Qbilder, I think your in the point in your craft where you have developed a following of players and collectors where you can just make any cue you want to build which makes you happy and sell it for whatever reasonable amount you want. To give you an example, say you build a plain jain...

This would make a good movie title "Rise of the Rings" a cuemakers nightmare

if your going to reglue it, use slow cure glue so you can wiggle to the correct postion before it dries.

thanks for all the responses. Made some practice shots and its very consistent. On straight in shots, the OB is going towards the left. I am left handed. Given that scenario, it means I am pulling the cue butt towards my body right ?

Sorry got no info myself, all I know is that something is different when I power up vs the slow roll the OB to the pocket... I reckon my grip/stroke is pulling the cue offline... now I need to identify if its going left or right.. this should help... Thanks

I tend to loose accuracy on power shots, how do I correct this ?

how about shafts dowels ? where can you get good ones ?

Low left or low right, follow through

What took you so long to reply :grin-square:

Joey, You should throw away that VHS player...:D

Brilliant !!! I think that would be better for shafts, Helium Cored Low Deflection shafts, so light it flies :cool:

I have a jump break cue, the butt handle sections made from some rosewood and its a bit too heavy for my taste, I plan to have someone bore it out with 3/4 hole (or 1/2 maybe ?) for about 12 inches. I dont plan on putting anything inside. Any risk ?. Please respond with "Brilliant" :smile...

I know this is near impossible unless, you cut the tree yourself or your at the lumber yard, but has anyone here ever had the chance to get the center most part of the trunk ? How would it look like ? Would it have rings ?

It it hits great and its a Meucci, it must be defective cue that slipped undetected in the quality control department. Send it back to the factory and they will replace it with a new one :grin:

if a 3/8 x10 pin works for the butt and shaft, I see no reason why it wont work for the A joint, it works for Jump/Break cues which is subjected to the most extreme shots

Anyone made a Lego cue where the A and B joint is connected using a 3/8 x 10 that is not glued, hence you can change the handle wood, forearm and butt sleeve to different types or wood. This way you can provide customers different "hits" with different types of wood.

I think now would be a good time to identify what makes those top 5 cues the best

Thanks kelly I got lucky !!! Main shaft and butt was won in a Christmas Party Raffle :). Cue hits like a brick wall !!! Butt had a leather wrap which I did not like, so I asked the cuemaker to make an exact copy same woods less the leather wrap, Second shaft and third came from that purchase.

Yeah just curious how my shaft stack up against the rest of the world

How many growth rings at the joint does your playing shaft has ? main shaft 13 second shaft 15 third shaft 15
