I've got wood... But seriously that's some awesome timber Jim!! Just when I think you can't do any better, you put out something new that drops my jaw. I've still got to breakout the hd camera and put up pics of the two BEAUTIFUL cues you built for me and my dad.
plshrk22 (??) brokered a deal with Jim Pierce for a couple of brand new fancy sneakies for me and my father. Both turned out fantastic and we couldn't be happier. I'd suggest trying that route and getting something built the way you want it.
Can't go wrong with this one ladies and gents. I've seen and hit with it and it's a very solid player (lord knows he kicked my butt with it). And you can't go wrong buying from Matt. The veneers are really nice on the cue in person. GLWS, my new Pierce is probably the only reason I haven't...
i just did something similar with mine (Big Beulah 2) where I had half the original phenolic tip taken down and used as a pad and put a Samsara break tip on it and now it ranks right up there with any BK2 or Sledgehammer I have ever used. Im actually having a little trouble controlling my break...
have you tried messaging Jim Pierce on here?? He could likely help with the bowling alley shaft issue. I highly doubt you'll get a blank anywhere but from him because they only go out with finished cues.
