    Consistency in shafts with firm, dead-center strikes on cue ball?

    They could be talking about the consistency of their carbon shafts. A carbon shaft isn’t prone to inconsistency of maple and that is one of the selling points. We all know that you can have 2-3 supposedly identical maple shafts in your bag and one of them just plays better….

    Bring Back Hustling Culture

    The electric in the air on a night like that is real. Around 2004/2005 IIRC I watched Steve “The Lizard” Smith and Harry Platis match up One Pocket every night for 2 weeks at Dr Cues in Seattle which is sadly long gone. The bet started around $1000 a set and got as high as 20K one night I...

    Carbon Fiber Butt with Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I have a Becue all CF cue and shaft. It plays OK but I like my Predator Ikon 4-1 with 12.4 Revo much better.

    Taom Chalk

    After using the V10 and miscuing more than ever over 2 shooting sessions, I went back to Blue Diamond and not one single miscue in league last night. I don't know if that chalk doesn't work well on a G2 Med tip or what but I won't use it again on my playing cue. It does work really well on my...

    Taom Chalk

    First of all Semper Fi. (Former Marine). Yes I was wearing a glove but have been for a while now. I was shocked that I had so many miscues and actually stopped, cleaned and scuffed my tip before thoroughly chalking again. I've had boxes of Masters that sat for a while and had to break through...

    Taom Chalk

    I got a round from Amazon and so far not impressed. I had more miscues than I think I have ever had in a 3 hour practice session using it. I was a little out of stroke today but that shouldn't account for all my miscues. It did seem to go on OK but there is no way I could go a entire rack...

    Becue Engage Shaft

    I'm not sure but looking at their website it seems they came into the business with CF cues and shafts as their target. I bought my Becue cue from another AZB'er not long ago along with the Dark Matter break cue and Naked jump cue.

    Becue Engage Shaft

    All good points Que. I am going to order the 29" from Seybert's

    Becue Engage Shaft

    That is my dilemma now. I like the Seybert's deal but my cue and Prime M and both 30". I want to try the Engage shaft but not sure how the balance will be affected with a 30" butt and 29" shaft

    Becue Engage Shaft

    Has anyone tried this shaft yet. I am playing with a Becue cue with Prime M 12.5 now and really like it. I got a email from Seybert's offering free shipping back if you don't like it so I am considering getting one with their Core M tip. I have a G2 M on the Prime shaft.

    OB 121 with Classic Shaft-Need new shaft

    I haven't played much the last 7-8 years but just joined a BCA bar league. I may get blasted for this but I have owned many very nice custom cues over the years but my OB 121 plays the best for me. My classic shaft is still in great shape but I have always carried a second shaft so I need...

    Very dissapointed in lee brett. Should be ashamed

    It seems to me Lee has been put into a really bad way with this whole BB deal. I have been in some very tough situations but never had to live out of my car. IMHO, instead of asking for stake money he should have asked for help to get the hell out of Vegas and sought out other employment...
