    Why two different 3/8x10 pins and can I even then up myself?

    Thanks! I will look into this. I'd really like to fit the Kielwood FUZE to it and see how it plays.

    Why two different 3/8x10 pins and can I even then up myself?

    An update - the Rhino shaft will actually fit, though the last couple of turns get fairly tight. The PureX won't even start to feed.

    Why two different 3/8x10 pins and can I even then up myself?

    My two customs both have a 3/8x10 joint pin, but the one on my Triple Cross Cue on the left is a bit different and longer. As a result, its shafts will fit my Steve Kornele, but the SK shafts, as well as PureX Kielwood & Rhino carbon fiber shafts I have will not screw down flush with the joint...

    Pure x jump break

    In support of the notion of a dedicated break cue, I figure the primary advantages for one are the same you get from having your own playing cue - weight & balance that you like best, which lead to familiarity & consistency. Sure, you can break with a house cue, and many do it well, but from...

    New Cue Day! JFlowers Jf20-23 from their Aspirant series.

    I was originally going to buy one of the cheaper decal cues from this series, but I kept coming back to this, both for the design and the fact that it has actual inlays. I am extremely happy with my choice! I am curious about the SMO shaft, having seen a lot of positivity for it on the...

    Decal cues are the best

    Out of sheer curiosity, I just bought an Evo decal cue from their Royale series (on the right, in case it wasn't obvious, lol). $104 and, to be completely honest, I do not hate it. In fact, playing with it makes me giggle a little; it's fun and I actually shoot decent with it. It won't be...

    Will switching from Irish Linen to a leather wrap make the grip feel thicker, thinner or the same?

    I have a 21yr old Steve Kornele cue that I'm thinking about sending in to Proficient Billiards for a refinish and I'm thinking about fancying it up with a leather wrap. The thing is that the current grip is a little thicker than I've come to appreciate in my cues. I don't really want to spend...

    Truly impressed by JFlowers!

    I'm not one to go into all of the minutiae on a pool cue, i simply focus on the basics - aesthetic (important to some), the feel in the hands (is it comfortable & does it inspire confidence?), the hit and how consistently I pocket balls with it. This one has been excelling in all of the above...

    What cue & what shaft does Justin Bergman use?

    I think you might be right. The ring work certainly seems similar to some I've seen on Google images. Thanks!

    New Cue Day! JFlowers Jf20-23 from their Aspirant series.

    I was originally looking at some of their cheaper cues for a basic bar banger, but this one caught my eye and I couldn't seem to let it go...so I bought it! It's quite a bit different in style & material than I've considered in the past as I was never a fan of Abalone, Mother of Pearl, etc...

    What cue & what shaft does Justin Bergman use?

    I've been watching him play on Youtube lately and I find his cue quite eyecatching. I love the colors in it. I also appreciate how what appears to be a Kielwood shaft looks with the butt. I can't find anything about the cue itself, but I've seen a mention of the Sweet Spot 360 V2 shaft by BD...

    New cue from Tom Gedris of Triple Cross Cues

    Thank you. Someone else enjoyed seeing the extra wood, as well. Ultimately, I am a guy that likes uncommon things. I think the look of this cue qualifies, barely, and it plays well too. I will definitely enjoy it. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    New cue from Tom Gedris of Triple Cross Cues

    One odd thing about the cue is the length of the wrap. It's quite a bit shorter than what I thought of as standard...and on a cue a little longer than normal. You can see how it compares to my Steve Kornele cue. It doesn't seem to detract from playability, which I'm quite happy with. I just...

    New cue from Tom Gedris of Triple Cross Cues

    I've been interested in Tulipwood for some time now and finally decided to have one made. This is the result - completely hand made (no cnc used). It's not what I would call perfect, as a result, but I think it has turned out well and first impressions as a player are good. Going out for a...

    Sly candy

    The only thing wrong with that cue is that it ain't mine.

    Hulsey Box Cue

    I find most box cues very unappealing. This one, however, definitely stands apart from most. Very nice!

    A few new ebony Davis - Prince cues

    These are making me stare...and salivate a little. Nice work!

    Some of my learner cues

    I've seen work from experienced cuemakers that didn't look this good. Good job! ps - Thanks for the reminder that cues don't have to be loaded with bling to be beautiful and appealing.

    Do you shoot ambidextrously?

    When I first got my start in the strip club industry (DJ, not dancer. lol) I worked the early shift that didn't have much in the way of early business. I played pool with myself to pass the time and, to make it interesting, started playing left vs right. I just did it for fun, but it's been...
