Yea, seeing if anyone has a used or generic. 25 plus 25 shipping

Yes, I need just the bumper for an original thread, not the quick release, their website has them a bit over 50 after taxes

I Only need the bumper.

I purchased an extension for my Jacoby, but need an extension ready bumper for it. Checked their website and the bumper costs more than the extension I bought. Checking to see if anyone has a cheaper option for a jacoby original extension bumper (not the quick release). Thanks.. or if anyone...

Does Anyone have a threaded bumper for extensions for a jacoby cue? Doesn't have to be new, just don't want to pay the crazy jacoby website price. I have an aftermarket bumper but it doesn't fit the original jacoby extension threads. Thanks

I also use ultraskin. The soft is softer than the pro, the pro is closer to medium. If you want softer, go with the ultraskin ivory soft, it's the bounciest of the bunch, or they have a super soft in black.

Just looking to get some insight. Has anyone played with both and have a comparison or opinion? Specifically in relation to deflection, soft/stiff hit, shaft flex and overall feel.

I didn't realize they weren't normal. I figured it was because I've owned shafts at those specs, the meucci pro for example is 12.5, 14 inch taper. Is there a way to achieve that size tip with a longer pro taper that is not prone to warping?

I've always wanted to try one but haven't got a chance. What is the hit and feel of a whippy shaft?

Thanks for the input. I only ask so much because you guys do amazing work and I don't have the knowledge to know the extent of the possibilities. Im just asking to see what is possible. I feel like the specs are pretty normal. When it boils down to it, I just want two shafts, one stiff and one...

Very interesting and informative. Couple questions. What would you look for when finding a softer wood that would play lively? Would you look at grain and growth rings, or is something else an indicator? What specs would you think to use for a shaft I described? Maybe a 30 inch shaft, 12mm, 17...

Would any of things that make a wood softer, or have less spine, inherently lead that shaft to have more deflection then a shaft that has the same specs but with more spine?

I'm thinking of getting two, mostly identical shafts made. Solid maple, no splicing, 3.8 oz, 12.4mm, 29 inches, pro taper. I'd like both to be a lively, in terms of vibrational feedback, as possibleThe only real difference I want is for one to be stiff and one to be whippy. How exactly would you...

Does the flex soely come from the diameter

Can you elaborate on the wood coming into play, admittedly I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject.
