Pia Filler hates wood shafts

i got cues and shafts that are from top makers over 50 years old. they have been in many states from hot and humid to 30 below zero. in hot sun in cars and even getting wet. all are dead straight. some have never left the car. oh and they are made of wood. and tips that i have no idea of whose they are.

and after 5 minutes with a different stick i cant tell the difference in my play. and if you can your mind is not on the shots.

I carry 6 cues in my case. I just started using a KW shaft last October. It happens to only fit one of my cues (radial pin).
The other 5 cues are 2 different big pins. I just borrowed a KW shaft that will fit 3 of my other 5 cues. You can definitely tell the difference in the 3 cues using the borrowed KW shaft and all of the butts are the same weight. The radial pin cue using a KW shaft absolutely feels different from the other 3 cues. It’s like tasting wines. There’s subtle difference in the hit and feel of different cue makers and of course, even builders of only KW shafts. And some days you have a different favorite cue than the last time you played. KW shafts are a great combination of LD and all of the uniqueness of wood that so many of us like.

Gold Crown 4 Pocket Rebuild

P
Finally got around to finish the table. Did it in the living room (my wife is very happy its done).. Made four jigs with the correct angles then I hand sawed the openings before glueing on the subrail extensions. Used the same jigs for cutting the rubber. Everything was done by hand expect the jigs that where made in a miter saw. Was aiming for 4' but got 3.9'.

Its thanks to this subforum that I got all the information needed to do a good job. The table plays amazing. Went with 140° and 13° down in the corners and 112° and 13° down on the sides. The only problem now is that I want to fix all the other tables in my area that my local cloth stretcher has butchered..
