I never liked using phenolic tips personally. They always slip too much for me.

Barring any obvious / glaring issues with tools, this is always my first assumption when things don't proceed correctly

You can get a box of 50 for the same price because that’s how many you need to try to find 2-3 good ones. 🤣

I have the Naviator Auto Soft on my custom sneaky and like it fine. It did feel a bit mushy at first but firmed up slightly since then. Holds chalk fine and hits fine.

Franklin brisket will change your mind about that, especially if you ever had to temporarily relocate to the God forsaken lands known as California.

I would say the line is pretty well defined. An easy way to tell if a cue is custom or production is to simply go into a store or visit an online store. If you can find multiple versions of that cue and pick one off the wall, that's a production cue. I can go to Seyberts right now and pick a...

I think that 1) a CF staff is pretty dent resistant and 2) balls are not resistant at all to being moved (they are round and not glued down) so assuming you aren't using it like a golf club and t-ing off, you should have 0 issues. I move balls with mine quite often and never had any issues.

Just my worthless 2 cents but you should never be thinking about "Is it worth it?" when considering getting a cue restored as the practical answer for any cue that is not super high end custom or from a famous cue maker (usually retired or dead) is always going to be a resounding "No!" The real...

That wasn't what they meant when they told me to stroke my shaft?! 🤯

Black with white spots… I dig it! Or half black half white for diversity. The days of pool being dominated by white cue balls are over! We can call it the Diversity Ball, or Ying Yang Ball if in need of additional funding.

Meh, what's done is done. At the end of the day, there are bigger things to fret about.

It also helps you from jerking the cue up with hitting harder

Hard disagree. Technological improvements are a big part of how we humans have evolved as a species and rose to a top. If we had this sort of mentality throughout the ages, we would still have animals pulling carts on misshapen wheels or is that going too far against the tradition of running...

I tend to use slip stroke when I am really relaxed and stroke slip for long shots that I don't really care too much for positioning IE the last shot or to just have the cb fall into a general area.

I don't think Viking was ever big enough or popular enough to have a bandwagon.

Like any cornbread or his specific recipe?

Seems like you keep looking to pick a fight, so this is the last time I will reply to you as neither you or Vikings are worth the effort to me. Logical had responded civilly with a point worth looking at and considering. Out of respect to the poster and the spirit of discussion, I decided to...

This is certainly an interesting take, though I completely disagree with the entire premise that a middling cue company actually has a bandwagon. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I highly doubt most folks care enough about the brand for a bandwagon to actually exist. Here is the rub...

Believing it’s the shooter and not the cue and hating on the looks of a cue are not mutually exclusive. Vikings aesthetics make them look cheap. That aside most have acknowledged they are solid hitting cues. Between them or McD however, I would rock McD every time.
