    FT: Frey Sneaky for Schon

    I have a newish Frey Sneaky bought from Frey's website a month ago. Want to try a Schon. Anyone have one that they want to trade? Doesn't have to be fancy, maybe an stl-1? Must be in decent condition as my cue is almost new. Cocobolo into Birdseye maple. Butt: 15.1oz Shaft: 3.8 oz, 13mm (taper...

    Least damaging bridge head

    Extreme bridge https://www.seyberts.com/cue-bridges/extreme-bridge/ Good bridge head. Have one but eventually just stopped caring about scratching up the cue and use what's at the table.

    How much should a shaft blank weigh?

    I don't know about this. I have 2 314's that weigh exactly 4.0oz and a z shaft at 3.9oz so it is possible.

    How much should a shaft blank weigh?

    If you're buying a ld shaft blank (predator) how much should the blank weigh if you want the shaft to weigh in at around 3.8oz - 4.0oz? 3/8x10 pin so no brass or metal inserts. Do you just ask for the heaviest and hope for the best? Thanks

    Weight removed from a shaft blank

    Hello, I know this topic is a bit of a pain for some, as most cue makers would probably like their cues to be played as a whole. My issue has been that I have always played with a 314 shaft and have just recently switched to a Frey. I mean that I learned and played with a 314 for at least 9...

    Butt Diameter

    Possibly, I'm guessing I've just been playing with an older cue that was thicker than normal. I've seen the light now

    Butt Diameter

    Thanks guys for all the responses, both serious and light-hearted lol. Measuring at the near end of my current Frey it comes in at 1.24, but I agree that the taper of the butt is the real difference. In the actual handle there are some spots where it goes down to 1.09 - 1.14 or so. Feels...

    wtb: Scruggs

    Any scruggs cues out there for sale? I see there's one currently listed but just curious what else is out there. Fancy, sneaky, or plain jane. No real price limit and would like some proof of authenticity as there have been fakes apparently. Cue history appreciated. Thanks

    Efren

    In one pocket probably. Whats scary to think is that someone like Bustamante is also probably qualified to play. At this point he probably is more accurate than Efren.

    Has the quality difference between "custom" and "production" become negligible?

    Just a real random post but I work for a biotech company in the QC/QA division that produces diagnostic products and we are certified in alot of the ISO certificates: ISO9001, ISO13845....It would shock alot of you guys if you would actually see the gaps in "quality" that actually take place...

    Butt Diameter

    Hey guys I've looked at threads similar in the past that have discussed this topic but I am just curious on a few things. 1.) Where exactly is the diameter of the butt measured? At the end of the butt cap, wrap, or handle area? 2.) Anyone have the specs of their respected cue makers? For...

    Tiger shafts

    Why not contact predator about the delamination? They guarantee for life against defects and it sounds like that's exactly what yours is. They're pretty generous too in what they cover if you just explain it to them. At this point with the phase out of the 2nd generation they might even just...

    Tiny movement allowed in butt end?

    I mean a slight roll out in the back end of the cue.

    Tiny movement allowed in butt end?

    So a quick question regarding the amount of movement in a cue when rolled. Taper rolls exist in almost all cue shafts so that's pretty much a given. What about taper rolls in the butt end? If ordering a custom you noticed there was a tiny bit of movement in the butt cap area or in the grip...

    Looking For a Case!!!

    Instroke Stand on your own and reasonable? Instroke premier. Not too expensive but protects your cues. No jump cue slot but you could order a 3x5 and have an extra slot in the main compartment. Price difference is only like 30 bucks too between a 3x5 and 2x4 and is not too big size wise...
