    Schmelke or Meucci?

    If you think all else is equal, you should judge your choice based on the style you prefer. Also, desired shaft would also be a factor. Personally, I prefer nice looking wood, either highly figured merry widow or old style 4 point cues, veneers or not. Meucci has a style that differs for me...

    Lesson with Scott Lee

    I agree wholeheartedly. Scott is very patient and knowledgeable. Like most lessons (pool, golf, etc), I bet most people revert back to their old habits. I'm glad I took my first lesson when I did, after just my first few league sessions. I knew enough to understand what he was trying to...

    Question about Nitti's shafts

    I have a 2006 Merry widow with 2 shafts that are both around 4 ounces and a 2015 4-point player with 2 shafts, one at 3.6 and another at 4.3oz. The heavier shaft shifts the balance point a bit more than 20 inches from the butt cap which seems too far forward for me. As far as LD, I switched to...

    Anyone not able to use Tapatalk app

    I think your fix only worked for iOS. Android users are still now working. I have tried many devices.

    Network error while using tapatalk???

    I have the same problem. I even tried unsubscribing from AZ on Tapatalk but get the same network error that KD is getting. Since this is my cellphone, I have had the opportunity to try using my local cell network, my home WiFi, Las Vegas cell network and countless wifi systems while at TAP...

    Should I buy this Balabushka Remake :/

    I'm a big fan of Nitti cues. I have a merry widow and a 4 point, flame veneer cue. Love them both. If I was starting over, the cue you linked is one I would have bought. Note that his handles are on the thicker side, usually 1.27" to 1.28" at the bumper.

    Mezz united vs standard 5/16x14?

    I can put a Mezz Ex Pro on a Schon and a Leon Sly butt without a problem. I have also tried it on a Joss once too. I doubt you will have a problem. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    What's the deal with Sneaky Pete cues not being... sneaky?

    My point is that all public poker games (casino poker rooms) are "table stakes". If you are playing 15-30 limit and only have 20 left on the river, you are all in for 20. No obligation nor ability to pull out $10 to complete the bet. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    What's the deal with Sneaky Pete cues not being... sneaky?

    Table stakes does not really refer to betting limits. I first heard the term in a limit game where a player could be all in for what they started with or pull out money during the hand. There is no need to protect players for a limit bet. No limit games are just always set as table stakes so...

    Predator revo vs other shaft polls

    Standard maple for me. I gave LD more than a quick try, but I could never shake the feeling of hallowness. At a low point with my game and less motivation to play, I pulled out my Nitti merry widow and now every shot felt more solid and enjoyable. I still have Jacoby Hybrids and a Mezz Ex Pro...

    New Shafts Wanted

    I would say comfortable and solid. Nice taper. Not too stiff. I acquired a Sly with 4 shafts (1 LD) and they all hit nice. I found out 2 were originally purchased and the compression on the joint is super tight. The others were made after without the butt in hand and made less tight. I thought...

    Adjusting from LD shaft to solid maple shaft.

    I have found the pivot to be too far back with LD shafts to use BHE. If I pivot at my comfortable bridge, I find the cue ball hitting to the same side as I'm hitting, like it is deflecting backwards. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    New cue

    You might be able to get a used Diveney sneaky Pete within your budget. I'm also a fan of the Mezz ec7 series. A used Schon in your price range will set you up nicely. There have been many posts like this and the usual response is Schmelke. You can get something from them for a fraction of your...
