    Mueller's sells Royal Oak cue tip for 75 cents. It is made from blends of oak-tanned leather, 14mm, hardness rating: Medium 66.5 Hmmm, its not in stock but on back order.

    Constant Tip Shaping is annoying!

    That was really just me guessing and presuming what was supposed to happen from using an ideal setup. No. I put that Time Crystal originally on my Rhino, but it came off. Its beyond me to put it back on to fit good. So, I put it on this 9mm CueSoul snooker cue that is, with an extension...

    Constant Tip Shaping is annoying!

    I used to shape every day because it helped and, since I have learned a few things, now for no good reason. I am waiting on tip wear so that I can install a Caiden Onyx, Taom Fusion, Ultraskin, ThePro (Milk dudded Le Pro), the only clicking tip---the Caiden Warrior, and BulletProof hard.

    Show off your Burl cues!!!

    Looks nice. Maybe you can group gnarly maples in with the fungal-damaged burl woods? As the Character Cues owner writes Burl grows where trees are attacked and suffer. The fungus that eats rotting wood leaves lines and colors behind. Suffering, death and decay become cue art...

    Bulletproof CF shaft.

    Bulletproof's website gives little info on its $200 CF shaft such as it is 30", it has pro taper, and its made of 15K filament weave. Thanks Mensabum! See below. Bulletproof sells a cue with a CF shaft for $250. Its described as AR-15 Carbon Fiber Break/Jump Cue and Playing Cues and is in...

    Break tips.. whats good?

    I would need to polish mine. Works fine and is the preferred tip for breaking here. That's not saying much, though --- this bunch wouldn't know a Samsara from a Sam Jones.

    How about $25 a cube? This is more like a century old.

    Break tips.. whats good?

    Caiden Fenrir is a different kind of tip. To determine how good it is depends on whether its been installed in "Powerhouse", "Technician" or "Hybrid" modes. The tip sells for $45. Install its' black-side up to get Technician mode. Install its' black-side down to get Powerhouse mode...

    Break tips.. whats good?

    No solution here --- if you don't like the phenolic tip, you won't like the ferrule/tip phenolic combo:

    Shaf Drop Bouncing

    McDermott's marketing, players' reviews, and bounce tests indicate Defy trades energy transfer power for a different hit and sound than Revo type carbon-fiber shafts---many players claim a better hit and sound. I favor Bob Jewett's opinion about Defy not bouncing at...

    See post#16 for how McDermott made the Defy shaft less efficient energy transfer but with benefits of better hit and sound:

    ⚡Can AI summarize 361 days worth of used-cue eBay sales? ⚡

    CHATGPT FAILED but results could improve Without any great effort, the GrandWazoo used ChatGPT AI to summarize my eight-page list of eBay sold cues (Post #2). Although AI made a list of eBay sold cues and it correctly stated almost all sale and shipping charges, it had many errors: Although...

    Shaf Drop Bouncing

    If you are seeking video of just the shaft bouncing (and not post#7 video of shaft & butt), find that on YouTube at links at end of this post. One of the YouTube videos is more of a lark but both show McDermott's Defy shaft differing from others in it not bouncing off a pool table. This helps...

    ⚡Can AI summarize 361 days worth of used-cue eBay sales? ⚡

    That is impressive and it even offered to provide an excel spreadsheet. I had asked on AZBilliards in July 2024 how to transfer eBay sale-item data to a spreadsheet. It would take some effort to do that. Here, AI can do it with a lot less effort. It would take a for-fee subscription to...
