On the Meucci? You can specify black or white. The white ferrule was at customer request. The white on the Springfield is also optional. If deflection is your primary concern I suggest trying them.

Here is a side-by-side comparison, Meucci Carbon Pro and Springfield cues CF: Meucci is 12.25mm, above the Springfield cues, 12.4mm.

I purchased one with pro taper, 12.4 tip and custom piloted joint and diameter. Even without the butt they managed to nearly nail the diameter. I can feel the transition with a fingernail but it isn't noticeable. I have Meucci Carbon pro shaft and a McCormick cf shaft. The Springfield CF shaft...

Could you describe the technique?

An empty beer bottle makes a pretty good "gauge".

If this is truly a Pro's room they wouldn't let either of us in. I would be willing to pay and schedule if I knew the odds were good that I might have a Jayson Shaw, etc., at the next table.

@skiergd011013, I pulled a big Seeker roller guide tuna rod that I built out of it's wrap to see if I could find the tuck-ins on it. Sure enough when you turn the rod over and stare at it's bottom: I obviously didn't take time to wash and wax it but you can clearly see where these trim wraps...

Cool. I liked the part about Jayson Shaw was discussing his monster run, shot at this club: I guess he was "in stroke".

If you go to the 16:00 minute mark on the video in post #2 you will see the cue maker install the loop and pull the end of the wrap under and through the wrap. He then uses a burnishing tool to flatten the thread. If you were to closely examine the wrap you could still find the tuck under.

You are always going to have a little tuck in spot, that's just physics. Now that you know what it is and why, consider it to be your peek behind the curtain of cue wrapping and ignore it. No one will notice but you. How could they start and stop a wrap without leaving a tell tail? It isn't as...

They are using a tuck under technique same as rod wraps: This is a bamboo gaff, same technique. You can smooth it with pressure. Rub with a beer bottle.

Someone left this post in her path. She wants it to moooooove.

What is this "film" of which you speak.

Hoping for an excellent outcome. Try to keep us posted. Good luck!(y)(y)(y)(y)

I have skin allergies that affect my fingertips, both hands. My cues are leather wrapped, I find the Spanish oiled bull to be soft yet grippy enough. I use a very light grip on the cue and I want the cue to be able to move. More of a "cradle" than grip. I use a glove on my forward hand...

I used to like a larger shaft. When I started using a glove I went to a smaller shaft. I now have a 12.25mm, 12.4mm and a 12.5mm, all cf. I prefer the 12.25mm and 12.4mm with glove. All are pro taper. For me, the glove made the smaller diameter feel "right".

It's TV. You expected what exactly?

Oh, I don't watch TV and don't care what CBS plays. I had good times in a dive biker bar because I was always immediately chosen for teams at a pitcher a rack. That meant my partner and his partners drank free. I don't drink more than a glass or two. They took good care of me including telling...

Let me guess: Half a dozen Harleys leanin on their stands out front. Brings back some great memories of Lei Lani's pub in Ocean Beach. It was an HA bar but cuts were outlawed. Two good tables and cold draft beer. I never had a problem in there and went often, it was a block from the house.

In Vegas, you are the fish.
