    Hey Cuetec, please make a Cynergy CF shaft in 12.25mm-12.3mm

    I agree with you on lots of these points and personally I don't care much for Cuetec cues as they are frequent visitors in my workshop... but some people love their Cuetec cue and they may have invested in a proper wrap, extensions etc, so it makes it hard to switch.

    Players mix and match all the time, I don't see why that should be a problem. The reason I mentioned Triple 60 is that they have both the sizes and the right adapter.

    Krown Cues - The Truth

    Yes. It's extra funny that he's basically asking in a group for legal advice if him running a Ponzi scheme is allright...

    Krown Cues - The Truth

    Yes I saw it earlier today. It seems the response from the pool community is lukewarm. The guy is spending quite a bit of time on these elaborate descritions and re-branding. He could have spent all that time actually making cues, turning a profit and bettering his reputation. I wish I knew why...

    Best jump shaft wood or material

    Purpleheart is quite popular, but the hit is kinda harsh imo. If you use quality dense maple and the right taper and tip diameter, I think it works great and it also has a nicer feedback to it.

    Thoughts on purpleheart insert for shaft threads?

    You can use PH, quite a few cue makers do, but as stated it's brittle, so it doesn't lend it's well to tapping, Radial is a slight exception, if you live thread it's less of an issue. But why not choose a wood species that lends itself to the task? Maple is pretty perfect, but if you want to use...

    Contacting cue makers

    You'll find that a lot of cue makers are on social medial like Facebook and Instagram. Quite a few have their own website as well. Like Ryan said, I hate being called up all the time, it's often a waste of time and it's often things that could be better presented in an email. People love using...

    Uni lock insert

    Standard Uni-Loc inserts are 7/16-20. Needing a .390" minor for the threads and .444" minor for the barrel part. I believe I have seen aftermarket Uni-loc inserts with a 7/16-14 thread. A picture always helps :)
