    BK3 butt with a LD shaft?

    The sport models are pretty nice looking if you want to go the predator route. I like the ice models. I just don't like the shafts. Mezz Ex Pro and Jacoby Hybrid for me. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    BK3 butt with a LD shaft?

    I had acquired a used BK3 and the guy threw in a z2 shaft. The only problem with the setup was that the bk3 butt was very light for me as a shooting cue. I sold the z2 due to the hallow feel and the small tip. YMMV Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Looking for a new LD shaft

    Mezz shafts are worth a look. I'm partial to the ex pro but I don't think they make it for other joints. Other Mezz shafts are in a few joints. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Falcon FSP -2 joint????

    A close up photo of your pin will help. There are cheaper Chinese versions of the radial pin. You might have some trouble with those but not necessarily. Other good idea would be to bring your cue to a pool hall. Players might have a radial shaft to try. Between good customs and Dale Perry's...

    Dedicated break cue question

    I have a J&J break cue. I had a white diamond tip put on it. Over time, I acquired a BK3. I can honestly say I get a better break with the J&J. I would consider a new tip. White diamond, hammerhead, etc before giving up on it. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    From Predtor 314-2 to...?

    There is always a 314-3 or a Jacoby Hybrid shaft available in that joint. You could get any other 5/16-14 shaft. It just wouldn't have that tight final turns. I'm currently loving the Mezz Ex Pro which fits fine on a Schon. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Break Cue Tip: Phenolic vs. Leather

    This break cue was my first. I had similar feelings to you. I had a White Diamond tip put on it. I later bought a Predator BK3 and I'm actually preferring the J&J again. I've been debating about replacing the tip on the BK3 to try to regain the love.

    Pattern Racking 9-Ball With Soft Breaking Video

    There are amateurs in the US Open Golf Championship too. I doubt you would ever be able to find 128 "professionals" for a pool tournament, particularly if you required a prize money earning requirements. All other PGA events have sponsorship exemptions too. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Mezz cue butt - predator 314 shaft combo review

    I tried a 314-2 radial shaft. I now use an ex pro on an ec7 butt or a Schon. I never liked the hallow feeling with every hit with the predator and felt unbalanced on my Nitti butt. There was a ss360/2 shaft for sale that will fit your joint that you might like better. I'm not the seller and...

    Has anyone tried the new Schon Hybrid Shafts?

    Yes. Maybe I was hyperbolic with my initial statement. The ex pro is the perfect shaft for me, YMMV. Very low deflection, nice taper, stiff hit. My friend set up two balls near a corner pocket, practically in the jaws. At the far end of a 9' table, 1 diamond from the head rail, he hits very...

    Has anyone tried the new Schon Hybrid Shafts?

    Well, I've previously tried a z2 and a 314-2 and could feel the hollowness, especially the 314. I like the Jacoby Hybrid shaft but the ex pro is stiffer. I can move the cue ball with less effort. Also, the Zan tip is providing excellent feel and spin. A very strong teammate did a deflection test...

    Has anyone tried the new Schon Hybrid Shafts?

    I actually started using a Mezz Ex Pro and cannot imagine a more perfect shaft. Fits great on a Schon too. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Mike Dechaine has no sponsors?

    Mike started to appear on the CDX website just before last year's Super Billiards Expo but that company was driven into the ground not long after.

    More *unique* "first cue" post. $550 budget.

    Before I finished the thread, I was going to suggest this exact cue. I recently bought the dark stained curly maple model with the ex pro shaft. I recommend the ex pro. If you think you want one of those cues at Manning's, give him a call about upgrading to the ex pro shaft. Seyberts only...

    Schmelke vs. Schon/Mezz/Joss, etc.

    I don't know what vcash even is, but I recently picked up an ec7 with an ex pro shaft, dark stained curly maple. I wish the maple had more figure but the cue is very nice. Well executed linen wrap, snug joint. Truthfully, I was only interested in the shaft but worried about the shaft not...

    Another USPS horror story

    I could show you my receipt from my picture, priority mail, USPS. Unless the recipient tried to put one over me, it was delivered in that condition. Since the buyer was still very happy with the shaft, I doubt it. I recently bought a cue from Seyberts and it was sent UPS in a tube. Sent from...

    The thing most people won't do, why systems don't help certain people

    At the 2003 PGA championship, I watched Jim Furyk practicing chips on a practice green. I walked around collecting signatures on a flag. Two hours later he was still chipping onto that green! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Another USPS horror story

    You are correct but it was well packed with bubble wrap which is why the shaft came out fine. It was much better packed than the CDX shaft that came in that box originally but that is a story for another thread. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
