You really shouldn't spend over $50 or $60 for a Starter Cue if money is a consideration. If money is no consideration then you should purchase something like a Gina or Boti. Calling a $250 to $400 Joss a Starter Cue is like calling a $100k Benz a Starter Car. Az members, for the most part...

That's a great cue for the money. It will sell fast. Many Gina fans here. Good luck with the transaction.

League play Me and my two teammates don't do it, but both of the teams we played in the last two weeks used the tactic of starting a conversation with someone across the room/bar when I was over my shot. "HEY JIM! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE RAYS?! Could you imagine a pro doing this while...

SW Not! I've owned three Southwest Cues. Sure they are stiffer than average, but there are many stiffer hitting cues. These are the stiffest hitting cues I have owned. It's hard to believe there are stiffer cues than the Varner. It was way stiffer than I would think anybody would want to play...

Many Kikel's, Andy Gilbert's and a few Olney's. I had an Andy Gilbert. Decent cue, but never fell in love with it.

Rubbing glass causes friction and generates some heat, but it's not the small amount of heat that removes or lifts the tiny ding. This method actually compresses the wood surrounding the tiny ding and smooths the area out to the same level and will only work on small shallow dings. Steam or...

You are correct. But it's like swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time causes cancer.

I started playing back the late 60's with a 42" green butt red shafted aluminum cue. I was only 6 or 7, but I knew that cue sucked even then. My dad had a cheap gold colored aluminum cue that I would use when he wasn't home. It was definitely superior to mine and taught me that the feel of a cue...

Do you play a Lake wood shaft in your Diveney? I had a Diveney non Lake wood that was almost as nice, but the Lake wood felt just a tad more solid and stiff. I A/B'd theM a few times to make sure. I even swapped shafts between my Blue Grass Hustlers and my Diveney in all possible combinations...

If it's anything like golf, a company will make a custom cue to the pros specs and possibly make the cue appear to look like their latest commercial offering. If like golf, it is also possible for the pro to choose their favorite cue maker and have them build a cue that appears to look like the...

I think it should be as smooth of a transition as possible. Similar to a good putting stroke. Pounding nails is another example of a smooth transition. You would not hit the head of the nail with the center of your hammer head nearly as often if you had an extended pause on your backswing. Try...

I have Dick Nieghbors but I doubt they will make a cue for me.

Power Piston I had a n ebony Power Piston with a black dot shaft. Not bad,but a little too rubbery feeling for my taste.

Thanks I had a Jerry Southwest that I liked more than the newer Southwest. I liked it more than the later model Sw's. Very good feel, but not in my top 3. Top ten maybe.

I'll have to try a Kevin Varney too. I've heard many good things about his cues.

Playabpity is the new word of the day!

What is the difference in feel/playabpity of the Pre eBay dp's compared to the eBay era dp's? I had a couple $480 eBay dp's and thought they were decent, but not my fav ever.

I'll have to try an Omega DPK. What is the feel similar to?

Are the 70's Joss' better than the current offerings?

List in order of preference please. Reason for choice would be appreciated, but not required. Mine: Blue Grass Old School Rosewood Hustler. Had a similar hit to a new school BG Hustler but I liked the slightly narrower shaft. New School Blue Grass Bocote Hustler. Hit better than any of the 5...
