The custom cues from Taiwan are just as good as any other custom maker. The majority of them are modeled after SW and TAD. Go into most pool halls and you'll find various custom, SW, Tad, and Mezz available. I used to travel there for work and I can definitely say that the level of competition...

Leave it hollow.

You need to try some better quality butts. LOL

I've had multiple Mezz cues and while they are definitely the best production cue, they are still a few notches below certain custom makers.

Seriously, $170 for injection molded foam? That seems crazy to me and I am all for spending money on QUALITY footwear. Foam is insanely cheap and does not last very long.

All keilwood shafts should be cored with lignum vitae. 🙃

Makes no sense, rockwell machines are fairly cheap and the scale is universal. This should be a bandwagon that all companies jump on!

Tried it for a bit and went back to 11.8mm. Just didn't feel right to me for rotation games.

Excellent VHS, I still have my copy! Might be a tough sell since it's all on YouTube illegally, althought it's in short clips. Nothing can replace the VHS though, so much good content in there. I learned so much from it when I was young 👍

Did you know that there is no set scale for tip hardness, so one company's soft could be close to another company's hard! 😉

Do you apply anything prior to the epoxy base coat? How much time before the base coat if anything is applied? I believe I have my white bubble issue sorted out but I also use different products.

Not sure why I'm killing you, I'm simply trying to understand what he's referring to specifically. Everyone has their own interpretation of feeling versus value, and it's information like this that can influence my own construction. I agree with your statements 99% of the time 😉.

By "solid joint", are you referring to the fact that the shaft threads on tightly?

Seems like you should get the shaft first, review all the issues, then work with a cue repair person to try and have them resolved.

Beautiful cues!
