Thanks for both informing me, and for providing me great service on a phenomenal shaft. I had no idea how much difference a shaft of that quality would make. There is so much ad hype in the world that it is sometimes hard to know who is telling the straight story. Your advertising is nothing...

Since OB proudly advertises a lifetime warranty against defects, there is no limit to appropriate claim time. . Characterizing it as "freebie" time is attacking by ridicule, and I don't believe that kind of bullying behavior has a place here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I actually didn't feel insulted or attacked by your response. It was well intentioned and well written and I couldn't feel anger about that. Probably the thing that left the worst taste in my mouth was the strong sense that they just wanted me to go away. They also have that reputation in...

I have discussed the sweating with several doctors. Unfortunately, the condition was a side effect of a medication a physician had me on for about a dozen years, and it is a well known side effect, along with several others, that often persist long after discontinuation. The worst part is that...

I revised it. At worst I think it wasn't properly descriptive. I had intended to spend a lot more words asking about OB butts, if their higher quality ones play well without any wrap, etc. i am a total sucker for all things cocobolo, it is even my favorite guitar tonewood by far, and I have a...

Again, they were fantastic to deal with. The did everything right. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Actually, the dealer said that all costs would be determined by OB and skirted the shipping cost if defective. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I forgot to ask, the OB model I like best, the 2013 top model, is gorgeous, but I was surprised to see the most expensive one has no wrap. I play with linen wraps, and I hold with barely enough pressure to keep it from slipping. How difficult, if at all, is it to use an unwrapped cue. I know...

I checked out the OB cues in the for sale section. There are some stunning ones there, and the prices are really good. The modifications prices are also really reasonable! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I will check that out. Thanks. I get a lot out of this forum (aside from occasional misdirected hostility). Jim

No, it's nothing like going to UPS and asking them to ship it. OB's policy with dealers is they pay shipping on valid warranty issues ... period, and no amount of reframing the issue can change that.

Actually, I try to support local businesses and I will pay some more for products to support them.

If you do have time in Waukesha, the Cue Club is a fantastic place to play. Their food alone is worth the trip. Jim

Since this happened about a year ago, I wouldn't calling it getting worked up. Quite truthfully I have been fighting a migraine today and didn't write my first message well. I was really intending, as I started to allude to, that I was looking at buying a cue that is nicer than my Lucasi butt...

Actually, I couldn't be happier with OB, so you have a point. The title isn't "OB cues are bad" or anything similar though. I did have a problem with an OB cue, but the dealer was the weak link, and I probably could have asked one question that was on my mind when I originally posted, but...

Well, OB advertises a "lifetime warranty" against all defects, even warping (for my model), which hardly any other shaft manufacturers do. When I talked to OB, they were quite angry about how I was treated, so it's not just me. I never abused the shaft, and under the terms of the warranty, it...

I love OB shafts and am thinking about buying an OB cue I had an experience with an OB shaft that I bought new from a local dealer. As I do on most purchases, I tried to negotiate a lower price. The dealer almost matched the ebay ads I pointed to, but explained that he had a business to run...

I almost said the same thing about "Interpretations On The Rules Of Golf," which is almost more useful than the actual rules book (of course you do need both), because it contains very detailed rulings during actual play where unexpected things happen, for example, a ball moving during a swing...

I received an email on this from Aramith today. They did have a disclaimer that they couldn't tell for sure without having them in hand to look at, which makes sense, but they said they looked completely legit. They said that colors do vary quite a bit, and yellowing happens over time. They...

Object ball frozen to rail rule OK, now THAT is EXACTLY the rule that I remembered, and those are the details that I remembered. I wonder why it shows up in the BCAPL and not BCA rules? Jim
