Yeah, it's all relative. Its what you're comfortable with. I have found that the higher you go in price, the more difficult it is to find a buyer to resell unless it's perfect shape, no flaws, etc. The group of people buying these cues are the top 1% of the 1% of pool cue collectors. You have to make sure the cue is very desirable.

I played with Jacoby Black's (V3 and V4) and loved it but had to buy multiple shafts in different pin types so I could play the same style shaft on different cues.

A good friend let me play a couple of racks with their Triple 60 and I got to play around with the joint system which was radically superior to the Bull joint style, and it won me over.

Now I have two 30" 11.7 playing shafts and one 29" break shaft and about 15 adapters for every type of pin in my cue collection (except for 3/8-12 they don't make that pin).

It hits amazing, both firm and crisp and transmits cleanly back to the butt and your hand, and it's super easy to replace tips.

If you have to have a small batch custom maker CF shaft try either the Wheat State or a ICE. Both are very similar to the Jacoby/Triple 60 but lack the joint interoperability.

That’s a pretty colorful analogy, but I get what you’re saying. At the end of the day a lot of things can get you to the same destination, the difference is in the experience along the way and what someone is comfortable paying for it.

I guess I wouldn't have started a discussion about Tascarella cues if I was completely comfortable with the price. I've been around the block a few times when it comes to production and custom cues. I've probably owned 50-60 cues, maybe more. The most I've comfortably spent is $3K. Maybe I'm looking for confirmation on if buying a Tasc is a good idea....

Once you break the 5k barrier you think you will never spend more.

Then suddenly your dropping 10k and then 15k and we'll your start seeing things.... differently.

Looking for a new carbon fiber shaft, and I'd like to buy from a custom maker instead of the big name brands. For your Schön, what has been your favorite custom shaft? Specifically, what has felt the best on your Schön? If replying, could you please describe the hit and why it's your favorite shaft?

Ultra low deflection wood shaft suggestions are also welcome.

(Yes, I realize it's all personal preference. Just looking to get a pulse of what's most popular on the custom CF market.)

I thought about making an offer for the Golden Tascarella but the added cost of buying it legally because of CA’s ivory ban drives the price up over $20k. I have to keep reminding myself it is only a pool cue and I already got a bunch of pool cues.
But it’s a cue that’s so handsome it could be enshrined in the Pool Cue Hall of Fame if such an entity existed…”Tascarella”.

Hello. I just received a Jacoby black v4 12.3mm 29” shaft with the butt purchase maybe 10 days ago. Shaft is unused. I am shooting with roasted maple/kielwood currently. Retail w/out sales tax is $475, but I am open to a lower price. Let me know if interested.
