And not all people are smart enough to express an opinion without showing their ass. Not all people understand that opinions are not required to be based on facts. When both negative qualities are combined, it leads to threads like this. You will be incapable of finding a single sport/activity...

The Navigator Blacks are in my opinion, junk. The original Blue Impacts I never had a problem with. The original Alpha’s were decent, even though they ran a bit on the firmer side. The Automatic soft and medium are ok, but I wouldn’t recommend the XS or the H. Since they’ve redid their Alpha and...

How to do what? Unscrew a joint collar that has come loose and gets reglued? If someone needs a video for that, they are unqualified to do that repair.

But it actually does. Quite a few people around here have experienced the same thing with their SVB cuetec’s. They aren’t willing to fork over the $$ to fix it though. Shipping to get it fixed costs more than the glue to fix it.

Just tried the video link Olaf sent me and they’re private again. And shit time flies, that was 9 years ago now. If Olaf appears, he might be able to get it sorted out. I just don’t have the time now to explain it.

Do you have all the supplies pieces that came with it originally?

Let’s just say I made 1000 blanks, with no level of quality control. You buy them at $10/each. Let’s just say 200 are perfectly straight, 200 are close enough to use, and 600 have developed a warp and are unusable. You’ve now lost 60% of your purchase. $6000 down the drain. You have to recoup...

So I used a bunch of YouTube magic. Watched it frame by frame. Here’s a screenshot of the ball just before contact. SVB not having an easy 6-9 combo was all that happened. The 6 would have still gone to the bottom right corner. With the carom then making the 9 not even come within a diamond of...

Is calling it a ferrule appropriate then? Because by definition, it’s not a ferrule.

I don’t think I misunderstood you at all. I may have just not been proper enough in my explanation. The curvature of the tip for a 14mm tip is a large enough arc radius that when put onto a 10.5mm tip it won’t be effective. When all comparisons are made to fall within the assumption that arc and...

You’ve made a critical error. The tip curvature is different. That’s the problem with your thought process. It doesn’t matter what the diameter of a tip is, there is a direct relation to the radius of which the tip needs to be. A smaller shaft needs a more curved tip to achieve hitting the same...

Cue fell over on concrete knocking the tip off. Cleaned it up and it looked like this. Cracks do not go all the way through yet.

I assume FW/L means frames won/lost? What ones FS mean?

Just because they’ve been around, doesn’t mean they’re secure. Several websites that I’ve used in the past that should be secure have had breaches of their servers. If you have google chrome saving passwords for some websites, you can do a check to see which logins have become compromised.

The Navigator break tip is not a solid phenolic tip. It’s much like a Samsara tip, phenolic impregnated. The Navigator tip is softer than a Samsara tip too. A combination of no structural integrity at the center, what appears to be a cracked ferrule. And that thin of a ferrule for a break cue...

Mezz, Jacoby, Fury, and Tiger all have their own break cues.

there’s a better link.

Do you use gauge pins to check your go/no go tolerances? How loose does the back end of the pin feel when dry fit? It might be a tight hole on the face, but if your drill bit is crooked then who knows.

I have a friend who recently got a Cuetec SVB edition with the Cynergy. His definitely has a weird ting now that it didn’t use to have. We know the little metal ring on the shaft has come lose. But that doesn’t seem like it’s the only thing wrong with it. What version of the shaft do you have?

The Uni-Loc(company name) Quick Release(actual pin name) suffers from about 3 different issues. The main problem being that since the locating center is meant to be a tight fit in its brass mating, any foreign material will cause either problems tightening it down. Or the worst case, seizing the...
