This I got off of another AZ member a little more than a year ago, so it didn't come from Josey directly. Butt - 14.3 oz BEM/Purpleheart shaft 1- 12.25mm 4.4oz timeless timber shaft 2- 12.75mm 3.7oz timeless timber This hits very nicely, the darker shaft would be shaft 2. Putting two new...

Would like to see what is available in Butt Only: 3/8 x 10 joint, Leather Wrap Approx 15oz, nothing too heavy. No Ivory please. Nothing more than $300. Thanks in advance Revised with looking price.

Agreed. Started playing in APA last year, 2013. One thing that I notice is which quite common is movement of the opposing player as "conceding the shot". Putting down the cue and getting up to rack as the shooting player is still down on the shot. When the shooter does miss, its not...

We used to call this game "Captain" Why? dunno we just did. Fun game.

Agreed on this.

No worries. After a long layoff from this game, I have to reinvent myself. And I'm still working on it. Aim, stance and stroke. Twenty years ago, I also was a gym rat and an athlete. I don't have the stamina to play long matches any more. My eyes and body get very tired, quicker. When I...

thanks for the input. Wow never knew my knowledge of ivory was the total opposite.

maybe the ivory came from an animal with a cavity.

ivory ferrules My experience pertains to probably 7-8 cues in my lifetime. I played with a BEM TAD cue for over 10 years, two shafts with ivory ferrules. I recently played with Coker, Josey, Gilbert and settled with a Carmeli over last year. None of which have an ivory ferrule. And none...

thank you everyone for your replies and input

so in terms of a ferrule, what substitutes for ivory the best?

well my experience and preference for a softer hit on my current cues are: BEM with wood to wood joint, Ivory Ferrules do have a softer hit but I have declined to play with anything ivory in this day and age. I've played with: Ebony and its too hard. Cocobolo and its a bit harder than BEM

I prefer a softer hit with my cue.... Please excuse the elementary questions about cue-making, not well-versed with it. Which woods have a softer hit? What part of the cue-making process would make the cue hit softer? Thanks AE

Anyone have any input on the OB Break Shaft. How does it break? Going to use it on a Jump/Break cue, so how does it jump? at 13mm its a bit larger than my playing shaft of 12.75mm, should I bring it down to match? Thanks. AE

PM sent on cue.

Classic 3/8x10. 3/8x10 Wood threads w/black ring. 175.00. PM sent

Dress Code Curious what the dress code was for this event?

Agreed, I was on the flip-side your situation. I asked a guy later in the night to play some 9-ball. $100/ 7 game set. He said he only had time for one set. I said no thanks and went looking for another game. Best to state in the beginning what the game is and no questions later to dispute.

LD switch After a long layoff (15-18 years) I started playing again this year. Reading all the forums on what LD shafts bring to the game and what LD shafts are available, I settled on OB classic. Now with 4 months in playing exclusively with the LD shafts, I am fully accustomed to it. I...

Comment Partner How about Tang Hoa? Didn't we all hear his commentary during that Scott f. vs Alex P, $40K one hole match? :)
