Nice, I guess this makes the cue more forward balanced?

I have a question given you seem to have a variety of shafts. Could you share which of the cf shafts you have comes the closest to the deflection of the 314-2? Thanks

The SMO and the Revo are about the same and closest to the 314-2.
With all 3 I play the same with no adjustments, if there are differences, they are negligible (I play on 9ft tables with 4.5 and 4.25 inch pockets)

Having been to large convention centers in Palm Springs where the summer temps are 110-124 day time.... Only swamp coolers were used.
Wondering if this area uses swampers in the event/convention areas?

Product.



Seriousy. Hopefully Diamond will have a solution for you.

I think it's no Joss cue is not good among the ones that are always not imported from China.

So you are saying it's all about the Not?

Growing up my favorite at home was a 15 oz. no name house cue among the ones we had. Played with it so many hours over the years it would drive me nuts if I was at a pool hall or bar trying to find the lightest cue they had. Had friends with nice two piece cues in cases they carried about, didn't like them at all. Two things: I wasn't good enough for it to have made any difference, but . . . the feel made a big difference to me.

Reported for clarifying. But seriously were you saying no not or not no?

Failing to find the issue.

Is the problem its an "oval" vs a "diamond"?

Insides of the "D"s should have the same fill and finish as the rest of the black areas. No idea how that is done by Diamond, maybe insert of some kind?

But to the OP, the easy answer remains, take a pic, call Diamond, ask who you may send it to, send it, see what they say are the options.

Haven't had a warranty issue, doubt if I will, but based on some customer service interaction recently when I purchased my new McDermott, I'll give a thumbs up to McDermott - excellent! 50th Anniversary is one darn fine cue!

With one warranty issue a few years ago, but just customer service in general, big thumbs up to Schmelke. I have several, because Schmelke seemed a good option for filling out my rack when I finally got my table up and running years ago, and really enjoyed him visiting with me personally about my needs/options.

With a custom maker and a minor issue with a cue that had it needing to be returned for a minor and quick "fix" - Pat Diveney, super guy.

@Fast Lenny
i agree with your premise
the number of people who appreciate and will buy classic cuemaker cues is diminishing
thats why in 2019-2020 i sold off my collection

I thought it would be here when I woke up, you know, like Santa . . .
