    How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

    I definitely agree. I was thinking myself when i bought the Rhino WTH is wrong with this shaft. i could fire balls in at times then at other times the deflection was like a front heavy cue with a Ivory ferrule times 2. I changed the tip to a ultraskin fire medium and it made a big difference...

    Tip Decisions... AZB Help me pick a couple to try Please. (and Thank you!)

    I like my tips on viagra. I like them so hard it sounds like phenolic when you hit with them. But of course they got to hold chalk well. So i use Talisman Hard. The extra hard dont seem to hold chalk as well but when the hard gets down below half sounds like you are hitting with the ferrule and...

    I have an old Brunswick house cue stamped 21oz in the wood that we use to break with in my pool room. Still pretty straight no lift at joint and no lift at ferrule just flutter in the middle. It has a huge butt at 1.433 or 36.40 mm. Hits good I have played with it a few times. Have a Talisman...

    What’s the diameter of your Butt?? 😏

    Man i remember back in the mid 90's when i went to Steepleton's in Lexington Ky. They had a nice glass display with Meucci's. I wanted the 95-14 so bad but just didnt have the extra money. I always looked at that cue everytime i went in. Yep the Meucci original is the ST4 Hi Run. Big Butt and...

    Meucci butt only.

    A lot of the Meucci cues will be .820 instead of .840 which is probably what his CF shaft is. Just make him aware that the joint collars may not line up. I really respect that you are doing this. I have loved the game all my life and it started out as a coping mech and therapy for my severe...

    Classic match Q. What cue did Nick Varner use during this match?

    It is not rings, the quality of the vid is pretty bad makes it look like it. It is a white letter Nick Varner Joss Cue that Dan Janes made for Varner. He sold these out of his Room. If you notice the inlay on the butt he is using is the same as this one. The one he is using is fancier with...

    What killed the slip stroke?

    I was good friends with Cornbread Red for a few years before he passed away. He had one helluva slip stroke. He didnt use it all the time but he could use it on almost any shot. I tried learning it but i found it was difficult. It was something i had to think about and for me it was difficult to...

    For those considering between a 12.4, 12.2 or 11.8mm Rhino shaft.

    Just wanted to put this out there for someone that is trying to decide on diameters on a Rhino carbon. I have owned all 3 in past couple years. I really like the Rhinos for the money. It didnt hardly take me any adjustment at all going from a standard 12.5mm custom shaft to the Rhino. The 12.4...
