    Help identifying cue

    I was thinking the same thing: SE-30. Woods can darken over time. Man, those were expensive 12 years ago, which is why I pass on Predator...

    Any McDermott Cue Players?

    it's too bad they stopped making sharp points with the D series cues. I had a P704 with the darker stain and a leather wrap, which was a closeout series of the last of the D butts when they changed over. some people like their butt weighting, not me after playing with others. I would take /...

    Any McDermott Cue Players?

    are you suggesting tap threading a weight bolt channel farther into the butt instead of how it comes from the factory (weight bolt placement is right above the bumper)?

    Any McDermott Cue Players?

    played with big pin 3/8x10 McDermott cues for many years. I still play with the same pin (standard or modified) on my players today but I've moved up the food chain for more forward weighted cues. I have tried LD (CF and section / pie cut maple) shafts, always back to factory standard maple...

    Ariel Carmeli

    I like how 3/x10 (modified or not) have the threads all the way up as I think it makes threading easier and more thread contact area.

    This is the second Carmeli I've seen pictured with a radial pin. Yes, he normally uses a 3/8x10 modified as I have two of them :).

    Meucci BMC Pro 5 Keilwood Shaft

    I'll pass on just the maple shaft. Not enough promptness in the seller's responses...

    do the pros outweigh the cons when using quality shaft wax?

    Was very popular in Hawaii and the west coast. Rumor has it you would lick your board / stick to see if it had enough wax on it because it came in multiple flavors...

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    Another way of saying it, as I'm in my mid 50s and not playing golf as well as I used to for multiple reasons, when I get my equipment I like it to be tuned to how I like it to feel (forged vs cast, ball choices, etc, etc). No difference. Rating has nothing to do with equipment choices.

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    This graph I did states I should be about a 37 out of the best rating of the blue curve of 362 rating instead of a 527 vs 850. Huge difference... And I hate the rules of APA but made many friends and miss them given the format of always pushing teams to get top heavy and create new ones, which...

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    I played a long time ago establishing a "pre-fargo" rating in BCA in very late 1980s in college in Oregon. After moving to the "just east of Seattle" area in 1992, BCA is much less prevalent, unfortunately. I played APA for many years, making great friends and doing well, yet it is not BCA...

    you are kidding, right? you have heard of this, right?

    UK “women’s” final

    I don't think people are reading my entire post here, given it is not only talking about men and women competing together. It also mentions participation, like a car club tour to a special winery or something, where I have seen women only events specifically scheduled for just this. The women...

    UK “women’s” final

    What I don't get is the restricted participation at the league and club level (whether transgenders are allowed or not is a whole other topic, and gets even more complicated with non-binary, but I won't go there now). How is it equal rights / participation when there is a women's only car club...

    do the pros outweigh the cons when using quality shaft wax?

    Yes, all of my 8 other 3/8x10 shafts have wood only. This new kielwood has an insert like some of the McDermott 3/8x10 I shafts.

    do the pros outweigh the cons when using quality shaft wax?

    Can I use Renaissance on my joint pin to try to "open up" that new kielwood shaft with the insert without any dirt / chalk dust collection or other issues? I would hate to have the threads of shafts "mucked up"...

    do the pros outweigh the cons when using quality shaft wax?

    Did some searching here and many seem to like wood shaft waxes like Renaissance, Longoni, Molinari and others. Some have reported the wax melting or getting sticky in warm conditions. Others say it is expensive (first two I mentioned) to very expensive (Molinari). Others have said they don't...

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    Do you have any issues with your use of the Renaissance Wax collecting dirt or chalk dust in the case? Is this only for wood or can it be used on tightly tapped joint threads and pins?
