I haven’t read most of this thread, but a few of the post above were talking about if you added a carbon fiber shaft, it would put a price over $1000 for some Cues
But no one mentioned using a rhino carbon fiber shift, which is under $200

Rhino won't be the "best" option, it's a financial compromise...
You better save some money on the butt and get a better shaft. a $1000 budget will allow this.

Simple answer ~ McDermott, basic GS Series with maple shaft.
$400 +or - a little bit. Done deal. IMHO

they ask for the best option under a $1000 not just any option....

I have a Peri PB-04 butt and a Rhino shaft. plays fantastic I think. Fits perfectly. Real inlays. come with an extension. total is close to 1000$. If I wanted to spend less I could have go for a Konllen butt with the rhino shaft. I'm OK with chinese products.

Welcome
You can practice your stroke on a table in you house
Might be a little high
A chair with a couple books to get it closer to the right height
Most important is tried to groove straight back and straightforward
A strip of masking tape
To try to go over the center of it
I’ll give you feedback if you’re wobbly
Good luck with your game

Could anybody please help me, with what’s an approximate market value of one of these Aramith sets nowadays?



Thanks!

My new friend/neighbor has autism, he's pretty sharp.
Great parents and 2 brothers.
I call him "Sport", he he's at my house OFTEN. We were watching this when Bergman fouled.
He spewed some vicious words and mad as a hornet at the ref.
Tyler bumped the ball to fouled giving it back to Bergman.
sport went off again this time with joy and glee and a new found respect for his new hero, Tyler.
Sport moved in about 3 weeks ago and has given me a whole new outlook on life.
I'm 72 have severe COPD, and couple screwed up joints, ankle, knee, L shoulder, and basically I 've just been here with no purpose/enjoyment. This has all changed now because of Sport.
WE have joined a gym, walk the neighborhood with our dogs, and play pool at another neighbors who adores this kid as much as I do.
If Tyler comes through Birmingham I'll bring Sport to see him and get an autograph.
I hope Tyler has a couple strong body guards because when Sport hugs you it's tough to tear him away.
God Blees Sport, my new reason to go all out improving my health!

Interesting. My buddy had a 11.8 Cynergy and found that his new Mezz 12.2 had less deflection.

Don’t know about the 11.8 but vs the 12.5 the Mezz does deflects less but not by much, I find that using both requires the same adjustment to pocket a ball

The best cue makers respect the importance of balancing the weight of the shaft with the weight of the cue butt.
I’m not referring to the balance point of the cue but rather the weight ratio of the cue shaft with the overall weight.

Cues falling within that range overwhelmingly tend to be the cues pool players prefer the most, in my experience.
You don’t need years of cue building experience to emulate that approach or long periods of trial and error either.
