What will help your break though?

I don't know. Been wondering this for years and years and years.

An exorcism, perhaps?

Interesting. Would have been interesting to hear what it sounded like hitting the CB, rather than dropping on the table.

Here it is...Rhino, Raven and custom woood shaft. Higher frequency definitely Rhino and that is with a Medium tip. Good quality wood shaft with Talisman hard has a higher frequency than the Raven which the sound is slightly dampened no ping from the foam fill. Here is an overlay chart of the sound recordings. I will also post links to the sound of each. I chose to shoot at a medium hard speed against the rail across the table. If you hit balls it is hard to focus on just the sound of the shaft hitting the cueball. I also posted links for the sound of each shaft.

I am building a Kielwood shaft for a Carmeli cue and trying to match the rings. Any idea what materials are used?

I don’t have a picture of the cue right now, but same as this but with cocobolo. Rings are the same though.

Experimenting with some phenolic.

Something else that crossed my mind. You might try Prather. They might have prefabbed ring billets.
Just a thought.

Yes he had a great one. Especially the James White ebony

Nothing really in particular. Most of these I got when buying old tables. The only ones I really hunted out were the unturned ones.

What made you decide to collect titlist?
