    Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

    Again, I think the guy in the video is holding a different cue that goes for a lot less. There are a handful of JFlowers cues that actually described having real inlays. And again, the point is that overlay just look real these days and only the price point is a giveaway. Also look at Rhino...

    Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

    It does look like a different cue than Carl is holding. JFlowers advertise cues with inlays and some (most) are overly. Here is the description of Carl’s cue from the web site: Myth meets crazy detail! VALKYRIE is a full‑inlay showpiece—natural ebony, Ivory‑style Juma, abalone, and...

    I don't think that this discussion refers to high end collectible cues that usually don't see any table time... I have a few nice cues (I play with them all), I wouldn't buy them again now that I have them for about 20 years... they are just not worth the investment in my opinion, and trust me...

    I've been away from pool for 15 years. got back to it just over a year ago, so yeah, a lot have changed.... CF shafts, extensions, gloves, soft cases, 3 pieces jump cues (I had a Lomax jump cue over 16 years a go, I think he was the first to make them 3 pieces but all the pros were still using...

    There is no doubt that Mosconi was a champ and a great player. But I think that current modern pros on modern equipment would have bitten him compared to his skill level of past years, he might have been able to adapt, we don’t know that for sure, we do know that age is a factor so which Mosconi...

    What was the table size and pockets on that tabke that Mosconi run that high run? I doubt that he eould run half of that on modern equipment. Regardless, the extension is a tool. You can skip on it and be handicapped or adapt. I remember Earl Strickland going against jump cues, eventually he...

    There are tons of cheap decent cues out there that come with extension. Some of older reputable cue makers that for some reason don't offer them or offer them to only one line of cues. They could make an easy $100-$200 extra just by offering them and all it takes is a change to the bumper and...

    Cues for Sale... Without Extensions

    I agree. I have a slip on extension for my old cue that I didn’t want to mess with. And fitted extensions to others. But I would not buy a cue that doesn’t have an extension system. I’m pretty good with the mechanical bridge and there are sessions that the extension doesn’t get out of the case...
