Nailed it. I think you could fill the cracks in the swirl acrylic material but it will be noticeable. I did experiment to recreate WICO points but always had issues with adhesion, which it one of the issues with the original material. I didn't get to finish it because I left that place of...

I've seen many curly and BEM torrified/KW shafts snap. I wouldn't use them for a playing shaft, let alone a break shaft.

Awesome. Well deserved.

Probably range from $300 to $600.

In 30 years of repairing Meucci cues, I have never seen one with 1/2-13 until I posted in this thread. One got shipped to me. How strange is that?!?

Buy raw material and build the correct size.

Was the cue modified at some point? That era of Meucci cues always used a 3/8-16 bolt to hold the buttcap. Later on, they switched to 5/8-18 then to 5/8-11.

Some tips are good quality but don't fit the player's shooting style. Some tips are poor quality but fit the player's shooting style. Some tips are just trash. Sometimes the player's stroke is just trash. I hope this helps...

My answer had nothing to do with short cuts. You can build a cue with BEM and not core the forearm. It was done for many, many years. I bet 99% of those cues lived a long healthy life. I've made a living for the past 30 years repairing the other 1%....

Short answer. No. Not everything needs to be cored but there are consequences with some species.

I've seen many builders try to turn shaft material quicker just because of the specific material. For example, a laminated blank versus a straight maple blank. Some believe that the laminated blank can be turned on a different schedule because it is laminated and therefore, will not have the...
