Thanks for the break down vince, Been hearing a lot about these hybrids.

I brought one of there straight grain blanks, plays very nice and solid. Mine has a 1 inch ferrule.I wasn't interested in low deflection. Still plays stiffer than standard maple. Weighed 4oz.

I tried the linen from atlas, wasn't for me. If you are looking for an alternative. The Old fishing lines is one way of getting the feel of old school hand twisted linen. The trick is knowing what your looking for, cuttyhunk is a good place to start. The magic number is 9 thread and wet tested...

This ones been on here for a while priced at eight grand, Would you believe😂 one of those made with Jacoby https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/predator-panthera-nitara-gray-stain-maple-artist-proof-pool-cue-1-6.588669/#post-8518268

No worries, glad we both could help you out. Enjoy the cue.

Scott, you were a pleasure to work with. The cue turned out great. Well worth the wait😎 Thanks for letting me send you the blank and some of the other parts I tracked down.

That cue, was brought from a sports shop, and was displayed in the window. The butt then warped from sun light, years before he got it, I doubt he cared at that young age 12 or 13 i think he was. It was maple shaft too. So that likely wasn't too straight. That was the one he wanted, non of that...

I watched many of those dissections he leaves no stone unturned. In all these cheap versions. The interior is not what it reports to be. Virtually no protection past a couple inches.with a big gap at the bottom. Hence the rattling. Very often these prices are too good to be true.

The world pool league was there for many years 98 to 2003 i believe. That must have had an impact on the games popularity, there in the early years.

Your right its normally 15 minute break in snooker if your tip comes off. Sometimes if its been more than a couple frames, they will take the interval early.

That is just insane for a break cue. But I'm sure there will guys out there who insist its the worth the cash.

He some time posts on here too.

I managed to get hold of him through ebay about 3 years ago. For another shaft. He said he was retiring. And selling off his remaining cues. And that was it. I think he said, he was 80 at the time.

the andy not as fast in my opinion, it does feel different, The 760 is the fastest I've played on. Especially once its worn in a bit.

Lots of scam stories, been posted lately be careful. I would find one his threads. Send him a direct message. He is a frequent poster.
