I know I know, it's all relative in the cue world and cheap could mean something totally different to one person.
TL;DR- Broke teacher needs a cheap replacement cue/shaft because he is an idiot and lost his temper in a match. Current joint is 5/16 x 18.
At the risk of shooting myself in the...
I had a phenolic on my break cue and I hated it. Once it finally flew off I had a Samsara installed and I swear by that tip now. It has amazing power but still allows you to get some spin on the cue ball for 8 ball breaks. My whole team uses it and they all love it. One of our 5's had an 8...
I am brand new to APA pool this session but I am not new to pool. I have played 5 matches now ranked as a 4. I have won 2 matches against 4's and lost my other 3 matches. I lost to a 5 two weeks in a row in the rubber match and Wednesday I lost to a 2.
I won the lag, broke the rack and ran...
I have one of the blueberry sticks from here: http://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schmelke/schmelke_jump_break_cues.htm

The buyer has no way to retract payment via paypal. The most they can...
I currently have a blueberry schmelke dedicated break stick with a Samsara tip and I love the way it hits and breaks the balls. In a pinch I have been able to jump with the shaft only but it is a hair light and leaves me with a little less control than desired. I'm looking for a very cheap...
I was and still do shoot with a Meucci black dot with a Kamuii brown med but for the $80 it cost me I wanted to give it a try. The blacks are a little harder anyway so the soft was close to my medium. The HXT shaft hits very well and for the difference in cost between a predator or any other...
