Shark Tactics = No Class... :shakehead:

Very unlikely you'll find a ferrule that matches the diameter of the shaft or the length of the tenon.

Just sent PM, Tom.

Thought I was the only one that used a hammer on non layered tips. Seemed logical to me that it would simulate the break in period better than pressing. :cool:

What do you have left and what price?

I'd pay $500 and walk out smiling. :cool:

Just an update. Decided to use my heat gun and a plastic scraper. Worked like a charm. I was very careful not to overheat. Sanded on my lathe and filled the cracks. Ready to spray. This will definitely be a money loser but I was curious to see what would work. BTW, I asked her if she left the...

I look for the tips with the smooth glue side. Then I press them. After these two steps, I start sanding the glue side. 90% of the time, the sanding process will tell me whether the tip is good or not and how hard it is. Just a "feel" thing. The last box of 14mm Le Pro's I received had a higher...

I am using one of Chuck's #2 razor rests and it is an outstanding tool. Makes the job easier, safer, and more accurate. Highly recommended. :thumbup:

Just picked a Meucci Original LH-2 with two shafts. It has the brass joint pin and everything appears to be original. I'm probably going to send it to Mueller for refinishing soon. Anyone know anything about this cue? Not really in the market for selling it. Just curious. :cool:

Sounds like a factory refinish is the answer. Thanks, guys! :cool:

Thought about that but it seems like a lot of work and I might end up with flat areas on the butt.

I told her that but she doesn't have a lot of money. It's unlikely she'd have the receipt. Thought I'd do a good deed. She said she was ok without the decals. She just couldn't stand the feel of the cracked finish in her hands. Wonder if paint stripper would hurt anything?

Don't mean to hijack the thread but it caught my attention. I've been doing cue repair for about ten years and I've always wanted to play around with building cues, starting with Sneaky Pete's. The finishing always stops me in my tracks because I hear of the dire warnings on fumes, etc. Friend...

Friend of mine handed me a McDermott "Harley Davidson" butt the other night. The finish was flaking off in large chunks. I realize the cue is probably not worth the effort but I told her I would try to get the remainder of the decals and clear coat removed. I used a plastic scraper to remove...

Years ago, I played my best pool on tight 9 footers playing mostly center ball and using a super hard Water Buffalo tip. Controlled whitey mostly with speed. Wish I could get back into that habit.

Years ago, I installed a Moori III for a friend. A couple of days later, he showed me the tip and it had basically disintegrated. After a few questions, I noticed the bottom of his case was soaking wet. I pulled his break cue out and it was soaked. Mystery solved. :eek: The only problem I've...

Appreciate all of the replies. I purchased one and it hits great. But mine also has uneven points. Didn't expect to see that in a Predator. Other than that though, it looks and plays great. :cool:
