    Opinions vary......no coverage of the Mosconi cup, US open on ESPN but there is coverage of Pickleball and Cornhole, but you're right.......

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Plenty of precision now, along with a lot of safety play, I understand it but to people who are not knowledgeable about pool it's boring to watch, pool was bigger when players had a chance to take and make amazing shots, I don't blame the players for not taking chances when the odds are stacked...

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    I think it adds another element to the game, do I try and cheat the pocket or play safe? With the 4" pockets there is no option you will be playing safe, I'd like to see the players have to make a choice and I think we would see more "Z shot" type of shots taken, more exciting for the spectators...

    So many tips to choose from.

    In my experience any time you are doing something "custom" you always run into something you don't expect, skilled craftsman who do exceptional work never let something leave the shop without it being up to that craftsman's standard, even if they didn't quote the price just right, I have never...

    So many tips to choose from.

    The hide of the same animal is not the same all the way through just like the grain of a tree is not the same all the way through, that is the advantage of CF and synthetic cue tips, I'm sure there are some small differences in the formulas but they are going to be more consistent than what...

    So many tips to choose from.

    Now with the Bulletproof Recoil tip there is a synthetic tip, no leather, I'm hard on tips and most tips only lasted me 4 months or so, I'm almost 1 year on the Recoil tip and I got at least 6 months if not more.

    I don't blame you one bit, If it was me and you quoted me $150 I would have not only paid it I would have tipped you as well for creating a custom piece for me.

    So many tips to choose from.

    You have to factor in the price of the lathe, glue, cleaners, razor blades, as well, nothing good worth having is cheap.

    3 Shafts Comparison

    Inside is the same as outside when aiming to me, a feeling of discomfort is a mental thing, one of my mental hurdles is pulling my cue back when I draw the cueball, I'm working on it, Bob Jewett said in another post it's hard to unlearn a bad habit because under stress you will revert to the...

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    14 mph was with a 19oz break cue, I don't have that quick twitch gene I guess, it's like being born to be 7ft tall and good at basketball, it's an advantage that's natural, at least by adding weight to my cue has helped with my break.

    Longer cue for big tables?

    29" butt 2.75" extension that stays on all the time except for wall shots and a 30" shaft, I'm not super tall but this set up is really working for me.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I went the same way, after an over 10 year hiatus from playing pool and selling all my pool gear my main concern was a great playing cue with no concern on it's appearance, my Becue is all CF, it definitely looks more modern, far from a traditional cue, but I love the way it plays and I am...

    Rhino MUST

    No, CF shafts have vault plates not ferrules where the tip is mounted, the Aurora front end is a little further up in the shaft.
