How many 'JL' inital makers are there?

That's the reason I don't make cues- i would hate my logo, and now I can't even use it

I have 2 and they fit my Joss fine, the only issue I had was screwing it into my balance -rite extension

Cool. I have a few fancier green labels, also gold, and silver. I have some older 1960s and early 1970s Mali cues too, with the Mali River label. I usually let those early ones go to a buddy that collects early Mali.

I think that first one you posted is listed by an AZB member.

I don't take my Joss on my Harley. If I'm going to shoot pool on my bike, it's a 1982 Mali in the case. Beautiful cue. Great player. Minty, not a scratch on it.

I have almost the entire M-series, with all my Guns in air-condition and heated storage. I don't know if they are a AZB member or not, if I see cues you may like on eBay and the prices are not ridiculous I will post them for you. The cue with the mother pearl in the butt, is nice looking cue, I really like the design. I also wouldn't take your Joss out on your Harley, and those Malis are perfect carry for rides

I have just a bit of advise to add. BUY SOME THUMB SCREWS! Lol.

Are you going to match the ring on the CF shaft ?

Click to expand...

Haha thanks for the kind words and support.

Not sure if I care to match the ring on the cf shaft yet. First time building a shaft and just want to get it together minimally and see how it plays because I know I am going to want to tweak a bunch of things before I call it good.

If it's not a total crash and burn by the end, I'll throw the cosmetics at it like matching rings to the ferrule.

Great looking cues, and nice photos. I really love that series of Mali Cues. Green label Malis like yours were made in the 1970s, and are beautiful playing cue. I have bought and sold many of them overs, like you love them.

Here are some very nice ones of the same series with inlay on EBay.

I'm in the process of making a carbon fiber shaft that'll be way less gaudy, I'll throw that up soon.

I don’t know anyone here that doesn’t appreciate your effort and wish you all the best.

No chance in hell he played the point lol but do the right things and you earn your own luck

Nice job. Looks good. It was done for fun. Where did you get the acrylic blank?

Some woodworking shop by my house had a bin of scraps. I found a couple long and wide enough. I assume there's stock somewhere around, but it's not cheap from what I recall.

I am seriously thinking about a Bulletproof medium now. I thought about it in the past, but this thread has pretty much summed up the problems/inconsistencies with leather tips. You might have put the nail in the coffin for me. Ill go check out the synthetic tips. Thanks

Click to expand...

I don't think you will be disappointed, I have tried at least 10 different tips before settling on the Recoil tip, I didn't just put on a tip and cut it off a day later, even tips I didn't like as soon as they were installed, I would give them at least 2 months or more, if you are looking for a tip that STAYS consistent and hits the same from tip to tip the Recoil is the way to go, I have never used the medium Recoil tip but I know the Recoil hard tip plays this way, worst thing that could happen is you hate the tip cut it off and continue your search, If I decide to try another tip I always give it a couple of months, I have no plans on using another tip at this time, best tip I've ever used.
