Reconditioned shaft

[dquarasr]

I don’t have a question, but I would like to comment.

I’ve been using and liking a vintage Adams cue someone gave me.

The shaft had some minor dents and inconsistent finish based primarily on previous owners’ ill-advised “maintenance”.

My local pool hall has a cue sales and repair kiosk manned by a very experienced proprietor.

For the measly and incredibly fair price of $20 and 20 minutes, he reconditioned the shaft. It’s now smooth, silky, dent-free, and looks new. I love it. Feels like a brand new stick.

Moral of the story: there are still artisans out there. Respect and treasure them.

Sound like you got a lot of bang for 20 bucks spent.

Perhaps you should mention this guys name and the room he works out of. I bet he would appreciate it.

Those who play with shafts with dents often do not realize that a quality repairman can make it feel better than most did when new. Thanks for posting your positive experience.

I actually thought of shrimp first and then Vietnam and finally socks

Well I thought of Forest Gump’s Lt. Dan.

But I also though the shaft fixer was retired Lt. named Dan.
