WNT Florida Open 2026, August 4-9, Orlando, Caribe Royale

Fedor surely can do as he wishes but I believe decisions like this is why he hasn’t been as competitive lately. Kind of disappointing in my opinion to miss a major tournament for this.

agreed. this shidd he can do in his off weeks, imo. if it's a tour then treat it as a tour.. but i guess the flip argument with a rational choice perspective is that the tour should pay better then

Worst Cue by a Revered Builder.

What is a dud?
It doesn't have a good sound, feel, playability, poor execution, bad design?
I'm confused.
Are we children? It doesn’t meet your expectations of paying 2-3k plus? I swear this site has lost any intelligence. Honestly my knowledge isn’t worth even posting to morons, who could care less about history, collectors, builders and the rest of what makes us non predator players appreciate our tools! Last post, I’m out.

Lower deflection solid maple shaft with Schon joint?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a lower deflection solid maple shaft, but definitely with a Schon joint? (not generic 5/16x14).

I really like the hit and feedback of the Schon shaft, but the deflection is epic. I have tried several laminated low deflection shafts, and they all hit too soft for me.

I'd be happy for a brand name shaft, McDermott and Tiger both do LD solid maple, they don't have Schon joints off the shelf, or a fully custom shaft if someone is making something special.

Alternatively, if anyone had a recommendation for a more modern cue (Radial, 3/8x10, etc) that hits similarly to a Schon I'd welcome it too.

Regards,

Ben

anyone else who's cue was lost or stolen

Long ago I developed the habit of taking my cue to the restroom with me. Keeping it beyond the urinal splash range was required. One evening a dirt bag thought I wasn't watching it as I pissed. He was mistaken. He put a hand on it, I immediately stated in a matter of fact tone, "You have a hold of a whole lot more than you want to F*** with." He immediately released and slunk out the door.

I also had the habit of wiping the shaft with a damp paper towel. First with a little soap and then a rinse swipe with water only. The finishing dry swipe yielded a nice squeak when done properly.
Did you aim and fire at the douche? I would have if my bladder wasn’t drained!
