I'd say it's worth it. If you just want a regular wood shaft, they are about $50 on eBay. You can get a Rhino CF shaft for $180 or so. If you order what you want from Meucci, they will match the joint collar for $25 if that matters to you. Of course, you could also just sell the butt if you...

Better pictures would probably help.

The vault plate is what replaces a ferrule on a CF shaft. Take a look under the heading "Pin-Point Accuracy" here: https://www.predatorcues.com/usa/predator-revo-12-9-mm-shaft-for-radial-joint-white-vault-plate.html

I used the bumper and built an extension. It works well.

Budget Billiards sells an extension set for Schon: https://budgetcues.com/collections/cue-extensions/products/carbon-extension-to-fit-schon?variant=45761453621503 For the bumper, there's a hex bolt that holds the bumper on. On the 3 that I have, the bumper is very tight and difficult to...

I think the pool version of that is a pool hall having multiple cameras at different angles and an overhead view on their main table(s). Then, having a telestrator or the like so that a knowledgeable commentator can explain what might/has happened. They also need to make sure the headlining...

I have 2 custom cues in the works and I want to try out a FG57 shaft.

Best value for the money is probably Ultraskin or SiB.

I'm curious if Hanshew is rebranding or not. Seems they are still listed as Hanshew on PoolDawg, so who knows? I'll see if I can ask James or his wife about it soon.

Austin and Houston do as well. It's less than a 4 hour drive from either to Frisco, so you can expect some other Texan attendance. I plan on going up for at least a couple days. With regards to outages, that more of a cold weather thing than a hot one so that shouldn't be an issue.

Rhino's Evo brand comes with a shaft that they call that. It's OK. Makes a hell of a break shaft. Edit to add: Rhino also made a G shaft that was fiberglass. That's what I was referring to.

I usually shoot wrapless, but I keep a cue with a wrap in my bag just in case of humidity.

There are stands off of the main stream table. You can buy a seat near the bar.

SVB is warming up on the main stream table, so that seems likely.

I've used a one-piece phenolic for ~20 years. I break pretty hard and haven't seen any issues with chips or broken balls. Never knew phenolics were banned, but it appears they aren't now. I recently got a White Diamond installed on a backup break shaft and I am getting better breaks than...
