    It plays great. I think the cue plays best with a conical tapered shaft. Some cues move the ball more the harder you hit, this cue seems to move the ball best when using 1/2 to 3/4 speed. I did take the bumper out, had a nylon bolt installed and had the bottom shaped to be reminiscent of an...

    whats in a case

    Instead of buying another cue I just get another shaft. The original shafts are standard taper(not my preferred taper), the dark shaft was an old Falcon shaft that when mated with this cue, it played and felt like a Scruggs I had, so I sold the Scruggs. Two are conical taper which I prefer and...

    whats in a case

    Just the basics. A conversion from a local cue maker, Greg Sowder, 6 shafts with different tapers and weights, old Ron Thomas 2x4 that does a 1x6 quite well and some simple accoutrements.

    I think someone hacked your account. They obviously don’t realize you never use pictures.

    Pool Cue Shaft Grading Specs.

    My question is how does one state that particular qualities make a shaft wood better than others? The shaft is only part of the whole equation. I think more importantly a quality shaft is dependent on how well it pairs with the butt. Let’s assume that the pilot, ferrule and tip are all done...

    Mike Capone cues, opinions needed

    I had one briefly a few years ago. Great workmanship, nice taper, but it lacked something for me, though my friends really liked it.

    McDermott will make you a shaft for $150 with matching rings. For $300 they will make a shaft, refinish and rewrap the cue in linen or leather. I spoke with them earlier this week.

    How would one go about fixing this?

    I appreciate the offer, but I already have the ebony, plus it’s a bit thicker than 1/4”.

    How would one go about fixing this?

    I’ve had this case for a few years now, though it has been only used for storage as the base is damaged and needs to be glued back. Would you use some form of black wood filler or an epoxy and then sand to form? I bought a good size hunk of ebony years ago and thinking I would just build the...

    The inlays are fine. It’s the finish. The maple probably moved more than the Rosewood.

    Cue ID

    The older mahogany linen phenolic and the nicely shaped 5/16x14, plus a nice brown bumper lead to me to think it is a custom. Plus, when was the last time you saw brass ring work on a cheap production cue?
