    are Predator cues really that good?

    Never buy them new and you will get a fair deal! And not los your a^%&$% when you decide to sell it. Otherwise you will not get your money out of it. Predator owners usuallly take pretty good care of their cues. They are best bought used. The roadline series is one of the less expensive and...

    Cue

    I've had both.... if you do not want too much action like a controlled break stright up the center, phenolic is fine. I was told there are several phenolic tips and the linen based is better. If you want lots of spin action Samsara's break tip is known for this, and I had one. My cuemaker...

    New Cue questions

    The guys are right... stiffness is all in the shaft. and taper. Try a new shaft or have Bender make one. Don't take offense at this (Bender gang) but a LD shaft by name brand,i.e. predator, jacoby, Schon etc MIGHT be easier to sell... if you are not happy. However, should you not like the...

    Pechaeur LD

    Note: I corrected my above reply as the Pechauer ld shaft I have is a pro plus.... not pro lite. Tonight the Schon LD was placed next to my Pechauer pro plus and they appeared to have the exact same taper when side by side except the Schon has a longer ferrule (i.e. old school ) which according...

    Pechaeur LD

    I have the peach pro plus, and have also the Jacoby edge, the new Schon Ld shaft (just got it), and I can tell you that the wood used in the Peach is higher quality and more uniform in color i.e. light coloring as compared to the Jacoby edge which has variations of color, which to me looks...

    Extensions.................Crosspins..........F/S

    Interesting. Does it completely change the balanceof the cue or does it take getting used to having an extra 2 or 3 inches when you hit??? I am going to check league rules to see if they are leageal in tournament play??? Anyone have comments? How does this compare to having a 5 to 8 extension...

    Is this a legit Schon LTd w/writing in calligraphy style??

    I recon one would have to take that cue far, far away from this country to find someone that was a cue repair guy that had no idea what a Schon looks like... I mean "really!!!!" I will give the guy props for spelling it right and nice penmanship, but wrong application. How can one be in the cue...

    Is this a legit Schon LTd w/writing in calligraphy style??

    Good observation..... It would be very "un-germanlike" to use calligraphy for the word Schon. Ha. Interesting/unusual to see though..... thanks for the thoughts. It looked counterfeit, but I have never seen soething like this one.

    Is this a legit Schon LTd w/writing in calligraphy style??

    I tried to post this in the schon thread but they do not have an easy way to post photos. Wish they would make it easier. I have had some Schons but NEVER seen this. What is the story here??? Found this on ebay. Also note the size of the marshmallow rubber bottom bumper..... I will ease of...

    Zero-X Billiards PKF book

    I got it a week ago. I like that it is well organized. Haven't had the time yet. I am hoping to read a bit around the new year. I am impressed with everything... except the cover design. Definitely not a great looking coffee table book. It looks like some type of children's book from the...

    Wrap Less Mcdermott/Predator case

    Is it correct to assume the predator is a soft butterfly case??? Is it leather or vinyl? You should probably put this i the advert. thanks

    Complete ready for shipping BLACKTULIP Lacewood pool cue made by Willie Blade - No Longer Available

    Great looking cue. What material is the shaft made of? A traditional joint such as radial as planned in the future will be better received here in the US,. Where is the hornbeam used on the cue? Does the butterfly on the shaft change any of the hit? I e. make for a harder or more stuff...

    Has anyone tried the new Schon Hybrid Shafts?

    I just wanted to chime in. I am no expert, but I have tried the Ld's and talked to those in the industry a holy grail hunt for understanding..... and that "optimal shaft." Opinions vary, and I can only speak from my personal point of view and knowledge gleaned from cuemakers and discerning...
