    Schon cue extension

    I'm not familiar with Roper, but here is a prior discussion about Schon extensions: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/help-can-you-identify-this-brand-extension-for-my-schon-cue.579681/

    Was it a mistake to get a unilock playing cue? It keeps making a rattling noise whenever there is vibration.

    I've had various brands of unilocs for ~15 years. The only time I've had one come loose was when either the joint pin or shaft insert were dirty or had debris in them. The weight bolt would be my first guess. If it's not that, it's probably a manufacturer defect in the butt or the shaft.

    Cheap 5/16-14 butt ??

    If you see a silver label Mali, some of those are 5/16x14. For a new one, you can get one from PoolDawg for $90. I had one of those in a radial pin and it was decent. Certainly worth the $90.

    Advice on Approaching My First Custom Cue

    That's also like saying that a Honda will get you where you need to go, but a Ferrari is cooler. At the end of the day, your best bet is to find a maker that will make you what you want for your price range or find a cue you love from a dealer. For instance, I certainly don't need a new cue...

    Predator True Splice

    Predator's graphics here would imply that it's not cored, but does have phenolic in the joint and the butt end. You would probably have to ask Predator to be sure.

    Advice on Approaching My First Custom Cue

    First, determine how much you want to spend. That's going to tell you a bit about what builders or builder's styles you have to work with. You could also go with a company like Crossroad Cues and pick up a custom second hand. If you like Revos (or whatever shaft you plan to use), get the...

    I've never understood why Predator doesn't make them this way to start with.

    Making 3 inch predator extension to 2 inches …

    I also want to know why. There are certainly folks that could do it, but I'd imagine you wouldn't get much of a response for the request as it's a lot of work for not much return. It would probably cost you the original price of the Predator extension or more to customize it. My bet would be...

    No Wrap Cue under $200

    Schmelke also sells a couple different 30" Bocote blanks so highly unlikely that it's cored: https://schmelkecue.com/p312-5-bocote-round-finish-taper-30.html

    Katana 1X1 Cue Case Info Needed

    I threw a McDermott butt and a Revo shaft in the 1x1. So long as you insert the butt bumper down and the shaft tip down, it has a pretty snug fit.

    HELP!! Can you identify this brand? Extension for my Schon Cue.

    I agree that it's David Elliott's logo or one just like it. Best bet would probably be to contact him on FB. Perhaps this could help if you are unable to contact Elliott. I've been looking into Schon extensions myself recently. I asked Schon about it. If your weight bolt is steel, you could...

    Commentating pool matches

    I could see the argument of commentating from the stream, but if you had multiple cameras, you would still need someone to switch views when appropriate. For the Texas Open at least, I thought they did a great job. They had a pretty good vantage point. They did talk about not seeing the table...

    It's wild to see her improvement over just the last 9 months. I believe she started the year right at 600 fargo. SVB and Schneider are shooting lights out. Fedor is as well after the SVB match yesterday.
