No, I recently picked up the fancier one, the Rebel Red. The color is awesome in person-

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

You are fancy.
I break with all my cues, including the Becues.
If you can't break with your playing cue, throw it away.
Sounds good, thanks.
Was just wondering if anyone had experience with the Kamui on the Becue since those are offered and in different types, including SS. If the carbon fiber doesn't change feel or performance in some way then I'm likely going medium or soft on a Prime II but all insights most welcome!
Here is a link to some Becue reviews from way back when in the time machine.
I tried both of those tips, I thought they would be similar but they are not, they Kamui Athlete felt like a traditional medium to me, the TAOM Fusion is much harder, I never liked hard tips but I always like to give a new tip at least a 2 month try, after a while I grew to like the hard tip but neither of these tips lasted to long for me but I acknowledge I'm hard on tips, they usually don't last long for me, went with a Bulletproof Recoil Hard tip, best tip I've ever used.
I have not put a Kamui on the Becue, but I played with Kamui black hard for years. In my personal experience, a given tip has performed the same for me on wood, CF and Kielwood shafts.

Thanks, I have a Kamui soft on a cue and like it and just decided to go that direction. So . . . was on the fence about the colors and kept coming back to the NBN all black, just in case got the weight kit and it was discounted a little, Prime II and I'll have a black leather wrap - never done that before but I've gone back and forth over trying that and decided to pull the trigger (also have a little bit of an issue gripping too far back and that will be a reminder, I guess). I'm very interested to get acquainted with it if it gets here before Xmas and I think it has a chance, otherwise between Xmas and New Year's I have some family time/time as well - good time to hang out at my table. Merry Christmas to me, haha.
What joint did you get?
B-loc was the only one.
I guess I was looking at the shafts where you have a choice of joints.
I figured they would have came out with butts with different joints by now.
I have the original butt with the Titanium B-Loc joint.
At least on this one B-Loc was it, but sounds like yours has served you well.
I looked at the Becue website and it looks like the butts only come in the B-Loc.
I've played with a couple of different CF shafts and settled on the Becue a couple of years ago - by far my favorite - I use a Kamui soft on it as well and this will prob be the combo I use until I stop playing - been very pleased with it. (Still miss way more than I should - but that's the archer, not the bow!).
Just an FYI for anyone else, the B-Loc is now stainless steel - nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's interesting they were first made of titanium. I assume without knowing it became stainless steel to keep costs down but that's a wild guess only.
Rats - hadn't heard anything since my order so I reached out via email. Prime II's are now out of stock so they are waiting on material and hope to have some shafts made it in the next few days. I've got all winter to wait, lol, but had held out some hope it would be here for use during the holidays. I was happy with the promptness and information provided by them in response. Taking that as a good sign.
Same here.
My Natural Born Naked was ordered about three weeks ago. I emailed Maggie at Becue on Monday and she explained that they were waiting on carbon fiber tubes.
Maggie thought that they would have them by the middle of this week.
My cue was supposed to be presented to me at my retirement party, that happened last Monday.
Due to the fact that the cue had not arrived in time my organization bought me a Cenergy Propel Jump cue, SVB Ghost cue to tie me over.
Funny thing is I am not a Carbon fiber or a jump cue guy
Having said that, I am really looking forward to playing with both cues.
She now thinks the tubes will be in within the next 48 hours - must have had a lot of orders, but also must not have real time tracking of inventory with orders - no biggie.Same here.

I have spent a fair amount of time in Italy over the last five years. I was curious what part of the country these were manufactured at.
After studying Google maps I noticed that the Becue factory shares a wall with a company that produces carbon fiber products of many kinds, including tubes.
I am not a betting man but it seems likely that the company next door may be where they could get there tubes from.
