Meucci's price:

Its Year 2025 and cues should start looking different. Evo Cues look good, fiberglass, 5/16x18, $125 Gemstone and $80 Pirate. Viper's Dia de los Muertos is good. What about Meucci's $1100 Hall of Fame 6 --- is that a decal for the city skyscrapers?

From PoolDawg of the wildest-looking fiber-based "hand-crafted" synthetic (fiber-based?) tip. More info at https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/pechauer-break-tips.551028/ Create explosive breaks with the J Pechauer C4+ Break Tip, a revolutionary design built to maximize power and control...

Most butts are similar and it doesn't make much difference what one is selected. McDermott's H-Series allows, however, a player to modify the butt weight anywhere along the butt length. I don't think any other butt does that. Maybe the closest to that is Mezz's Avant that allows weights to be...

A couple of McDermott vendors sell new, stripped-down H-Series cues for $550 (H517, last year anyway) $620 (H323 with G-Core not the i-2 shaft) and $680 (H554). I agree the eBay sale was a good deal. My guesses are that it is harder to get a fair value for H-Series cues that are practically...

eBay sold for $500 on auction today a used, never-been-hit H-Series H1351 McDermott with an MSRP of $1400 (cue still had a sticker on it showing $1330 while McDermott claims MSRP $1440). There was a small nick on the butt. Was this just a poorly attended auction? Was there something wrong...

Acausey-us's second no-name cue sold with shipping for $475. She is a humble seller. By the way, what are the clear plastic rods in one of her photos, Hpnotiq? Are they pool or liquer Hpnotiq things? ___

The seller, acausey-us , is doing ok selliing another no-name cue, this time the bid is at $371 at https://www.ebay.com/itm/177231815999?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 ____

Same reasons I have a jump cue --- its more fun, more destructive, and more-experienced players chuckle at you for being neanderthalic.

There are weights to add to the shaft --- not butt--- to help when cue stick must be jacked up:

Tip and ferrule are one phenolic combination:

That is an interesting post and suggests scratch repairs can be done but they won't look scratchless and matching finishes may be impossible. For what its worth, here are comments discussing turning a shiny and too sticky (!) carbon fiber shaft into a smoother less shiny shaft at...

In your work on the carbon fiber shaft below, it appears the shaft went from scratched to smooth. How did you do that?

Are you saying if you had owned a Revo 12.4mm instead of a Revo 12.9mm, and if you had to pick and buy only one shaft of those you owned, it would be the Revo 12.4mm? Is the Revo 12.4mm that much better for you than the 12.9mm Revo?

Likely materials: 29" wooden shaft with at least 6 inches cored out, 7" carbon-fiber tube, 7" wooden dowel, ½" ferrule with open top and bottom, cue tip, super glue. Uses a rubber band, two glue applicators, and plastic gloves. The picture below left shows three parts to the shaft: inside...

As near as I can tell, GMess3000's photo shows the Centro with less pro taper than the C8. This is contrary to Predator's specifications that list the Centro with pro taper and the C8 with ProV taper. From https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/what-is-a-shaft-taper.577021/
