The hole is centered, the picture skews it…

Diameter where it would meet your cue is 1.259 in.. The hole diameter is .74 and it’s .355 deep. Length is 1.23. The cap is not perfect but it’s very usable. I’ve had it for 25 years from a cue that the forearm warped. Message me your shipping address and I’ll see how much to ship. If...

I have one I’d be willing to ship to you. Want any measurements?

What state are you in?

I’ve replaced a few of those as well.

It’s really easy to start making cues now. Whether or not people know what they’re doing is the next question. I’ve been working on cues for close to 25 years and I still have a lot to learn!

Push?

I used to scuff the dent so the pores were open and take a the corner of wet cloth, put it on the dent and then put a clothes iron on the wet corner. Just heat it a couple seconds at a time. Should work well depending on the size/ depth of the dent. I did that when first learning repairs, I do...

Just shy of 40 minutes once a week and it can be taxing. League starts at 7 and I’m home anywhere from 10:15-11:30. 5am sure comes quick after that!

I think you’re all overthinking this. Always try to play the best shot possible. If your opponent is great jumper, didn’t you try to get the safe as close to an object ball as possible or play the best safe anyway? Your opponents bad at breaking? You going to lose so he can break? IMO...

Thanks Mike, didn’t seem right to me. Unfortunately I’m sure I’ll get this one back again, customer insists on using it as a break cue and playing cue. I discussed it with him(long time customer) and expects it to break again but wants it to play the same.🤷‍♂️

Sorry to bump up an older thread, but did these ferrules typically have a .150 gap between the ferrule cap and the tenon? Working on one now and wondering if it’s original. The tenon was .400 thick and .45 long. Overall length was .71, looks like they originally came .75. Thanks, Rodney

Did this post add anything dude? Wtf!

Keep working on it, eventually it will become second nature. I’ve been working on it for about a month and I haven’t kicked the habit yet. I’ll post back when I do. I’m hoping to correct it by the end of Summer.
