    What joint style does an old mid '80's Palmer PB7 have?

    Yeah I bought this cue new in the mid 80's and had Palmer make me 2 extra OEM shafts at the time. I also bought a Palmer hard case for it as well. I always liked the turquoise and red/orange coloring of some of the points. I've long since replaced the Palmer with a couple Schons as my players...

    What joint style does an old mid '80's Palmer PB7 have?

    I have an old Palmer PB7 I bought new I believe in the mid eighties. I was considering buying a LD shaft for it and using it for a player sometimes. It has a metal joint like my 5/16-14 Schon's but the pin has more threads per inch than the Schon. Would this joint be considered a 5/16-18...

    How big is the core hole in an older Predator 314 shaft? Can I take the tip down to 12.5 safely?

    I just acquired a couple Predator Cat Shafts. These I believe are the 2nd issue shaft, (with the 314 and cat logo on them), before the 314-2, -3 etc. I assume these have the first few inches cored out behind the ferrule. These measure about 12.74 at the ferrule. I'd like to take the shaft OD...

    How does shaft diameter at and near ferrule affect deflection?

    If you had to identical pro taper wood shafts from the same manufacturer and one was say, 12.5mm od at the ferrule and the other 12.9mm od, and the thicker one would be a bit thicker up the balance of the shaft to the joint, which one would deflect more? My logic tells me the 12.5mm would...

    trying to eliminate a buzz in a predator shaft when shooting extreme english

    I have a three precat 314's, a couple Cat shafts, a Mezz 700 and some OEM '96 vintage Schon shafts. A precat 314 I just bought has a very distinct buzz when shooting more than a tip off center, right, left, high or low, if you shoot with a more extreme english it buzzes. Everything on the shaft...

    Pool eyeglasses 2023

    I've bought 3 pairs from Spex4less in the UK in the last 12 years or so and have had pretty good luck. I normally wear tri-focals all the time. I play primarily on bar boxes and even only needing to see a span of about 7 feet my single power prescription is a compromise. I have it tuned to be...

    Question about tip of cue construction of early precat and cat 314 shafts. Maybe a cure repair guy would know?

    I have a three early precat 314's and a couple cat shafts. The Cats have the 314 and cat image only on them which I believe makes them newer than the precats, but previous to the 314-2? The original precats were to my knowledge the first LD shafts on the market. My question is, what about the...

    Willie Hoppe replica 1977ish. Looking to determine value

    Yeah I probably would have taken the $500 offer on FB but before I could accept it, some jackass immediately posted that the cue was only worth $200 so now the buyer has ghosted me. You wouldn't happen to know who that jackass was do you........?

    Willie Hoppe replica 1977ish. Looking to determine value

    I'm preparing to sell this Hoppe replica and am trying to place a value on it. I bought it new around 1977. The cue and original shaft is numbered 917 and rolls straight together and apart. The extra shaft was made by Palmer Billiards around 1978 and it has a bit of taper roll to it. The butt is...

    One more question about Schon cue weight bolts

    There are a number of places I can buy three different bolts all appearing to be aluminum, they are weighted as follows; .20 oz, .80 oz and 1.2 oz. On the Schon site they have three bolts as well but they are noted by length, not weight, the shortest one is aluminum 1.5" long, the next one...
