I liked a cue with a wrap when I was younger since it looked premium and different from the typical cues we have. nowadays, I prefer a wrapless one since I like how it feels and look. as far as playability, it doesn't make a difference for me.

I see. What I'm curious right now is the Bulletproof tips. But then again, for the price that I pay for Ultraskins, it's a hard sell.

do you like the SIB better?

I can only think of this is Spinal Tap reference of "this goes to 11".

I have an el-cheapo tip tool that I attached with a 60 grit sandpaper. found that better for spreading the chalk sticks more evenly especially on the top of the cue tip.

I think it is more of a naming scheme rather than having a real difference. the variance though is more towards quality control. with regards to a cf infused kielwood, I'm still doubtful on how much better or different it is compared to a regular cf shaft. there are just too many variable to...

Speaking of troubleshoot, I have the habit of shaking my hand and flexing my arm when I'm off my game.

I have a pad added for that purpose to save me from sanding the ferrule. As long as the tip sticks, it won't be problem. Have to replace my previous glue with a different one. Glue sticks like a mofo that I didn't even have to press it.

it does make a world of difference from my experience. a few of my fellow players observed me and wonder how can I go so low without miscuing. like I said, the only times I miscued was on a badly shaped tip. although I want to try a hard tip just to see how it goes.

that was I was thinking. I think it would be more forgiving using a soft tip for a dime size tip. I used to play with a nickel tip and transitioned to a dime when I went from a 13 to a 12.5 to an 11.5 tip. now, the only time that I miscued on most occasion using a dime shape tip is when I didn't...

I'm not judging considering products are now mainly outsourced from China. even more crazier is that companies are getting their supply from same chinese manufacturers and just stamp their logo in them after to sell at a marked up price. Same product, different brand. Of course, there are...

what tip hardness are you using?

I'm having a bit of a challenge of acquiring this wood and the italian olivewood and pricing, so I'm going for a Bocote if worse comes to worse.

they look nice to be honest.

played on a 7ft diamond barbox a couple of weeks ago with some very unforgiving pockets. threw me off my typical game especially with the banks. never got me self on the groove and have to change my style and strategy. in fairness to that experience, my pocketing improved significantly once I...
