it's not heavily promoted or well-known as the Cynergy. also, Cynergy built a solid reputation. if I were to choose between a well-known shaft and a not-so known shaft for the same price, I would choose the former. anyway, I don't have the Cynergy but opted for something different but atleast...

I did my research and have some friends that helped me along the way. it also helped to try out some of their cues, how they felt, what's the composition, balance, etc... from there, I narrowed my selection to 4. depending on what's available in their inventory.

truly said. it's like hunting for rare items. the question though is how much are you willing to spend, gain or lose from it. the appraisal value is also difficult to gauge. it's even more difficult now considering seller are trying to maximize profit even for garbage items.

not sure how different the Sniper is from the Onyx, but when I first broke it in, I was miscuing a lot and couldn't do the same stroke I've been doing with the Ultraskin Pro. I scuffed it meticulously just before playing with it again a few days ago. I rarely miscued and have done several draw...

I swear by the Ultraskin tips although not sure how different the Ivory is. I got 3 varieties of the Ultraskin. Med Fire, Super Soft and Pro. Pro is my favorite although I'm using the Tiger Onyx for awhile since it is installed on the Tiger Fortis Pro. the Tiger Onyx plays close to the Med Fire...

IIRC, Shane promoted or was using them when they were new in the pool scene. Got curious on how they were making the cue shafts. I remember it when I was debating on getting a 314 or an OB1 back in 2009. Heard some great things about it but couldn't get the OB1 back then. Settled for the old 314.

I concur.

So what does it have to do with tips? We are only discussing about preference between a solid tip and a layered one, not about developing a skill because of tips.

closest one I have is I have to take an hour boat ride. the other one is an 8 hour drive and one more from overseas. I'm already in talks with 2 of them. one of which I'm waiting after I gave what materials I want for the cue. from those 3, I could buy a few right now from their inventory but...

I asked this question is how much a well-known custom cue command a price at a highend auction? is there a priceless piece like any other art piece? and which buyers are there aside from the typical custom cue collectors? I'm really surprised with most of the production cues nowadays than it was...

funny thing is that I just recently bought a shaft that costs more than your average production pool cue. I love it, but is it the best shaft ever? I don't care as long as I'm shooting lights out with it.

I took it for a spin yesterday again after I was able to fit pool on my christmas season activities. I'm loving it so far and got the hang of it. the stock Tiger Onyx tip is great although I have to do some adjustment with my typical stroke. hit feels more solid and seems to do well with finesse...

just curious how much you got it for.

I understand the sentiment for staying true to old school. the main reason that I begin to acknowledge the new innovations is that I hate warping. I could not imagine myself going back to a typical maple. I could still play on it but I feel much comfortable using some LDs'. true enough, the...
