    Predator Z Want to know before I buy

    Yes it is so darn narrow. I guess Im getting deflection at times when I dont intend for that to happen. I wonder if I can get it in a larger diameter. Im probably not gonna find that though. My stroke I would say is about 4 inches, longer on draw. If I get one and dont like it after 40 days...

    ATROX cue tool, product review..(long)

    I got mine on Friday. I agree its small but it does the job real well. Shapers are top rate. Burnisher hole is wonderful. The fangs are small but it was easy to hold to work the tip. Havent tried the wrap press. I dont have a linen wrap. Where did it say about a life time warranty? Its not on my...

    Predator Z Want to know before I buy

    Im interested in the Predator z shaft but Im not yet sold on the narrow taper. Who has one? How much of a difference was it to adjust to it? I have a 314 now. But Im seeing more of the better players using it. Is it frustrating to adapt to? Is it easy? What are the pros and cons? Any help would...

    Diamondback products?

    I tried many tips on my different cues this past year. I got a diamondback layered tip on my schon cue and my Joss cue. Its hitting pretty good on both. Im getting alot of reaction on the cue ball. As far as their other stuff, I only got the wrap cleaner and the shaft system. Both of those...

    DIAMONDBACK Stuff

    Maybe Im wrong about this. I'll go get my JOSS cue today and go get a sniper put on it. I'll give it yet another try. I have an older Pred 314 shaft I can put it on. But what is the KEY of doing it right? Every cue reapair I've seen even at the shows put in on the lathe and use the tool...

    DIAMONDBACK Stuff

    Jack & Dan, your cases didn't even make the list. "Its about quality Jack Justis cases I think ARE THE BEST. I used to have one. Sold it for almost what I paid for it. His craftmanship is indeed far superior to anything out there. As far as production ( mass cookie cutter) Instroke has the...

    DIAMONDBACK Stuff

    If you really think predator makes the best cues hands down, you're *sorely* mistaken You are right. I was wrong in saying that production things are the end all beat all. I have a Dufferin Sneaky pete. And yes , each person is different in wanting a cue that has a good feel for just them...

    ALSO, can anyone tell me why people are putting carbon composite spacers between the tip and ferrule? What in the world is the benefit in that. I heard its just primarily on break cues.

    DIAMONDBACK Stuff

    Thank you klopek. You seem like a decent fellow. Predator has THE best technology out there, period the end. They spent ALOT of money and research and engineered the concept. It just looks like to me the diamondback people are on the same track with their stuff. Heck, some of there stuff...

    Smoking ban in Houston.

    I cant believe it. Im a smoker. While there are the few DIVES around here that can be very smoky and as a smoker it can be a little bad at times, I feel it should up to the individual business owners NOT city council! Guess I will just have to start my own team out of my house next session.
