For some reason I've always liked these Hueblers. Traditional. Also the brown bumpers.

Nice!

I love to see a Schick come up!

And that is a damn fine example.

Rocky Tillis used to check out old house cues that have been in use for years. He would buy them from the pool room when he found ones that met what he was looking for. He then cut out the part with enough meat and turned them down for shafts. He made me a sneaky Pete one time and I got to admit it was one of the best playing cues I ever owned.

I was just thinking about this and found it interesting. Rocky was an interesting guy. I used to talk for hours with him when I'd be in Tampa and he would be at Baker's pool room. He always had stuff in his pockets and some new interesting idea for a joint or ferrul or something.

I remember the joint on that sneaky Pete was different in some way. I just can't remember exactly what whether the screw was in the shaft or what.
I came back to add this, I do remember one thing, the steel joint, even though it was a sneaky Pete it had a steel joint, was only about a half an inch long.

I like the wrap with that design.

No offense, but that should have a brown bumper.

Love the cue!

Thank you very much

What is it with the men that they think they should coach on even the easiest and obvious shots?
I’m not sure about Grabe but I know Fu was a world champion. And Szewczyk is all over Hiraguchi and I don’t remember him doing anything except choking in the past. I’m done

Racking?

That's why I have children.

Apparently that's why he did too...for a minute.

I have yet to play with kielwood shaft but it's on the list. I have some wood to build a couple of cues, when that happens I will probably have at least one kielwood shaft built.

EDIT: I've heard they hit very similar to older wood shafts.

have no idea what older wood shaft but if you are referring to really old growth then I get the concept of what kind of feel or hit you might be saying. just letting you know I don't have any experience hitting with one.

anyway, just sharing my experience with kielwood since receiving mine early this month. mine is a hybrid kielwood with a CF insert. it is very straight with no signs of roll. I'm not sure about the numbers or the level of low deflection it has but I can attest that it is really low deflection. I had a buddy of mine have a try for it and loved it very much. mind you he didn't have any idea what a KW or didn't know he was using a kielwood. all he knew he was using a dark brown colored shaft. he was eyeing it all game long.

Mine was bult by one of the million guys that own a cuelathe
