Most of my life I played with a 13 mm solid maple shaft. About 2 years ago I switched to a 11.75 mm low deflection wood shaft. Two months ago, I switched back to the 13 mm solid maple. I don’t think there’s a scientific difference but I have more confidence with the 13 mm and seem to pocket more...

In my opinion, this is great advice.

I believe a well made wood shaft and a well made carbon fiber shaft play equally well. I think the only major difference would be the maintenance. The carbon fiber shaft requires less maintenance.

Yes I should. I just wanted a few opinions on whether it is possible and practical before I contact them.

I would want the entire wrap removed and a new one put on.

Pechauer. I would want the dashed ring /decal? nearest the wrap removed and wrap extended to dashed ring nearest the butt cap.

Is it even possible to extend an Irish linen wrap closer to the butt cap? If so, would a company like Pechauer be capable of doing it?

I totally agree with you. I didn’t expect Trump to play flawless patterns but I did expect him to pot everything and he simply didn’t.

Great thread topic hang-the-9! I don’t know if these would be booed in a pool hall but here are a few of mine. Tournaments without shot clocks. Announcers who try to guess what shot the player is going to play. Players who slam down their cues or sulk in their chair when things aren’t...

You are correct when you say best feedback. I realize a perfectly center hit will be the same with both shafts. I also realize the low deflection shaft will hit a little straighter than the solid maple on hits off vertical center. What I’m wondering is if a slightly off center hit to the left or...

Would a solid maple shaft be a better gauge for a straight stroke/accurate tip placement when practicing a center ball hit instead of a low deflection shaft?

Awesome! Congrats sir!

I have four one piece house cues that are not smooth anymore on the shaft portion. I tried the product below several times with no difference. I don’t have a lathe or know any cue makers in my area. Do you have any product/products you recommend to smooth the shaft portion with? Thank you. Charles

I’m trying to learn how to jump and noticed I’m leaving burn marks where the cue ball was after each shot. Is this common or am I hitting the shot incorrectly? I don’t think the tip is hitting the cloth but the friction from the cue ball. I also noticed lighter burn marks where the cue ball...

Is it just me or does JJ have a bromance with SVB? I have watched a few of SVB’s matches that JJ did commentary on over the last few years and it seems like JJ thinks SVB can do no wrong. I understand him pulling for SVB because he is American but it seems a little over the top at times. I do...
