    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    Some of the specs that you're asking about can't really be addressed, such as: - Long-Term Durability - really up to the user; a $50 cue could last a lifetime if cared for, and a $5000 one would not survive a year if not cared for. - Consistent Quality - that will require owning a few cues from...

    Pia Filler hates wood shafts

    If you were a touring pro, traveling from one event to the next, playing from morning to night, wouldn’t you prefer to have a shaft that doesn’t require that maintenance? I know all about maintaining wooden shafts and I have everything I need to do so, yet I prefer not to be needing it and just...

    could be, but adding power will spin the CB more with the same stroke.

    Pia Filler hates wood shafts

    In the video, Pia said that humid conditions "changes the shaft jump sometimes" (1:05) I have no idea what "shaft jump" means, maybe just bad English on her behalf... For years I've been playing with Predator 314 shafts, so I can't really say anything about old-school solid maple shafts. I...

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    The Revo 12.4 is stiffer than the Cynergy 12.5 and yet deflect less. The Rhino 12.5 is stiffer than the Cynergy 12.5 and it deflects more. I believe that the flexibility/stiffness that we feel and talk about, which is mostly due to the taper, doesn't affect deflection; it's just the feel for...

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    I don't get it. You have the industry telling you what they are doing to reduce deflection; there are scientists and engineers behind it, all talking about lowering front-end mass. But some wiseguys just know better...

    I'm new to CF myself. I just picked up my first CF shaft about 3 or maybe 4 months ago. I kept going back and forth between my trusted 314-2 shafts and the CF shafts, as it takes time to get used to it, but you still want to win at league or a tournament... I've done side-by-side testing as...

    Pia Filler hates wood shafts

    Over 15 years ago, I used to travel a lot to Hong Kong. I met there a few guys from AZB, and every time I would come, we would meet and play. I never travelled with a cue and just used a house cue. My friends always offer me cues to play with. I did use their high-end cues (SW, Szam, BB, etc.)...

    By the way, this whole CF vs wood debate just reminds me the debates from 25 years ago of LD vs standard shafts. Eventually the top players adapted to LD shafts and enjoyed their advantages. Amateurs followed. Collectors just collect… who cares 20 years from now, players will laugh at threads...

    You can play with any cue and shaft. Top players have done so for decades. But, It doesn’t mean that just because something has been done for years, you shouldn’t embrace new things that are better and make life and playing pool easier. Or at least give it a good solid try before making up your...

    Cuemakers who do really dark brown shafts?

    The ring should be oversized as it turned down to get to the right size. It would be impossible to switch the ring work and get a good accurate work.

    Cuemakers who do really dark brown shafts?

    I would check with Jacoby, they can make you a keilwood shaft with any joint and probably match the ring work without destroying an existing shaft.

    I picked up Yapp to win a few days ago. I don’t know how it’ll end and I’m going to sleep… (00:48 over here) But this tournament has definitely been the best this year so far.
