Is it just me, or is there some serious sexual tension going on here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4Vxsk_8UsU

I am potentially in the market for a new cue, but have become very comfortable with a FAT shaft. No particular cuemakers in mind. Budget is under $1,200 and would prefer 2 shafts. Please no production cues though.

Jupiters :D

Thank you Mr. Hightower! Not that cueman knows anything about tips on shafts... YEAH RIGHT!

I would love to see a picture of this!!!

A cue maker told me once the ferrule diameter tells you what size radii to put on the tip...... <---- this was exactly my point

you understand that both curves are the same right....?

you are correct... good catch but you get the point i was trying to make LOL

You logic is "somewhat" correct... You are stating that the smaller shaft is able to hit further to the edge of the cueball, without the table getting in the way. However a cueball is 2.25" in diameter, and the maximum distance from center ball you can hit without a miscue is 1.125" (half the...

You are correct, and this is the exact point that I was making. A nickel radius IS the SAME arc, however, it will perform COMPLETELY differently on different size tips. This is where the tangent vector comes into play. Imagine using max spin, with both tips... the larger shaft will impart much...

Anybody know what job Mike Davis got when he quit playing the circuit?

and before anyone contests the radius... both arcs were from perfect circles

figured out how to upload the pic the radius on both of these illustrations are IDENTICAL (copied and pasted same image) but as you will note, on the skinny shaft, the radius appears much flatter, whereas the fatter shaft has a much more emphasized curve

I understand that the arc is the same... I am stating that the given arc on different size tips, work differently.

So, I have been contemplating how to post this for a week, and still can't quite wrap my head around how to explain this without confusing everyone, but I will give it my best shot. Often when discussing tips, the first question is "what radius do you like, dime or nickel"... well while this is...

Most def an optical illusion, as many have stated... and i can prove it :D the camera is not directly overhead of the shooter... however the LIGHTS are. look at the shadow on the table produced by the cue, it is perfectly inline with the one ball

if you contact McDermott, they will substitute a standard maple shaft for any of their G-core cues, at no additional cost. I know, I have one (my wife's cue)

Thanks Lou. The reason I was so thrown off, was it was about Julia... I can't honestly see her caring either way what was said. But according to who contacted me on FB, she was upset about it... So for that I am sorry, not about what I said, but that it offended Julia. I admire her game, and her...

Peppersauce was the first person to ever ask me if I wanted to gamble on one pocket LOL I of course said no, but we have played several times :D his wife doesn't shoot bad either!

Does Kamui have any plans for a single layer tip?
