This is what a recently sent package looked like upon arrival. There will be a pvc tube inside the box whenever I send out another cue or shaft. At least the shaft came out of the box unblemished. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Generally, low deflection shafts have wood removed from the first few inches behind the ferrule. Some replace the space with foam or balsa wood. Predator leaves it hallow and I could always feel it. The Jacoby Hybrid has been my favorite on my search for the holy grail. It still deflects a bit...

This is interesting. Could the day come where only custom cue makers make standard shafts? Joss, Samsara and now Schon are making LD shafts. The market is getting crowded. I think this shaft would do better if they shortened the ferrule. I'm more interested in trying the Samsara. Sent...

Their own site lists MSRPs. Their prices are still reasonable at the online vendors. I will admit that as you move up in model lines, they do get expensive. I'd rather have a custom four pointer than a $1k Schon. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I split boxes of OB and BD chalk with a buddy at the expo. I loved the OB chalk so much, I haven't tried the BD cube yet. I also have some MC and like it too. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I think a thinner shaft will happen before 3/8-10. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I spoke to the Predator staff at the APA Nationals about selling shafts for other pins. She said they are probably only going to do radial pins. Concerns over consistency of the pins. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can order a red dot shaft from Budget Billiards for 170 to fit any of those cues you recently bought. First thing is to stop the bleeding buying all of those cheap cues you will never get your money back on. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Would like to see if a used shaft is out there before I order one. United joint, please. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I actually prefer posts to be for one cue or a bundle purchase only. After two or three items are sold, it gets annoying to see what is left. Can't please everyone no matter what you do. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I totally get what you are saying. I think a basic Schmelke would fit the bill just fine. I also know how things can progress and you can be like me buying cue after cue. They were always reasonably cheap but if I jumped right to a higher cue, I would have saved money. I bought a Players HXT...

I don't want to admit how much all of my cues add up to. I can tell you that this cue might have ended it for me. Buy right, buy once. How much did your golf driver cost you, let alone a full set? Or if you bowl, what does a decent ball cost, which requires re-surfacing after a league session...

I agree about the Cuetec. I answered from the perspective of someone who bought and bought. I think that a nice Schmelke with a standard pin might have kept me happy longer than the truly cheap cues would. Personally, if I found this cue first...

You can always try a Star or Lucky, the Chinese made lines from McDermott, but I think you will be better off trying a Schmelke. A simple sneaky Pete or plain Jane will serve you better. Many players catch a fever and keep buying cues. You can be happy with one of these for a long time. Just...

Good luck. Sounds like you got a dud. I had a bad medium-soft. It happens. I just hope my next mediums are like my first. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Your experience is odd to me. My Ki-tech medium is my preference because it makes a quiet thump sound. I find that nasty sound on most every layered tip I have tried. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info everyone. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I have a box of Le Pro tips that I bought in the early '90s just to get to the minimum order size while ordering something else. I heard these are great tips if you get a good one, and they were better in the past. How do you know it is a good one before putting it on? Since taking up the...

I know there is a workaround but the average user doesn't know how or wants to leave the site. You also can search "Leon Sly" but you will only see where his full name was used. You can find out about all of the other makers without workarounds. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I feel sorry for Leon Sly. Searches for words three letters are ignored. There could be a ton of posts talking about how great his cues are but you'll have a hard time finding them. Too bad because they are great. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
