two of my buds had xtra tight pockets (less than 4.5) and both regretted it. one opened 'em back up. the other guy's going to. It reduces the enjoyment tremendously to have the balls constantly being spit back out at you. As jersey said: between 4.5 and 4.75 gives you adequate accuracy...

They used championship down at the hall for a while. It seemed to wear better and was slightly faster than the simionis. Unfortunately, most others didn't feel that way - there's definitely some racism and bigotry when it comes to pool felt. Seems like the Harley(simonis) guys, usually, get...

Thanks for the opinions. I mostly use the same shaft. Probably, with the same thoughts of familiarity. But, then, as the tip wears down, I'll switch to increase my overall mileage. I think, too , that, over time, with two shafts, you'll end up putting another tip on one of them and it will...

(Assuming the're both the same tip size and approximately the same weight) Do you sort of alternate, or do you pick one as you main gun and just have the other as back-up? How'd you decide which one?

Anywhere I can look and see what the various color and spec combinations are? Thanks Cutty

besides dcc, any others that anyone knows of?

Why some posters are compelled to quote the entire original post for no reason. Gess, now I'm wonderin why I posted this. Cut

nice post. will look forward to your sharing additional spectatorship.

The two best cases out there, so it's a matter of taste. To me the Whitten is smoother, and, sleeker - the Justis, more rugged and tooled leather ornamental.

Anyone ever use this? I'm only half kidding. Seems like, usually, the shot requires, at least, some minimal amount of something. (Yea, I know... I've never played perfect pool) Cut

Along this line... I need a source for the high intensity flourescents. Thanks, Cut

Thanks all

Yea, I suppose the frontal impact strength thing is good to know if you're going to be breaking with your Cog. But I might be a trifle concerned about side impacts-I guess it might be called shear strength (?). How resistant to breaking if the cue fell flat on the floor or was knocked against...

anyone ever hear of one breaking? And, too, was wondering how well they remain tight.

That's a sweetheart cue, Lisa.

99.99% of PH's that use Simonis, use 860, which is 30% slower than 760. The 20 table room I go to has been using Championship for a couple of years, EXCEPT for the two front, action, tables, and he puts 860 on those. I concur with what you stated in your initial inquiry - Championship, is faster...

For me, it's all what you get used to. I've either owned, or shot with, all the cues you mentioned (and a bunch more), and, tho they're all different, it's slight, and you adapt pretty quickly. There's no standard taper, just what each maker uses. Shaft taper has much less effect on ball...

Does a shorter bridge affect deflection and is this what the pivot point discussion relates to?

I'd recomend, first, that you evaluate your motivation for choosing a custom vs. a production cue: are you more into name recognition, or, most bang for your buck? The reason for this, is, there are two stratas of custom makers (I won't be specific about naming anyone because, with some, it...

Good as anything. The thing that may be important to know is the Joss standard tip is 13.25 diameter, making it a, relatively, stiff hitter. Most Schons are 13. Meucci and Predator are 12.75 (The mooch is a softer hit and the Pred is farily stiff - both due to taper and construction...
