Shitty cell phone pics don't really do it justice, but the shaft is solid purpleheart, and the butt is laminated purpleheart and African Wenge. At 19.3 oz it really is a rack crusher.

My cuemaker had to order the joint direct from Cuetec to get the right one, and it was more expensive as well.

I actually have a laminated purpleheart shafted break cue being built at the moment, the butt is wenge.

Amazing how this thread went from a question about Cuetec Avids to a thread about Carbon Fiber and low deflection. I started out with Cuetecs probably because the shop I went to had them on the shelf to try out, they were in my budget, and they were recommended by the owner/salesman because they...

I have 1 Lucasi and several Cuetecs. They are nice to have when you just don't need your "battle case".

A great builder making a very nice looking AND NICE playing cue is Bill Dominiak in NY. Check out his website dominiakcues.com. Offers exotic woods, and kielwood shafts. All of his hard maple is locally harvested. Very reasonable and a super good guy.

Where can you purchase these Whitten tips, please?

Doesn't seem that way. That's why I am asking what anyone else has experienced?

Recently acquired one and have it on my Lucasi Hybrid butt and am playing with it. It has taken a bit of adjustment, no question. Initially it was nearly an ounce an a quarter heavier than my Lucasi shaft. I adjusted for weight and balance and it has become more comfortable. It does seem to have...

Will this fit ok?

Additionally, my game has improved quite a bit with the new Lucasi cue and it just has a better feel, to me at least, although I did NOT dislike the Cuetec at all. Just had an itch and the means to get something new and I hefted a Lucasi before I purchased it, (didn't play it), and it was...

Both shafts are low deflection however I also realize there are differences here as well. Additionally since I originally posted I did a bit of shaping on the new tip and that helped some, however I am now leaning toward a shaft difference. Also, both cues are same weight.

I have pretty much always played with a medium tip and recently switched to a Kamui soft tip, but I also switched cues. I do not seem to be getting anywhere near as much draw as I am used to. Opinion on whether this is due to the tip or possibly more to do the the cue? I made no change to my...
