I'm not aware of that.

The cue I tested was 11.7mm at the tip, too small for me which made it feel a little weak for 'my' game. I've been playing with 12mm for 3C for 50 years!

I was in Burbank in 2012, that's when I tried one. The shaft in was a little in weak also for me.

I've hit shots with one before, no big deal! The joint seemed to 'slip/not stay tightened' always!

Rich, it's better to buy Longoni local in US.

Nice looking cue! I never liked the 'Joint Configuration'!

Both are important to develop into a 'Complete 3C' player! Where I disagree is in the 'Order' taught or learned by a 'Beginner'! Without having a 'Correct/Consistent' stroke first, any system will be flawed from the git go! I've instructed over 350 students since 87, some have asked, "When...

'Trial & Error' comes to mind on each table a player plays on!

Obviously, You don't know too much about the History of the progression of the 'Small games to 3C' in the US from the 1900's-40's! In 63 I started with 'Straight rail' then on to 18.2 Balkline for about 2-21/2 years with some 3C mixed in! Practicing 4-5 hrs. a day. I was taught by Men who...

I said small tables used to play the 'Small' games on 8' and 9' tables is easier and good to practice on first. Top 3c players going from 10'-9' tables, series of, 7, 8 and 9's are common place!

From the 1920-1960, 98% of European players of could not avg 1.00! In the US the Top 7-10 players did average 1.0 or better. During the 60's and 70's 3C had a lull in the game in the US. DP didn't avg 0.700 in 68, maybe later in the late 80's, early 90's.

I proposed this notion 40 years ago! A Top player knows how to divide the table into 'Sections' without diamonds! The weaker players depend much more on 'Systematic' info more than Pro's.

Playing a on a 9' table is Way Much easier than a 10' 3C table!

Look up whatever 'Drills 17-year-old Felix Vogel practiced! He's the Only Pool player in Decades I've seen having a 'Perfect' Stroke! Compact, Efficient, Straight delivery!
