    why is it too hard to find 17oz cue?

    I don't know how I found this thread, but it caught my interest. So I have four P3 cues and figured I'd weigh them each. Here's a picture that shows their balance point (the position of the joint protector). The weights (with end plug and all weight bolts out) are: 13.3 oz (Red) 13.4 oz (Grey)...

    WTB: Predator 5k8

    Looking for Predator 5k8. I'd like a clean cue, as much as possible at least. I don't care if there's a shaft - butt only is ok. Thanks in advance. John

    Speaking of jump cues, the big boy comes out Tuesday

    I did a side-by-side test between my Air 2 and BK Rush+ (j/b). The Rush jumped better, so I kept it and sold the Air 2. Even if the Rush Air jumps better, it's probably not an upgrade that I would appreciate as the BK Rush+ jumper does the job for me. Maybe I'll buy one in a year or two off the...

    The need for joint protectors?

    The only reason I use them is because I wouldn't be able to pull my gear out of my JB Case otherwise. They are in there tight and I need something with a ridge to grab. The uniloc joint pin is too smooth. My old Schon pin was easier to get out.

    Help!

    Unfortunately, you'll probably have to go out and hit a bunch with different cues and shafts. I played with a 314-1 for about 10 years on two different Schon butts. Each played slightly different. One had a firmer, harder hit. Same shaft! Then I took a break. I came back earlier this year and...

    New Break Cue wanted

    I'm considering selling my Mezz Powerbreak Kai with Deep Impact II shaft. Shaft has a White Diamond tip. Kai is black with sport wrap. Overall condition is 9.7/10. There are two very small (pinhead size) chips/scuffs in the clear. One on the forearm that can be felt with a fingernail but is...

    My experience with 7 carbon shafts so far

    I'll have to try the Jacoby sometime. I just bought a Revo 12.4 with stock Victory Soft tip and a Cuetec Cynergy with a Kamui Clear Black Soft. I played with both on a P3 butt. The Cuetec was too soft and springy. It also felt a bit too small, like a toothpick. Coming from a 314-3, I had...

    Racking Template?

    I use these, they work just fine and they're cheap, so if my kids fold one or a cat eats one, I just grab another out of the envelope they came in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PSPFVP1

    What is a good break cue?

    I bought an Action break/jump cue from PoolDawg and had a White Diamond tip installed. It breaks really well. I think it was about $125 out the door. I also bought a Pure X HXT cue for bars. It was only $160ish. It plays nice and has a stiff taper. But it has a Kamui soft tip standard. It also...

    1st post and need a new shaft

    Welcome! I have not experimented deeply in this area, but the consensus seems to be that smaller tips provide more english on the ball, so it's easier to get out of shape or throw the object ball when you don't mean to. That said, if you don't use extreme english, then the smaller tip probably...

    Mezz Cue ZZ-36

    Mine was supposed to be 19oz, but I weighed it at 18.4. Two thumbs up for Mezz construction and wood selection. Very nice cue. I agree with others that the linen is slick. I was going to treat my ZZ32 with something like wax paper, as suggested in this post...
