Just got this Brazilian rosewood Solid Adam cue with a converted joint from ideologist. It matches my black collar 314 3 shaft and a ferruless Starkey. Frees up my sneaky to be a break cue. Both have oil and wax finish, which I like. Haven't played it yet, but has a good tone from the sound of it.

That's way too pretty Ken. I think the Criteria is whether you would let a toddler swing it around or not. Belongs in the sneaky Pete thread I started years ago. Very nice cue. The Falcon was 25 bucks and I found the Z shaft for 50. So under 100 for an ugly, but high performing cue.

I agree, ash isn't my favorite. This one is pretty heavy, obviously over sized in current form. I also have 4 maple bat billets that would be solid players. I'm curious if years of cracking baseballs would affect the wood characteristics in terms of tone though

I bought a baseball bat for an dollar today at a garage sale. It's an older Louisville slugger ash bat. Could be turned down to make a nice plain player. Has a good tone. Anyone already tried this?

Always thought those were neat. Does the butt rattle at all?

Show the cues that you have that are total dogs. I bought this Falcon to bring to dive bars where I don't want to be too flashy, or if I'm worried my nice cues would get stolen. I recently put a pool noodle on the handle just to see what it would be like to grip. I call it the "super earl...

I do that on occasion for practice during league. 3c is great, but 4 ball is more accessible

Watching Rafael Martinez made me favor the open bridge again. I used to play it all the time. Below is Oliver Ortman playing weenie beanie on accistats. I feel the open bridge allows the stroke to be free and gives a better sight line.

Golfers have 14 clubs, each with their own purpose. Why as pool players do we limit ourselves to one playing cue? Sure, we have a break and jump cue that are specialized, but why not extend that logic to your player? Would you use for example, a low deflection shaft for long accuracy focused...

Fun brochure

I've had an original ob1 and used it for snooker. The predator feels stiffer in the taper and larger tip, which I like. Had to adjust the weight bolt to bring the balance back a bit. Both companies made great shafts, but I'm excited to play this hybrid cue a bit more

Made this one from a house cue in Sacramento. Shaft was made by the original owner of the establishment I got the butt from. Brass big pin. 13.5mm tip

I think ob made better looking butts, and predator makes better feeling shafts. Not many modern predator butts are appealing looking to me except the full splices. I just picked up an OB 125 curly maple player and I'm excited to see how it feels with the 314 3 shaft I have.

Before pics?

Nice scotty. Worth about 450

Looking for a predator vantage shaft

Goes well with my purpleheart sneaky and Koa Hagan. Maybe I should keep it?

29 inch 18 ish oz 12.3mm tip

I don't know what size the pin is. Starkey standard wood thread
