    Wanted cue lathe to do shafts tips and ferrules with

    If you are doing ferrule and tips only, go to your local Harbor Freight Store and buy a small engine lathe. $500.00. You can buy an adjustable roller to hold the other end of the shaft or butt of a one piece cue.

    ferrule replacement gone wrong

    I have made a tenon joint on a broken shaft and bored out another shaft end and glued them together. I can't tell any difference in the hit. You will always have a line at the glue joint. Glue expands, there isn't anyway getting around it, I am open minded and if anyone can cosmetically make it...

    What makes the best hitting shaft.

    Spliced Joints, more or less LPI. Can a solid maple shaft even get close to being recognised as a good hitting shaft. I personally like the way the OB-1 shaft hits over the older predator 314. I never liked the Schon Shaft that came with my STL-19, 15 years ago. All comments welcomed.

    Lift at the joint collar

    You can tweak a joint collar. If it rolls straight with slight pressure on the butt you should see a wear mark in the collar.

    cue tip pad

    I started playing with an OB-1 after using the Predator.314. Way more english using the same stroke. Takes a while to get use to it, I'm glad I took the time.I have no interest in a newer OB, don't want to change my stroke anymore. If you opt for a wooden ferrule, hard to get use to that white...

    when was the last time you missed a Ball In Hand shot?

    I would like to say never but I would be a lier. Like dormant stated eye on cue ball and not the object ball. Too easy to waste time aiming?

    Do OB plus shafts hit like solid maple shafts?

    When I changedf from Predator, ( Worst Warranty on Cue Shafts) to the OB-1, I noticed the OB gave me more English . There is going to be a learning curb involved. I didn't noticed any less or more deflection. If that's any help to you? Every once in a while when I'm forced to back up the cue...

    Predator Warrantee Sucks

    My spelling also sucks. That OB is going to take some getting use to. I'm not a big fan of using English, it seems like I get more without much effort.

    Predator Warrantee Sucks

    My predator, one of the splices came unglued, I put a couple drops of super glue in it and finished my match. Sent it to Predator they told me their warrantee covers that because they can't repair a split shaft. Get this!! Since I put a couple drops of glue on it that voided the warrantee!! No...

    WTT new Predator314, 30" for OB2 30"

    I just bought a new Predator 314-2 30" 5/16/14 Shaft from Predator. Never been chalked. I will trade for a new OB 2 or an OBI + 30" shaft 5/16X14.thread. I will consider a used OB depending on what shape the shaft is in. Cash could help make the trade.

    I wonder if anyone else feels this way...

    Using any English at all will cause you to miss shots on the 9 footers vs the 7 foot bar box. Playing 9 ball on the bigger table the balls usually spread farther apart so getting a good angle on your first shot so you can just use pocket speed to pocket the balls makes the game more enjoyable to me.

    I'm looking for set of collets and misc other parts for my cue companion lathe

    I found a round 1" piece of nylon to make mine. You have the hard part done. Buying the lathe, now put it to use. I'm not trying to be a wise guy, just think outside the box. Once you have one turned down just use a hacksaw to cut the collect in half to get the relief groove (make sure you use a...
