Thank you…… 3.8 ozs the min. wt. and 4.2 ozs max wt. I’m looking to find.

Perfection is a unattainable goal. To think otherwise results in endless pursuit or else settling for less but thinking nonetheless you really hadn’t. Perfect is a subjective determination and so there is no such thing unless we all agreed on what perfect was. Since we’re entitled to...

The specs I gave on how I want the shaft built is because of the balance which affects the stroke which connects to the hit and feel. Build the shaft the way my cue makers built all my other shafts would make me very happy. I’ve previously posted before about KW shafts and my search to find...

Let me know the weight of the 3/8x10 shafts after receipt as I am looking for 4 oz. KW shafts in 3/8x10 and 3/8 x11.

Do you think that was by accident or intentional? Regardless, the very best names in cue making built and still build shafts weight proportional to the cue butt. Just do the research or have a discussion with a talented cue maker. I have and there is a weight ratio the best cue makers used...

I didn’t know that about Mizerak. I found this very interesting and reassuring. Some readers have been giving me a hard time about my “unusual” request about how I want a couple of KW shafts made. I called lots of cue makers and nearly everyone declined or didn’t bother even calling me back...

Being able to see the shortcomings of others playing pool does not require you to be a PBIA instructor. One can understand what a player needs to do, or fails to do, without necessarily being a better player. What’s the last golf tournament David Leadbetter won? Nonetheless, golf pros seek his...

If it comes down to mechanics, there is a lengthy list of flaws to enumerate. However, I think there is a common one which is inconsistent cue ball speed. In order to make the game easier, getting into position for the next shot is fundamentally important. Coming up too short or too long is...

Best wishes, prayers and hope only go so far in Mike’s hopefully quick recovery. What helps fill in the gaps is being less worried or concerned about the medical costs for saving his life. The reality is everything has its price and today, hospital bills can become a financial nightmare to cope...

Cory is the only one that consistently builds roasted maple shafts that meets my shaft recipe. I don’t remember seeing the shaft you’re referring to but that would be even better than mine. But the last thing I want nor need is a 2nd KW shaft made by Cory. He only builds radial shafts and I...

Well, about a 1/2 dozen players have switched to playing Kielwood shafts since I got my shaft from Superior Cues. It would be presumptuous to think they may not have switched to KW were it not for seeing and trying my setup. However, they hadn’t previously expressed any interest in trying a...

That logo is awful, grotesque, hideous & Schon should eliminate it. Just stick with what works and don’t try to reinvent. p.s. The cue in the photo is a closet queen built in 1984. I switched from steel to playing ivory joints 15 years ago. But it does have a unusual provenance and if Bob Runde...

Don’t do it……someone else runs a red light and gets away with it. Doesn’t mean you’ll have the same fate. Aside from the fact that you could get a ticket despite not seeing a cop, accidents are even more expensive. Unless you are willing to endure insufferable problems and maybe even miss your...

Get a well made Kielwood shaft. I got my first one made by Cory Barnhart last October and it is low defection. It plays better than any maple shaft my cue makers made for the cues I ordered. You have a lot of choices and to avoid imposing my beliefs about how a shaft should be made, just find...

I like this design and find it odd it hasn’t yet sold. If the KW shaft(s) I ordered turn out as I hope they will and this cue is still around, then we gotta talk. It shouldn’t have lasted this long. These old Brunswick cues are getting harder to find. This conversion looks like it was really...

Everything seems to come down to timing and opportunity. Certainly the secondary market, I.e., resale market, changes from time to time based on buyers economics. I never met anyone that needed to spend a lot on money on a pool cue but I encountered a lot that wanted to. A person’s disposable...

Just as much as Mike pushing forward is encouraging, let’s not forget, he is fighting for his very future. This is a battle lots of us are pulling and praying hard for him to win. His mental stamina and outlook is so important for his recovery and wouldn’t it be uplifting for him to learn that...

Well, for one thing, the potential buyer might have other cues with the same pin and he doesn’t want to deviate because of having carbon fiber, Kielwood, or other special shafts they purchased or otherwise acquired. Getting a cue with a different pin complicates matters. I should know. I have...

Just to be perfectly clear, the shafts are 3.84 ozs (butt 15.84 ozs. /wt. 19.68 ozs.) and the cue is straight together & apart. Is the afore written correct re: straightness?

Do it the right way…….make the CP pockets 4.5” and SP 5” and not any bigger. This is a championship table setup and epitomizes what the greatest pool players In pool history competed on before 9’ tables replaced 10’ as the standard. You play on a 10’ with tight pockets and other than playing on...
