custom cue maker shaft vs low deflection shaft I was fortunate enough to get a Universal Smart shaft before they disappeared. However, is the shaft on a custom made cue likely to be superior to a low deflection production shaft for example Universal Smart shaft? If not, would it be...

Blue Diamond A case goes for $125 wholesale from Seyberts so you did well.

I just had the original tip on my Universal Smart Shaft replaced witha Kamui Black medium & I am quite satisfied. Professional installation only cost $6.

I just bought a case at the wholesale price. I'm torn among several options; 1. I could sell 1/2 of it in boxes of 2 at the retail price & thereby reduce my cost even more. 2. I could keep it, assuming that it will sooner or later be subcontracted to China & I will have a superior version...

phenolic vs leather I used the phenolic because I thought that advanced technology would necessarily give me an advantage. I overcame problems with miscues & scratching, however I have since switched to a Samsari (hard) & it is one of those few times in life when I can actually have my cake &...

In looking at custom cue maker websites, some of them say that they use Dufferin blanks or recondition Dufferins as a component in the manufacture of their cues. Are the Dufferins, especially those made in Canada, superior? I have a 10 year old Dufferin cue, which would need some adaptation...
