What are the density/weight characteristics? Does it affect the balance bias of the cue (too far forward or backward)? Will it be an issue to make a cue with, say, an ebony base with lexan forearm, and keep the weight manageable (18.5-19oz... I know that some cues can't be made as light simply...

See, that's one of the things I'm wondering as well.. how would Lexan handle inlays or veneers? I think Ebony would look awesome. Also something to consider... Lexan can be tinted with different colors, so the color choices and inlay/veneer possibilities are endless... imagine a dark smoke...

don't forget motorcycle helmet visors, riot shields, etc.. .. so imagine the possibilities... laser etched 3D floating points/prongs in the Lexan.. maybe 3D "inlays" in the prongs.. or a full 3D design in the entire sleeve, like those lexan/acrylic 3d art knicknacks/souvenirs you can buy at mall...

so.. uhm.. how much would one cost? and how long would it take to make? ;)

I got an aiming system for you.. just play pool and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! ;)

wow.. looks really nice... so I'm wondering, what kind of design possibilities this opens up? Can you put designs into the Lexan? Will a sealant bond over an inscribed design? What exactly can you do with it, besides having it clear or frosted?

Beautiful cue. I'm a big fan of ebony on ebony, and the veneers are nicely spaced on the dual height 4 point design, although the lizard skin wrap is not my style. I also like the ringwork and color choice. Thanks for sharing.

This is probably true, and I suppose I subconsciously adjust for it. Most of my aiming is by "feel," since that's how I learned. I visualize the path of the CB and OB based on where I want it to go, and english/draw/follow is part of that visualization. My discussion has only been based on my...

I would say that for a majority of shots, the aim point does not change. If you impart sidespin on the OB, and hit it firm, the sidespin will not have enough time/friction to significantly alter the path to the pocket. It still holds true that if you hit the OB at the centerline point, it will...

I'm considering an OB-1 shaft for my new Schon SP1106, or another Schon shaft with a different tip. I would be interested in whichever shaft he does not get, if the price is right. I was also looking at the BW4 before I bought my Schon. The style is very nice.

Yeah, I like the veneers, too. That burnt orange/red really offsets the ebony points, and gives it a nice flash of character. In very bright light, at an angle, you can see the grain and minor color changes in the ebony, and it looks very nice. The one I have in mind for Andy to make for me...

I think johnnyt's point is still valid. If you give sidespin, draw, or follow, you have to compensate for it, both in aiming and because the path of the cue ball coming off the hit is no longer in the direction of the hit. That's where experience and judgement come into play. The aim point...

Do you have these cases available in an untooled smooth black, 2x4 or 3x5? Perhaps the GEO style or in Vinyl?

Greetings, AZers... my brother tuned me into this site a while back, but I've never had reason to register and post until I picked up a new cue... I was in the market for an ebony on ebony cue to replace my two Meucci O-1s. My brother (lord_shar on here) advised me to order a Gilbert, since he...
