    Wood or carbon?

    This is very well put!! This is a great example of what high performance is supposed to give you, much of this, takes a long time. Especially playing under the up most pressure. Practice helps.knowing how you will feel, and also even more importantly, knowing how your cue will react. What ever...

    Whats your butt weigh?

    That thread, Seemed to be in favour of light and heavy, depending on your preference. I play with a heavy cue,weighs 17.4 to total was a 21.85oz I feel I get more control. I can do the same with a 19oz that feels similar. No matter what weight, I think it more about balance in the end.

    Wood or carbon?

    I think, this is the market, these companies are really after. If your mate's, got one that means, you need one. I see it in the pool room I play in, when there's a tournament on. Most got them. Thay don't seem to play any better.

    Gus Szamboti 70's

    And the suspected crack you pointed out, will hurt the value. Can't believe he didn't take the 13.500. And all the offers he received to, go and sell it in person! We're he could of seen Barry, him self. He would have told you the value. This thread has that, look what I have vibe!! And keeps...

    Wood or carbon?

    This seems to be an endless debate, this discussion wood vs carbon. Do you guys really think it matters. Deflection is deflection no mater what type of shaft your into. It's just varying amounts. Just watch dr dave lastest video on it. If you are prepared to, put the work in. It won't matter. I...

    Diameter of cue at the midpoint of the grip.

    Wow that is thick.are you sure it's that diameter? Well, there are number of ways it can be done. This also will depend, on what cuemaker you go with. Some won't build any bigger than the standerd of today's cues. Another way is buy an old hoppe or a very old brunswick cue, and have someone, do...

    CUE TESTING for Cue Ball Deflection, And PREDATOR REVO Carbon Fiber Shaft SIZE EFFECTS

    it was interesting, to see how a normal solid maple, compares to the modern technology. Not even something I would ever notice. been using normal maple. For a very long time. Like you said, you just learn how to compensate for the deflection.

    Top Tips?

    The Le pros, in my experience always play harder. Elk master are very soft. That will harden up, but that takes a very long time. If you find a nice one, don't mess with it. it can last years. And the consistency stays the same. I'm not a fan, thay just take too long, to knock in, before you...

    $30 for a piece of chalk...What's your favorite chalk to use?

    Masters or triangle for me. I tried blue diamond didn't like it.the predator one was ok. I probably use chalk too much. To buy anything more expensive, than the predator. It just, wouldn't last.

    Nice joke!! I just got that!!! I read how all that went down. I do think you guys have a point, when you say how good some shafts play. If your talking just solid shafts,(like the joss mentioned)no laminated ones, or pie spliced ones. In my experience thay all play completely different...
