That’s quite the projection there. Do yourself a favor and let us do the thinking. Never said anything to imply anything else but the fact that a thermoform plastic melts. Might want to look in the mirror if you think I was attacking you.

Compared to phenolic, yes it is. And go torch a pin loose, that shit melts.

Obviously you have a small comprehension problem going on. It seems there is a level of reading you’re not willing to do. What you wrote, and what you implied are two different things. Read only what I quoted and ask yourself if that’s what you meant. Because it doesn’t match up with the rest of...

Are you sure? Because that explicitly is implying that you’re refreezing balls after turns have been made after the ball was spotted up and froze. What a nit.

Then you might want to reread your post I originally quoted. You’re sounding like a nit right now.

If the ball was never frozen in the first place, that’s a little bit a different subject to argue about. But you’re saying that if we’re playing and a ball is spotted and froze to an adjoining ball and we agree on that. Then two turns later it’s not frozen and you’re wanting to refreeze it...

And there is no rule that states once a spotted ball is properly back in play, frozen to a ball, that the ball must remain frozen to that ball. And only a nit would argue that it should be refrozen.

Everyone else but MezzUSA didn’t respond to me when I inquired. MezzUSA said they would have them late June. Currently their site seems to indicate they have them in stock.

Has that person ever had their break speed measured? I’d say most people who don’t like the new tips have slower break speeds, along with a terrible acceleration. They miscue because of their stroke and then blame the tip. A pressed Water Buffalo tip will be pretty hard in the end and will make...

Could you wipe the tip off and show a ‘front’ view instead of a side view.

Someone got the joke it seems. But for seriousness, you can do something for 40 years. It doesn’t mean shit if whatever was done was always done half assed. And I’m not singling anyone out anywhere, all professions have people who aren’t the most competent. I still see plenty of tip replacements...

Just because someone is a cue maker does not mean they are doing things correctly. A profession does not make one a professional. That’s from a proper attitude. But let’s not sidetrack the conversation. In this case if you’re tapering the extension separately from the new butt cap you’re doing...

If you think those prices are in line with what it would actually cost, boy do I have news for you. But if you cheap out and don’t taper your extension to match the cues taper currently then I could see why you believe it would be so cheap. Shortcuts to save customers money usually shows in...

As that video shows, that piece got fucked up. So if those bulletproof tips behave the same way, trash. I’ll just use a tip that doesn’t have those deformation properties. Something more stable that doesn’t blow apart. Also, what’s with that dudes hammer swings. Is he intentionally trying to not...

I’d be willing to make a wager. If I put one on a shaft and broke with it, it wouldn’t last an hour.

If you don’t get a tapered butt mandrel, the sandpaper will lift away from the joint and the potential for dishing the joint ring happens. Don’t let your ego get in the way of best practices.

Looks like a gimmick to me.

And Fleming stands where in the world rankings? Stealing the world #1 spot? The time and effort into making a linen wrapped cue 25” from a 29” blank is too much. But questions that haven’t been asked so far. Are you aware of the drastic weight change that cue will under go without having to do...

What’s there to think about? Ebonized basically means ‘something turned black’. I’ve never wondered about that, since you know it’s self explanatory.

Yet you’re still here wanting to take the beating. And you’re still unwilling to accept that you’re wrong. You have no true friends anymore because of that. I am accepting that the last 30 years of companies producing carbon fiber cues, the last 5 years have seen the actual acceptance of them...
