From a players perspective who has never bought a collectors cue: Shaft technology has changed, and may continue to change going forward. They are expensive, both wood LD and Carbon Fiber, so a players investment in his shafts can be considerable if they like to try new shafts. Perhaps there...

Ok, I understand, perhaps it can be your next and last cue?

Buy an all carbon fiber Becue and never have to buy another cue for the rest of your life. Cost about 1K, a few hundred more than you are looking to spend, but in the long run you will save a lot of money. Now you can focus on finding the tip you prefer and then forget about cues and practice...

I am not familiar with the Air Rush, never used one and know nothing about it. I had no idea what my Lomax weighed, although I have been using it for years now, saw this thread and weighed it just to add some info. I like my Lomax mainly because I am used to it, performs well for me, but I am...

Weights for my Lomax jumper... Shaft - 4.7oz Short handle - 2.8oz Long handle - 4.0oz

Congrats on the new Becue. I do not know anyone who has played a Becue that did not continue playing a Becue, very nice stuff!

Aging is not for the timid. Once the energy and confidence starts to wade, all you have left is your heart. I hope Earl gets out from everywhere in this invitational.

58" 20.4 oz for me because it just feels right, for me. Different strokes for different folks. At the height of Earl's javelin cue days it was 74" and 29 oz, and he was playing like, well like Earl with that monstrous cue. Like others have said in this thread, it's far more about your stroke...

Not using this butt or extension anymore so It's time to put it in the hands of someone who will. I bought this new, both pieces could pass as new today, no blemishes of any kind anywhere. Includes joint protectors for butt and extension. $375.00 and it's yours. Will ship to lower 48. Butt...

I will add this - A harder stroke is required to move the rock the same distance with a soft tip than with a hard tip. I think everyone can agree on that. Therefore, The soft tip will create more spin, not because of contact time, but because you are hitting the rock with increased stroke...

What creates more spin - A players confidence that he will not miscue while hitting the ball further off center axis with a firmer stroke. That's all I got from where I went to school.

Sorry, the cue has been sold. Thanks for your interest.

Many know that I am a big fan of the Becue. I have never played a cue that hit and played as well. So now I own three Becue's, obviously I only need one, so I will keep two and sell one :cool: . This cue does not have any scratches or blemishes of any kind. Of course everything is dead...
