    WTB: CHEAP SHAFT With 5/16X18 Threads

    I have three, 2 with silver rings & 1 with a white ring instead of silver. One could come with butt if you want. Joint diameter is in the .820 to .830 range. Cheap $20 plus shipping. Don't want to waist much time on this, just trying to help.

    The truth about Mezz shafts

    Robvandam thanks for your knowledge and opinion on these shafts. Not sure any will work for me - looks like I definitely will want to hit a few before I purchase. Rod

    The truth about Mezz shafts

    I guess people don't give a shi* and just want to argue. I don't care about the BS just some comparisons to 314-2 and OB classic plus in the Mez line is appreciated. If not fine the mezz tour will be back in October and will check them out then.

    The truth about Mezz shafts

    Are their any comparisons with mezz shafts compared to Pred and OB+? My interest is in12.5 diameter. The problem I have is with the hollow sound and feel on LD Shafts. They my play ok but they are light years away from the solid feel of a std maple shaft. I heard the mezz or exceed shafts feed...

    OB Classic Plus Ferrule

    There is more to this than meets the eye and I did not know this could be an issue. I have another cue with LM ferrules, no issue there & it is not stock size. I'm not sure your reasoning applies to all LM based ferrules.

    OB Classic Plus Ferrule

    It won't clean up, its a poor design. It appears the linen is always exposed so polishing never gets rid of the dirt, chalk, whatever. Coating with super glue is a road I choose not to travel. If everyone tried that I think there would be new, other or more problems. I understand the concept...

    OB Classic Plus Ferrule

    I just purchased a new OB Classic Plus that was taken down to 12.5 mm. I noticed the ferrule always looks somewhat dirty. On closer inspection I see the linen pattern is slightly raised so it does not polish off clean. It shows any dirt and especially chalk. Do other classic plus owners have...

    OB Classic Plus question

    Thanks guys I may take a gamble & leave it on order. Never know about the tip, usually I take off about a 1/3 of new tip & play with a m dud. Also my cue is near 19 oz so that may help as well. If I played several days a week like in the old days I would stick with a stock shaft. However since I...

    OB Classic Plus question

    I am use to a firmer tip, also I have to factor in the cue it was on weighed 18.2 oz. I know because I weighed it. These hollow shafts are starting to test my patience. I play with a 314-2 & a firm tip. It zips the ball back pretty good of course it hollow to. I also have a Z2 but its to low of...

    OB Classic Plus question

    For those that found the response sluggish using draw please respond. I am talking about the classic plus 12.75 mm. I ordered a 30" classic plus but I'm told OB is well behind. Its been a month but that's not the real problem. I recently tried one out from a friend. I can deal with the LD...

    Predator 314-2 shaft, predator 314-3 and Mezz ex pro comparison

    I think the ferrule on a 314-2 accounts for quite a bit of the hit. I realize hollow is what it is but a stiffer/harder ferrule would improve the hit. I guess the weight prohibits that change. Not sure but that's my guess. A 4% reduction sounds like it changed very little.

    Predator 314-2 shaft, predator 314-3 and Mezz ex pro comparison

    You have to adjust, the question is what is easier or better to adjust to for you. I played played solid maple for many years. After more than a layoff I found adjusting to stock deflection difficult. I play with a 12.5 314-2, squirt is fine but the hit is rather soft & hollow. The Z2 is to low...

    Tiger X Ultra LD 30"

    Its 5/16x14 silver ring, I use it on a Schon. Ferrule is 12.5mm & tapers to 12.7 in 3" then tapers to over 13mm at 6". Its a firm & very solid shaft, weighs 3.67 oz & has a compressed elk master tip. 30" is 1 inch longer that standard, that extra inch can be very helpful, where you hold the cue...

    cuetec / scorpion weight bolt

    That's huge for a weight bolt. Grub screws was a good idea, depending on how deep the butt is drilled. You can move the weight forward for balance. On the other had a butt drilled and taped that large might have a more hollow sound.

    How many are using FB groups to sell now instead of AZ for sale subforum?

    My first choice would be here. Although I asked in the main forum how to post a for sale add & its still not answered. Its starting to make sense? Few know how for sale works & supposedly I can not ask a question there! So it looks like Ebay or possibly facebook if I join. The problem is I...
