You might want to get in touch with Al Bautista if you are looking at quality and yet relatively affordable Philippine-made cues (www.albautistacues.com). He posted recently in the Cue Gallery section and I was quite impressed by the close-up of the shaft - straight and tight-grained, which...

Hi Josh, thanks for the heads-up. The shafts are straight and no perceptible change in the amount of light showing when rolling across the table. Together the cue has a very slight roll which should be due to the wrap - the tip does not leave the table with either shaft. I would not say that my...

I would say stick to it I am not a cuemaker but having played with both Preds and maple shafts for some time, here's my take. It is indeed easier to move the cue ball around with a Pred as opposed to most (but not all) maple shafts. This is partly due to Pred's taper which is longer than most...

Thanks! Hey Ken, thanks for the welcome! :) The extended part of the wrap does not go above the original wrap - it is put there above and below the original wrap probably to extend the reach for those who like to cue further back and prefer the feel of a linen wrap. I have to attest to the...

SOLD! Putting an older Bob Frey sneaky pete with 2 shafts which I got last week on a partial trade. Cue plays very good with that solid "ping" on both shafts. Very similar to a Scruggs SP I had. Trades? Looking for nice plain janes. - 3/8 x 10 joint with no collars - White delrin buttcap with...

Hey Mark, There're a couple on the bay now. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=jensen+cue&category0= I don't know either of the buyers. The one without the veneers looks great though!

Cue is SOLD!!

Kaisers are considered lower-end imports. They are produced by J&J and are basically the same as any J&J cue except for design and joint pin. The shafts come with a thick and stiff taper same as any J&J cue. Ferrules are soft and lightweight PVC. The shafts often come sealed with lacquer which...

Am curious as to what exactly is the radical taper Earl is using on his Ob1? Is it like his previous shafts which IIRC is a 20 inch straight taper with 12.75mm diameter?

Yes, most players cues are 5/16x18, but to my knowledge the jump/break models come with double Quick-Release 5/16x18 joints in which case they would not fit a Meucci shaft.

Hmmm, its quite hard to miss the time stamp highlighted in orange right beside each pm in the inbox...You are of course free to sell it to who you want, but really simple common sense should see you keep your word to sell it to "the first one who offers $750".

For me, I tried both Moori Medium and Everests and Everests are softer and quieter (the "thud" rather than "click" sound) than Moori Mediums. Everests also has for me just the right amount of grab on the cue ball without being spongy so I find that speed and spin are more predictable. I tried...

Well, unlikely that it's sold considering the seller just posted a revised price yesterday. Works out to be around $350.

That's certainly very insightful. Good rep for you! In your view, how then do the Taiwanese players stroke and apply English that necessitates so different preferences/specs as, say, players in the States and the Philippines for example, many of whom prefer softer hitters with long pro-tapers...

But did you ask the seller on the wear and tear and whether it has any dins/dents/defects on that cue which was advertised as used? If you did and got misleading info, then it is clearly unacceptable. It's definitely not too much to expect more for a $195 cue though. For what it's worth, you...

Got a Jon Spitz cocobolo and padauk cue with white linen rings for sale. Nothing very fancy but great-looking wood and a very nice player as well. It's currently on ebay (click here). 12.6mm shaft with 1/2 inch Titan ferrule. Here's a pic:
