I think its more like people are dishonest when much is at stake. French law, I believe, presumes a defendant lies. This is not a criticism of the defendant, its a recognition of human nature that to the French, the defendant tends to lie. I think its probably true, too, that people are...

I presume you are referring to the first picture of the wood at the butt. What about the wood at the other end below the tip?

Lengths of the wood pieces are 57". There are no ferrules on the cues. The length is measured to tenon tip. There is some wobble to the cues. Butt widths for the 16, 17, 18, and 19 oz cues are 1.35", 1.37", 1.39", and 1.39" diameter, respectively. Diameter below where ferrule would fit...

I have Briggs one-piece cue sticks made sometime between 64 and 125 years ago. This was the period in which the O.L. Briggs & Son company was in business in Boston. Can you tell me what kind of wood was used from looking at photos? The wood at the butt is darker in the 18 and 19-ounce cues...

Etsy vendors have several training aids for aiming, too:

No more EX Pro in 3/8x10 joint and 30" length but there are 29" EX Pros in United, Wavy, and Wavy 2 joints.

I'm wrong on that. I thought the CF piece was one piece. It has two CF pieces. One of the CF pieces is fastened to wood with joints at the CF and wood ends. The picture shows joints and tip with protectors on.

The Hama cue highlights the similarity between hybrid cues and regular carbon fiber cues. The difference is that Hama cue's carbon-fiber shaft is only about thirteen inches long --- the rest of the cue is wood. How different is that from a carbon fiber cue with a 30 inch shaft?? Why should...

For what its worth, PoolDawg reviews of the Moori cue tip were all 3 and above except for two of the 71 reviews:

Is this the set? It so, they're inexpensive:

Company on Etsy, XCueCustom, puts photos on cues. Some are lame but some are interesting art images. $170 with fiberglass shaft. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4465278544/urban-typo-pitbull-carbon-fiber-pool-cue

Dr Dave found Rhino had "off-the-charts" deflection for about 20% of hits and was due to a soft Time Crystal tip (video 6:00 minutes). The owner of the shaft had not found that and Dr Dave figured the differences were due to owner's jabbing stroke as opposed to Dr Dave's smoother, accelerating...

I wonder what the Rhino shaft is. I bought a Rhino direct from Rhino and, as I recall, I didn't get a box like that shown in the eBay post. Rhino, too, for a while sold under the Rhino name carbon fiber and fiberglass shafts. Is it possible this is an older Rhino style and fiberglass? Did...
