I quess Revo shaft would look nice in the pair but short for my extra length cue. I'm more curious how will my future shaft play .

Great work.
Very Very Nice, I love the flow.
Any pictures of the shaft?
I would name it........... The Flamethrower.
Some pictures of the future shaft in progress.
On the joint end there is a phenolic insert where brass female sits with 8" carbon fiber tube. On the other end there is 7" carbon fiber tube. There will be no ferrule just T-shape pad sitting in the tube. We'll see how it works when is ready. Very curious about it but some patience is needed. I'm turning the shaft slowly but surely to the final taper. I quess two more turnings with some time between to try it finally in play.
Bad ass man should play pretty sporty.
Very nice looking cue.
As the co-inventor of the Uniloc and the one who named it I am pleased you have chosen to use it.

Beautiful cue! Definitely makes me want to look into making cues.
Thanks for your compliments. There were quite a few things I tried first time when I built this cue but I remember my teacher's favorite rule very good and it's simple as it could be.. "learning by doing". This is how I found what cue's length works the best for me for example. The video might be helpful for those such tall players as me who also feels the lack of the standard length cue and want to figure out what will fit them. Here you can see how 62' cue looks in hands of 6'5 tall man.Very nice looking cue. I'm not sold on the carbon fiber joint and butt cap but it looks pretty sweet. It also looks like it fits you pretty darn well in the videos you posted.

I’m 6’1 and play with a 60” cue and it fits me perfectly. Here is a video of me practicing with my 60” JMW(though I’m a big fat guy lol):

... There will be no ferrule but just T-shape pad sitting in the tube. We'll see how it works when is ready. ...
... And from now I'm a ferrule less fan ...
It's getting redundant, but cannot be said too often: very, very impressive cue! Construction, design, choice of woods, ... superb!
I'm in the process of making a cue for myself as well (a one-piece 60" hand spliced snooker/pool hybrid), but I'm not yet sure about what type of ferrule to use. Was also considering going ferrule less, which brings me to my question:
Could you share a little more information on that "T-shape" pad you used? Is it a cylinder with a smaller tenon that fits right into the shaft? If so, is it glued only, or threaded/screwed into the shaft? How far is the tenon going into the shaft?
If you had a picture of the pad before installation, that would also be lovely..
Thank you in advance!
