Great write up Skor, good info and pics. Thanks very much!

This is essentially what I'm looking for, an extension system that I do not have to remove the existing weight bolt. I will try and track down BlokID. Thanks very much!

Doing some research on the Budget Billiard extension for Schon, I found this review of it on their web site. Interesting what he says about deleting the OEM weight bolt affects the hit, at least in his opinion. I emailed Budget asking how to get this additional free weight bolt if I order. Will...

Yes, please do, what length did you get?

I need to get an extension but want to know more about how it attaches to a Schon cue. I have the longer heavier weight bolt, the bumper, and the screw that holds the bumper in place. As is, the cue is weighted perfectly the way I like it. In this configuration, how does the extension attach...

OK, to bring closure to this, I've spent some dedicated time to the jump shot and have determined it's mainly the technique and not the cue. Since I'm only about 5'8" I use the dart method most of the time unless the CB is on the rail or very close to it. I have been keeping my right wrist...

Thanks for that info ST.

How heavy is the cue when used as a break cue? Is the front shaft pretty light? Thanks.

First off, I don't jump very well and am working on that. I've been using a McDermott Stinger jump/break for a number of years and it does OK as a break cue but I can't help but think there are much better options for a jump cue. I would prefer to have a more effective combo jump/break cue so I...

Well, I read Dr. Daves stuff on LD and lets agree that end mass is the biggest factor in deflection. If you reduce end mass which allows the last 5 to 8" of the shaft to bend more out of the way of the shot line upon ball contact, you reduce deflection. If however you compare a wood and CF...

I've played with wood shafts, OEM Schon in the early days, then Mezz WXC700's and Cat and Precat Predators for the last 45 years and am fine with them. I recently tried a friends Predator CF cue and it didn't do anything for me but granted I only hit about 3 racks. As I understand it, a CF shaft...

I suspect if you've never heard a pro player talk about eye patterns it's because they've never been asked unless their giving a lesson. How many times have you talked about EP's on league night with your teammates? Probably not often if ever. I became a student of the game in 1974. Back then...

OK, you've done your pre-shot routine and are now bridged down on the cue ball to start your warm up strokes. during these strokes of the cue, what is your sequence of eye movement between the CB, OB and pocket? I personally will usually take 3 to 5 warm up strokes depending on length and...
