Or incl butt. Butt condition not important. Just looking for an old (read: old butt design) shaft. DOn't care about condition of ferrule or what ringwork is attached. Just as long as it isn't a toothpick. Somewhere around 12.75 would be nice. Obviously, not looking for another cue, just a...

I've got several D's, some that hit very well, others that hit very soft. Too soft. I've had 314 shafts put on one. Will be doing same to others. I believe the best thing you can do to one is to have it refiinished. The old ones had quite a bit of finish, which may have contributed to the...

So, other than the pie construction, what makes these shafts "hi performance" ?? 5/16x14 ? thanks, tim

While taking balls back from the kitchen will speed up play, it might be better to simply put a time limit on the match, with a sudden death (I like the 5 ball rule mentioned above) game if things are tied at the end of regulation time. Also, for a tournment like this one, I'd really cut short...

I don't mean this to sound idiotic, but there's this guy that plays here in Massachusetts at my home room. He racks up 9 ball racks and more times than not, banks out 9 balls. I've never seen anything like it. And these are Murray tables, some of the most impossible playing buggars you've...

I've got an old frey with a hoppe ring, linen wrap, coco joint and two shafts. Needs a refinish. Any interest ? tim

Well, I didn't say that I wanted her! I was referring to the temptation of hundred dollar bills and the booze! hehehe. Of course, she couldn't hurt. I didn't know she was preggers. So, how long do you figure before she gets the kid plastic surgery ??? Or five nannies ? Baby Bikini line...

Okay Boy Genius, you know that you can't toss something like "a new idea for a shaft" without a least telling us the effect that you are trying to affect. Seriously Mike, why not just dress up Jen Anniston in a short dress with hundred dollar bills stuck to it with hands filled with aged whisky...

Apparently, you have answered your own question. I've got a ton of cues, but no one can tell me that any of them play any better than a cheap lucasi with a 314 on the joint. Of course, there is always the issue of balance point, butt circumference and overall weight, but if you have all of...

Thanks Dale. Never having cut a blank down, I was wondering whether some of the stuff that occurs at the larger size follows the blank as you move towards the smalller size. Offering money back is the sign of a classy seller. Can't ask too much more than that. tim

Dale That's a very pretty blank. Love the ebony nose. Without any slight meant, most of the Davis blanks I've seen haven't showed up very well in pics. How are these ? Straight at the top ? How is the cut of the veneers ? (i.e. matching well or gappy) Does the tulipwood make it all the...

I'll be there at some point, probably for the cue raffle. Are they still doing player auctions ?? tim

Gee, got enough ring count in those shafts ? I'm not crazy about prewitt ring work (just my taste), but that thing has got to play like the nuts. Having the solid ivory joint makes for a wonderful hit. Had a Webb with an ivory joint & 3/8x10 pin. Wonderful! tim

Well, here's hoping that all those with Southwest's think like the gentleman writing above! I just had KJ do a 314 shaft for me. Made up new rings for my old and crusty D-16 McD. Love the way it came out. Sent me pics of progress, never felt like I was out of the loop. On time and on...

Sounds like a plan. Just remember that there are plenty of phenominal cuemakers out there aside from Richard and Laurie. Of course, you could always give here a 'boti......just kidding. Regards, tim

I'm sorry. I don't get this one at all. Why does the wife need such a cue ? I'd just as soon shoot with my Lucasi with a matching 314 (an original Z shaft is still available at seyberts, with the matching Lucasi ring) than with my Bluegrass. Not because of the hit, but you get equal hit with...

I've always loved the look of a delrin buttcap and a brown bumper, and this JW doesn't disappoint. Might be better off in the For Sale/Trade section, though. Best, tim

The issue is a) keeping them upright without stress and b) controlling moisture levels. a) should be a problem, so it comes down to b). Remember that too much humidity is just as bad as not enough. Personally, I am very sad that Centennial cases are no longer made. Best of all time. tim
