The ferrule on the cue looks just like this one: Picture from Ivor-X website.

Mmmmm...Guinness. Next time you're waiting for your Guinness to settle after being poured, notice how the visible bubbles near the side of the (clear) glass are moving downward! It's not an optical illusion.

I'm not giving up the game. :) My custom was completed since we last played, and I'm keeping it. I can't justify having both cues right now. Let me know exactly when you'll be here, and I'll come back up from Orlando so we can play some. I'm looking forward to it.

My mistake. I paid $325 before shipping, also. It was $355 shipped, plus the Moori installation.

I bought the cue new from Cues N Things about 3-4 months ago. The ferrule is what Bob Frey put on the cue originally. On their website, Cues n Things says that Aegis ferrules are standard. This cue, however, did not come with an Aegis ferrule. It is not linen based (which also rules out Ivorine...

Agreed, but I don't have a digital camera, and it will be a few days or longer before I'm around someone who does.

Bump to the top. This is a very nice 3-4 month old cue.

I have a Woodworth jump cue for sale. The butt has never been used, the shaft has been used as a break shaft for a little over a month. The pin is 3/8 X 10 and the one piece tip / ferrule is brown phenolic. Asking $80 shipped.

I have a Bob Frey cocobolo sneaky pete that I am reluctantly offering for sale. The cue has 3/8 X 10 joint pin with a black phenolic collar, a white phenolic butt cap with the "F" logo, and a Moori III medium layered tip that is nearly new. The ferrule is Ivor-X, I believe. The coco is very...

That makes sense. Thanks. :)

You definitely need to get a more expensive cue. Many might tell you that lessons would be a good investment, as they can improve your fundamentals, but that is just crazy talk. You are better off spending three or four thousand on a cue, instead. Then your game will automatically improve. BTW...

I noticed the feature, but cannot get it to work.

To make it a statistically valid comparison, take the top ten female breakers and measure their average CB velocity, and take the top 300-500 male breakers and measure their average CB velocity. Top ten vs. top ten proves absolutely nothing unless you have the same size group to draw from. This...

Excellent post. Could you please explain why a shorter radius of curvature increases contact time? Thanks.

Where is the flexural point on a Z shaft exactly? Where is it on a normal shaft? It's a nice idea, but seems to have more to do with marketing than actual Physics. The lower end mass has been proven to have a minor effect on cue ball squirt, about a 25% reduction. The claim of a low deflection...

Could you please elaborate on the mechanical physics principles that allow the Z shaft to give the cue ball extra spin?

Thanks Poolhall Maven and Mike. The info is greatly appreciated. I've been in Florida for a few years now. I am very happy with my current room, Uncle Waldo's Billiards. It's very close to perfect for my needs, and I'm proud to call the staff and regulars my friends. I am kind of sad to have to...

I will soon have to move to the Orlando area and will have to find a new pool room to frequent. Some of the things I am looking for, in no particular order, are: 1. Quality equipment that is well maintained and kept reasonably clean 2. A non smoking environment 3. Nine foot tables 4. Good...

Since the ferrule material is not covered in the IPT rules, if a player wants a very hard break tip they could install a phenolic ferrule tip combo with a dime radius. Take the hardest leather tip they could find (Tiger's jump/break tip would certainly be unsuitable for this project, and one...

I don't see why the size of the table would give an advantage to a player who uses lots of english, draw and follow compared to a player that plays using primarily center ball w/o draw or follow. In the case of bar boxes with bigger "mud ball" cue balls, I would expect the opposite to be true...
