Over the weekend, I anticipate listing this KW shaft for sale. It really plays wonderful and here are the specs. 29.5” 3.81 ozs. 12.85mm (pro taper) Kamui Black Clear Tip (soft hardness) straight, no roll, immaculate. The only reason this shaft will be offered for sale is...

Phil Eastwood sits at a different table than the others you mentioned. He is a fantastic cue case builder and the most artistic of any others you mentioned. Phil is on the top rung of the cue case makers ladder looking down not up like other makers.

I always wanted to add a Rolex Daytona but it’s kind of pricey. In retrospect, I spent a lot more than that on some cues that I didn’t really need but simply wanted to get made because I designed them. I wanted to see the cues come to life. Well, the cues did and know what? I’m in an equivalent...

I have been playing a Kielwood shaft for the past 10 months. It performs so well that I ordered two more KW shafts get made but by a different cue maker. Cory Barnhart only builds radial thread cues and shafts so I had to find another cue builder to undertake building two (2) flat faced big pin...

You are striving to split hairs because balance involves tactile feel and balance point is the fulcrum point on a pool cue. I know facts are difficult because you can’t alter what history has already extensively documents. This confronts readers each and every day on this site’s for sale...

No, I am not basing it on cue makers I am fond of….just start paying attention to for sale listings……you can do the math in your head….it’s easy…….I’m not just referring to a few dozen cue makers……down through the decades, the best cue makers adhered to this……..it wasn’t just coincidence……..I’ve...

Boy, I’m curious to see how you folks would vote in MLB’s Hall of Fame annual eligibility. I have a hunch that based upon the cue maker names proposed here, and I’ll concede there are a couple of candidate cue makers, there’d be baseball players undeserving of even being nominated, let alone...

Renaissance is by far and away the best wax to use for your pool cue. Anyone advising you differently is giving you untrustworthy advice. This wax is absolutely ideally suited for applying to a cue shaft that renders it smooth as satin. No talc is needed to feel your cue shaft glide effortlessly.

My most valuable cues are a fancy big pin Ed Prewitt cue and a radial pin Tim Scruggs cue, both having flat ivory joints. The Prewitt cue design really does catch one’s eyes with its striking design & the TS has a subtly handsome appearance. But the cues play so darn fantastic, I can’t imagine...

I happen to have some custom cues i carry everywhere in 6x12 case.This requires having a separate insurance rider on my homeowner’s policy. Like with most insurance coverages, there’s a stipulated maximum value for any one item unless I wanted to obtain actual replacement value which is more...

The pool table is bigger than a custom made pool cue and costs more than most. Yet people wait years, and even longer, over a decade, just to get a pool cue built. So think of it as getting a fancy oar built versus the entire racing skull that will get entered in the U.S. Olympic trials...

Try a Kamui Black Clear tip with a softer hardness, perhaps medium. I play with this tip but with a soft hardness. Kamui tips tend to be harder than the rating of the tip. The soft tip fits the bill for me and there’s also a super soft.

In APA, points awarded for making the 9 points is 2 versus only 1 point for any object ball. It really should be a higher point value than just double a single object ball’s point value. Why? Because in real life pool and the official rules of pool, you only have to pocket the 9 ball to win the...

It was Reply #3 on Aug12th. Now that you added this info, IMO, this should help your sale listing. TX for adding this’ll info.

Maybe you should consider getting a Kielwood shaft? You have lots of choices and at varying prices that are much less costly than CF shafts. Something to ponder and Kielwood appears to be more financially stable than carbon fiber seems.

I have a Schmelke SP cue. You can get one for a ridiculously attractive price brand new. Mine was used but as pristine as one could hope for. The darn cue has great specs, straight as a tautly pulled string and all I did was change the tip to my brand. This darn cue shoots so sweet I have no...

Badpenguin……when the chalk can be also used as a miniature shot glass, I still submit the chalk owner didn’t know they were just making a needless mess that not only affects them but their opponents as well. The dreaded blue fingers symptom does not happen unless you’ve been applying chalk like...

Sounds like you are doing what seems correct. I have a dozen cue balls and none of them were cheap. My favorite to play with is the Aramith Black Measle Ball. My point is none of the cue balls I play with, or any I used in a tournament, showed TAOM chalks marks but I sure could see lots of blue...

Not with TAOM in my experience unless the player doesn’t apply chalk the right way. Dr. Dave has a video on the proper way to apply chalk to a cue tip. However, so many pool players still twist their pool chalk and the evidence stares them in the face. Just take a moment to examine the chalk...

I have played with TAOM v10 and Pagulayan Chalk (TAOM made) for about 2 years. It is the cleanest chalk I have ever used or ever even tried. It is immaculately clean. No chalk debris, dust, flakes, etc. whatsoever & the cue ball remains clean for hours. TAOM Chalk, and Pagulayan Chalk, which I...
