You’re certainly correct, I am familiar with that whether true or false. I also wore a dust mask when sanding the forearm of Titlist cue during a refinish. The earlier model Brunswick cue (26 1/2) didn’t have those veneers, it was replaced by the Titlist in the 1940s.
You're welcome. The dye industry is crazy, isn't it? For some time, the purple dye was unobtanium. Reminds me of what was it, red dye 9 or red dye 29, something like that? Unavailable for some time. Doesn't only go for dyes. About 1993, Rosewood was nowhere to be found. Available later. Then for some time, Ebony was short supply. Times are critical.
Is it nice? I considered an MIT Jump break to stick in my spare case (previously sold as Samsara X-breaker I believe). Can find them here for 100$ give or take. Three friends have this cue, and it's real good.
For now, a dedicated break has worked for me in game, and I trust the set-up I have.
It’s very nice, Mike’s work is the truth. He made me 2 shafts, one with his Anvil taper and one with his sledgehammer taper. Best break cue I ever had. Never had any kind of jump cue, much less a break jump. I prefer to kick, and haven’t used it to jump many balls, but it does it easily with either shaft although the Anvil taper shaft is the better breaker of the two for me.
If you have patience and skill, you can turn a regular white with green strand wrap into looking like Cortland. Both patience and skill. One without the other doesn't cut it.
My friend Ron was clocked at 26mph at SBE, I believe the formula is mass × speed = force, you can improve your break force by adding weight if you don't have good break speed.
I have a feeling this was the stock weight of my cue. I generally aim to break below maximum to preserve control. Probably around similar speeds listed here. I think 16/17mph was a sweet spot when I was putting work into this a while ago. I'll go back and check the data I collected then. I can hit them hard, but beyond dicking around, I don't.

Not only that, but you can play with another one, and it won't complain. You can watch tv, and leave the toilet seat up, and it won't complain. And, best thing, it doesn't take the remote away from you!
It's also missing the purple outer veneer. In all the years that Titlist's were made, the purple dye was available. There was a problem with it about 1990, unavailable. Probably caused cancer. It was brought back though. You can have a cuemaker do Titlist veneer colors today.
