Guys, let's focus on the matters what it's all about.... If you want to talk about third world, ask yourself where Nike got some of their quality from... Anyways, it's not about that. We have a clear situation. We have Les that accepted customers' money but never passed on the orders or the...

James, may I ask if you requested a refund from Les yet? If Les would pay you back, I'm sure you can easily place your order again at the kind Bautista clan. If Les refuses... I don't have much doubt that Mr. Bautista will still ressolve it by building you a cue again. If Les refunds or passes...

I've heard from first hand that Mr. Bautista and sons are going to finish their current backorders of people who ordered through Les. The sad part is indeed that the cuemaker didn't receive the funds he was entitled to. This is a case of a bad representation by Les. So, Mr. Bautista who has been...

Originally, the cue was planned to be done by November last year. That was the deadline given to me by Les. So as December was about to pass, I informed about the cues to Les. And like others here, I got promises about updates and information that they had been slowed down because of the...

I assume it's a genuine since I detect Mezz' United joint there.

I said I had it tooled. The shaft had a crack in it. It has been filled with a large tenon. So when I say I saw it, I saw it.

Yeah that's what I meant, the pic just proves there is foam. On the shaft I had fixed, the foam was about 10 inches... that's not something I read here or on any board. I mean I saw it. But maybe my shaft was a knockoff...??? I dunno, but I know what I saw. I'm not a lyer, I mean when you have a...

I didn't say foam filled, about 10 inches on my own. Check the second pic here (http://www.kendocues.com/Websted/314.html). The heart of that proves there is foam. I'm just saying mine was longer. Believe it or not, I saw it with my own eyes. I don't want beef over this, you saw one thing, I...

What models are those laminated butts?

Uhm... actually when I had it tooled, I didn't suspect anything wrong. It was only when I read the foam was short, that I said mine was longer. I mean, the shaft plays well. And the difference in ferrules is even true. I honestly don't believe the Predator quality is a 100% under control. I...

Yes I'm very sure about that. But I have noticed different qualities among Predator shafts. I bought them from the official Holland dealer and well on both shafts, the ferrules were even made of different materials. One shaft is about a year old and the other is a tad older, close to 2. But both...

Not that short though... I mean depends on what's short but I can conform my shaft had foam about 10 inches down from the top. I didn't check futher even.

I ordered an entire set last year in February to be finished in November. Unfortunately, as it became December... I decided to mail them. I also got feedback about the climate. Two months ago, give or take, I got the first pics of the wip of my cues. Mervin is now doing the buttsleeve of the...

Indeed Mezz delivers them on demand. I contacted our national importer to get hold of it. So I suggest mailing your local importer about it. Beware they are quite costly, close to 300 dollars.

If your shaft doesn't have a real insert. Like the pin enter the wood directly... You could just mail Mike about sending you a phenolic insert in the acme thread. That one you can have mounted in the shaft and would solve you problem directly. Keep in mind a skilled cue installer has to do it to...

About 2)... I have a recent 314² shaft, it still has foam in there. I only read about some old models being truely hollow. The second gen shafts all have foam... So you need to review that statement. I think from what you all said the truth is in the middle somewhere. I mean Johnny Archer plays...

I have hit with tons of cues, including both brands. I have to say, the Schon feels SOLID. Maybe the wood has been dried longer, dunno, but it feels solid. The only thing I personally didn't like, was the shaft. I mean, it's well constructed, good wood. But it was way too stiff to my flavour...

In my experience, the more a cue is a "mint" cue, the higher its value in perspective to what type of cue it is. I think that if the refinishing has been done cleanly, the value of the cue is higher than when it would show dings for example. On the other hand, I'm talking about refinishing into...

About the shaft... Could you post up a few pics as I have never seen this one. Is it a radial laminated shaft?

That's a micarta ferrule?
