Terry, I recently purchased the 180 day Premium Pass. I do have access to the Derby City Action Room correct ?

Unless it's a one of a kind or stupid sentimental, I am not sure it'd ever be worth the time and money to try and disassemble a cue, hoping to un-warp it.

When cues warp, it's not because the joint gets tweaked or bent, it's because the wood was affected by moisture and has stressfully warped into a new shape. At this point, it's pretty much kaput.

It's probably possible, but the amount of time and money to do it, just buy a new cue.

Seems there are 3 schools of thought.

1 - Dead/Angry/wasted money racking for Fedor
2 - A chance to meet and play on the same table as one of the greats of the game

Or the third, and I have relayed this perspective in a discussion about CJ.

If it were me, the price of 1 bill buys the story.

Looks really nice. Hope it plays for you as nice as it looks.

Some brands here in Asia make a KW shafts specifically for breaking. Could be cored, maybe not. Not really looked into it. I have used my Hayakawa KW playing shaft to spread them, but only MR format. Used it both with original LBM ferrule, and the Melamine ferrule I replaced it with. Did a suitable job. Didn't feel anything other than slightly more flex than my Ignite G shaft. I wouldn't use it for breaking head on, more for the integrity of the wood joint than the shaft itself. I broke two or three of the Mezz DI shafts at the joint before I switched to ignite G.

Accessories:

My GC4 came with a brush from the prior owner. I never used it once. A vacuum is way better.

Between vacuums I use a sticky lint roller. Takes 30 seconds and gets the job done for little things that land on the table.

Don’t waste money on the Simonis X1. It’s useless.
