Yeah I've switched to a mezz from a predator. Guess you can say lucasi's are a predator-lite? Real difference in feel and quality. The united joint has a real tight tolerance when screwed together, reminds me of a lambros ultra joint.

Hey guys, Do cues tend to darken, and lose their figure in the process, as time sets in? Would the finish help prevent this by sealing the would from oxygen or is it more from UV/sunlight exposure? Unless we're playing outside I do not believe that to be a problem. Any thoughts on how to...

Hey guys, Looking for a mezz shaft if anyone has a spare one. Looking to try it on my pbII and play with the shorter cue. If you have a spare one lying around let me know. Not trying to break the bank so older wd700 models will work. United Joint Thanks.

Seriously guys...try a shorter cue. Really does help with accuracy. Just my opinion of course. Thinking I'll be buying a mezz shaft to put on my pbII just to see.

Yeah not really sure where my natural stroke is for my current cue. All I know is people have always said I hold cues up a little higher than what is deemed normal. I guess I choke up on the cue.

So after league today I was shooting around with my break cue just to see if I could. My break cue is the mezz pb II that is around 54 inches. Seriously, aiming seemed to be a lot easier and I could actually run the table regardless of the very hard tip. I have a samsara on top of the phenolic...

For the bigger diameter ld shafts 12.75mm and higher I would still think the 314 has the lowest deflection followed very closely by the ob version. Talking purely deflection and not feel though.

Honestly, all the butts are the same. Difference is really only in the shaft end. Pick either a 314-3, Z-3, or the vantage. The diameter difference has been discussed alot and it has pretty much boiled down to use what diameter you like. Although the 314 is probably the most used and imo the...

I have a newish Frey Sneaky bought from Frey's website a month ago. Want to try a Schon. Anyone have one that they want to trade? Doesn't have to be fancy, maybe an stl-1? Must be in decent condition as my cue is almost new. Cocobolo into Birdseye maple. Butt: 15.1oz Shaft: 3.8 oz, 13mm (taper...

Extreme bridge https://www.seyberts.com/cue-bridges/extreme-bridge/ Good bridge head. Have one but eventually just stopped caring about scratching up the cue and use what's at the table.

I don't know about this. I have 2 314's that weigh exactly 4.0oz and a z shaft at 3.9oz so it is possible.

If you're buying a ld shaft blank (predator) how much should the blank weigh if you want the shaft to weigh in at around 3.8oz - 4.0oz? 3/8x10 pin so no brass or metal inserts. Do you just ask for the heaviest and hope for the best? Thanks

Hello, I know this topic is a bit of a pain for some, as most cue makers would probably like their cues to be played as a whole. My issue has been that I have always played with a 314 shaft and have just recently switched to a Frey. I mean that I learned and played with a 314 for at least 9...

any other scruggs out there looking to sell?

Possibly, I'm guessing I've just been playing with an older cue that was thicker than normal. I've seen the light now

Thanks guys for all the responses, both serious and light-hearted lol. Measuring at the near end of my current Frey it comes in at 1.24, but I agree that the taper of the butt is the real difference. In the actual handle there are some spots where it goes down to 1.09 - 1.14 or so. Feels...

Any scruggs cues out there for sale? I see there's one currently listed but just curious what else is out there. Fancy, sneaky, or plain jane. No real price limit and would like some proof of authenticity as there have been fakes apparently. Cue history appreciated. Thanks

In one pocket probably. Whats scary to think is that someone like Bustamante is also probably qualified to play. At this point he probably is more accurate than Efren.

Thank you all for the responses. It truly is helpful.

Just a real random post but I work for a biotech company in the QC/QA division that produces diagnostic products and we are certified in alot of the ISO certificates: ISO9001, ISO13845....It would shock alot of you guys if you would actually see the gaps in "quality" that actually take place...
