Looks like these are sold by the same person. The shipping costs are the same and pretty steep at that. Yeah its true that these were going around 150 to 180 at one time. But with the inflated prices of cues these days they would be a bargain for around 450 today.

Ok, I have installed Simonis, CPBA and few cheap cloths on my own tables.I have never installed anything faster than 860. I know that on a 9ft table with Simonis the stretch is around 1.8. I just installed Gorina Tournament 2000 and what I came up with as the stretch index of 2.7. basically 3.5"...

Im in the same boat...im 58 now and when i was in my 20's I could do the same but yeah now my back and shoulder is shot. I'm lucky to do 3 hours. But i think i shoot as good as when i was in my 20's maybe even better. I still have the determination but just dont have that drive or killer...

I play regular with a friend of mine Clint Parker he is 85 years old and shoots jam up. Helluva straight stroke and steady as a rock. Also, had another friend Bob Fannin that was 72 unfortunately passed away now since its been over 20 years that beat Cory Duel at DCC one year.

The original Rhino 11.8 doesnt have the longer taper either. The 12.2, 12.4 and 12.5 does have a pro taper. On the 11.8 which i dont consider pro taper but they advertise as pro taper but actually modified Euro. It is at 12mm only 1.5" back and increases to 13mm at 13.25 back. I have a long...

Here it is...Rhino, Raven and custom woood shaft. Higher frequency definitely Rhino and that is with a Medium tip. Good quality wood shaft with Talisman hard has a higher frequency than the Raven which the sound is slightly dampened no ping from the foam fill. Here is an overlay chart of the...

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...

A smart word of advice...If he is a big biker looking dude. Don't say "Better luck next time bud don't quit your day job." :LOL:

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...

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...

Love the reply my friend! Thank you and you inspire me. I will definitely let you know if i come up with anything.

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...
