tip technology - hardness at center different from hardness at edges

you can cut them to any size for a customer. your pants don't come in one size and you have to resize them.
Yes, but to individually cut each tip that you sell to a customer based on a mic'ed shaft radius (which will always either be a little over or under and will need to be burnished in etc, you're going to be spending close to what you would to have an installer do it for you properly anyways, so it just doesn't make sense.

Peanutbutter... Mystery Cue...

I definitely prefer the linen wrap over leather but please update us when you get the cue back. Id love to see the difference after the refinish.
I hate the feel of new (modern) linen, it lacks the tack and compactness of the old school Cortland or even vintage braided dacron.

I know of one maker that has a stash of the really good old stuff but he will only use it on select cues and it's only green spec.

So sadly I naturally head toward leather wrap vs new linen.

AI (Artificial Idiocy) invades 3-cushion books

Can you post a page or two? Curious how bad it is.

Is this book one of the ones for sale in that $6000 lot? ;)

When you get there click on the kindle link for more sample pages.

Interesting that right after the fundamentals the next topic is kisses. I always thought that kisses and their avoidance was a more advanced topic. Maybe that's why I have the screen name that I do.

ZLuc shafts

Any idea how they stand up to brand names? i am eyeing a shaft for a Meucci cue, but the Meucci price is something I am not ready for yet....
I'd say it's unlikely that someone here has one of those shafts, but who knows?

If you are in the U.S., order one of the ZLucs off of Amazon and try it out. If you don't like it, send it back.

I would bet that they are a lot like the OKhealing CF shafts, which are not bad. Either way, it probably plays fine, but you might need to replace the tip with something else.

Basically, I would think the Rhino and Raven shafts at $199 would be a bit better than this, but not sure it's $60 better. Price for performance, I'd probably look at the Raven Pro or the Rhino MUST for $259.
