Jacoby taper strum4u According to Jacoby the standard maple shaft does have a 10 inch pro taper but the Edge Hybrid has a 19 inch pro taper. Here is a link to the specs from their Edge shaft for McDermott cues: http://www.jacobycustomcues.com/cuesdetail.php?ID=1161 Since my cues are 3/8 x 10...

3/8 x 10 edge hybrid ordered I just ordered and paid for an Edge Hybrid 31 inches long for my 3/8 x 10 jointed cues. Neil offered me an excellent deal that I could not pass up. It will take 6 to 8 weeks for Jacoby to make it up so they must be backing up with orders from post holiday buyers...

hybrid shaft 3/8 x 10 I would like to price a Jacoby edge hybrid with a 3/8 x 10 joint measuring .850 in diameter with a 12.25 mm tip and 31 inches long. What can you do for me and how long would it take to get it made? Also, I have a place in Sun City West Az and was wondering where in Az...

Its George case question What is the maximum cue butt length including the pin that will fit in these cases. Are the custom made so that any length can be ordered?

Inexpensive fullsplice cue I would suggest a Prather 1916 which can be purchased for under $400. Quality American made product. I bought on of their fullsplice blanks and had it finished with a Lucasi Hybrid shaft and it plays great. The 1916 cues are on sale now and are less expensive than...

Long 3/8 x 10 LD shafts You can order a Jacoby Edge Hybrid direct from Jacoby up to 32 inches long with whatever tip diameter you wish. They will custom make it for you. Jacoby Edge Hybrid is a 64 piece spliced LD shaft. They are pricey and it will take quite a long time to get it to you...

whitten What is the maximum inside length capacity. I need space for a 32.5 inch cue. What is the condition of the inside lining and do the zippers all work properly. Thanks Red

Thanks for the complements Thanks guys. I played with this cue today for the first time and it has a great hit. Its 61" long with a 31" butt and 30" shaft. I have lots of 3/8 x 10 shafts so I can make it any length from 59 to 61 inches by picking the shaft to adjust the length. The wrap is...

posting pics Thanks Chuck, for posting the pics. I tried but could not get them to load!

I just picked up my new player. Greg Sowder of Sharkshooter Billiards in Vancouver Washington converted a Bocote/Maple fullsplice veneered Prather blank for me into a Willie Hoppe Pro tribute cue like my Grandfathers original which my Brother has. Greg did and outstanding job! I highly...

Odds - prewarhero If your 1 out of 3 probability for running out on a 9 ball break is accepted as true then the odds for running out 10 consecutive times is (1/3) raised to the 10th power which turns out to be 1 chance in 59,049 tries. This is approximately 132 times more likely to happen than...

I like 12.2 + mm tips on my cues and no manufacturer makes them that size( I take that back- Jacoby Edge Hybrid can be had in this size). I noticed one of the supply houses offers to turn down Lucasi Hybrid Slim shafts from the factory 11.75 to several smaller sizes with the smallest being...

Has anyone thought about or tried to use an old flat steel or cast iron lathe bed like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elgin-Tool-Works-Ill-Vintage-metal-lathe-4-Base-Bed-only-Nice-condition-/221041638965?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33771bbe35 or a more common Delta or other make to mount a...

tates WWll hoppe pro Here is the link to the thread where there are photos of Tate's Hoppe Pro that he was restoring the wrap on. The joint and pin look identical to your cue but his still has the Hoppe ring. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=202239

Cue date I have gone back through the info that I have. The loop in the W of Willie is pre 1945. The lack of the ivory Hoppe ring is an anomoly as is the rubber bumper. I have heard that Brunswick would do what the owner wanted if the cue was ordered. I also found that ebony was a special...

dating Willie Hoppe Pro Since the joint lacks the brass collar and from what I have read in researching them it was probably made during the WWII period when brass was being used for cartridge cases for the war effort. I think this was the only tiime period which did not have the brass collar...
