USA Made Schmelke Custom Tavern or Break Cues--Tremendous Value!

Schmelke Mexican Bocote and Rosewood Custom. Schmelke is one of the great heritage American cue companies and suppliers of cue parts. I wanted to offer an excellent but inexpensive USA made cue with tremendous value. I asked Dave Schmelke to make these wrapless Mexican Bocote cues offered here to my specifications. I bought one for myself first to make sure I liked the cue. I had intended to use the cue as an inexpensive break cue. I found that I liked the cue as an inexpensive player to take for playing tavern pool that I could also break with. Bocote is a great hitting cue wood. East Indian Rosewood is also an excellent cue word with moderate weight.

These cues are 58" wrapless cues with one piece Mexican Bocote or East Indian Rosewood (aged over 40 years!) butt. The 13.25mm shafts are mostly clear and clean maple with 1/2" Juma ferrule and hard layered Kamikaze tip. The joint is flat-face 3/8-10 steel pin with .849-.850 joint size. There are black phenolic collars at the joint and buttcap with rubber bumper. No thin buttcap on Rosewood cues. The finish on the butt and shaft is a silky smooth satin UV urethane. No logo. Machined black USA made Delrin joint protector set included. Weight can be added to the cues. The price is $199.00 Goods and Services PayPal (or $193.00 Zelle) plus $28.00 shipping/insurance in the continental United States. Mexican Bocote cue currently available in the following weights in ounces (with shaft weight): 19.12 (4.09), 19.78 (3.85), 19.87 (3.94), 20.23 (4.58), 20.25 (4.05).

Carbon Fiber Hybrid with a twist.

From what little I know about snooker cues and to the best of my limited knowledge ash is very popular for building snooker cues so it probably is a good choice with that combination with African Blackwood .

Ok may of made a poor choice of words when I typed the word knock , for that I apologize , I also am a trusting sort so if a professional in this situation felt that it would be a quality cue and so its intended job very well I'd be more than happy to give it a fair trial run so to speak .

I've recently acquired a jump break cue made by Mike Gulyassy many years ago , I've tried other break cues which did break the rack fairly well but nothing like the cue that Mike built year's ago as it fit my style of play if you would why it is better I'm not sure other than it feels right in my hands which is good enough for me , your results may vary ha ha !
I get you, no need for the etiquette. White ash looks pretty good for the butt. It blends very nicely into a maple shaft.

Members know I'm a fan of hybrids rather than full CF shafts.
A navy vet from NC, Jerry H, had Phantom Hybrids make him a custom shaft from White Ash and African Blackwood to accent the black and white ebony of his cue.
It fricken gorgeous!! he said.
I'll post pics.
31", 12.4mm, 18" straight taper, 4.25 ozs of solid consistent hit and the ash provides excellent feedback. Jerry said English is easy to use as there's minimal deflection from the shaft. Point and shoot, he told me the shaft plays Phenomenal!!
If you're on the fence or going to spend coin on a CF Shaft, I highly suggest you consider a Hybrid first.
Vince is a solid guy. One thing you will quickly learn if you contact Vince is that you better get comfortable, because he will certainly not skimp on the details.
😎👊
