So I use the same Triple 60 CF shaft across all my butts. So it doesn't matter if I swinging a Szamboti, Drexler or a Black the hit is very consistent. I've always run off the 80/20 rule. The shaft is 80% of the hit and the butt is 20%. The butt is about transmission of the hit to the hand and...

Nope they have absolutely no clue what it is, most think it's either a vintage Adam or one of those Chinese Balabushka things. Honestly I'm ok with this.

I hear you and understand but that sentiment just makes me so sad... These cues were built to play, it's why they exist except the new high-end peacock cues (looking at you black boar) and when we deny.them their purpose they loose what makes them special. I get so much enjoyment playing with...

There is a huge market for custom cues, just not at the inflated and unrealistic prices that most sellers think they're going to get. 20% to 30% profit is fucking nuts, and yet I constantly see people trying to get that above a reasonable/historical price daily. Case in point, I'm sorry but...

There are two Joss West merry widows in the for sale section, those would fit the bill perfectly.

You can find a used valley on Marketplace occasionally for under 500. Then you add ridgebacks and 860 HR and your cooking and still under 1k. Hard to beat that.

In 10 years 80% of degrees will be rendered mostly useless by advances in AI. IT, Quant Analytics, and most legal jobs will be gone as fields of employment. As will most entry level positions that required no specific skill or manual specialized training. Hell majoring in Billiards may not be...

When you say big pin is it a 3/8-12 or a 10?

This...

I break with a 58" wrapless Ebony nosed BEM full splice and play with a 59.5" EE wrapped cue. I can't break with a wrapped cue and I can't play with a wrapless.

I like this theory!

Yeah I love the thinly veiled implication in his post as if he knows fucking anything or anyone impacted by this...

Well I had one collector ask me to drive to their house, I declined.The other collector actually spoke with Joes wife and then every attempt at communicating since has been fruitless. So... Clearly I know more you.

Nothing against the Cornerstone's and Crossroad's of the world but anyone who consigns a cue with a third party is essentially giving their cue away. Even with a signed agreement you have very little recompense if that vendor files for bankruptcy or in the case of Joe, dies. Sell or don't...
