    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    You posted what if it is a "bad playing" cue, that is an opinion, you should spend your money on what you think is best for you, if I didn't love my Becue I would sell it at a loss and move on, I posted the pictures of my David Tice custom cue so you would know it's not about the money, that cue...

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    There is a difference between a "bad playing" cue and a cue that you "don't like the hit" of, I would never invest in any product hoping to be able to sell it if I don't like it, you always lose when selling used unless it is a collector's item that someone else just has to have.

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    Very true, but unless you have collector's type cues resale value is not really good on any of them, when I got back into playing pool after a more than 10 year hiatus my main concern was finding a great playing cue, what I've found with Becue cues is their shafts are super consistent, just...

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    My David Tice custom cue with wooden shafts had a very similar sound to my Becue with the Prime II 12.0 shaft but everyone is different, I wouldn't care if it sounded like a wet fart every time I hit a ball if I never missed a shot.....

    Are you excited about BLACK FRIDAY?!

    I got a great deal on a spare shaft for my Becue, had a Bulletproof Recoil tip installed on Monday, Santa was good to me this year !!!!

    3 Shafts Comparison

    With all LD shafts you don't need to compensate for certain shots.... I don't know about you but I don't just want to make the object ball but I want it to go in the part of the pocket I am aiming for, if you intend to play this game at a high level just making the object ball is not enough...

    Gloves and Carbon fiber shafts

    Clean chalk dust off the shaft, you don't feel it on the glove but it's not a bad idea to keep it off your shaft

    3 Shafts Comparison

    LD = low deflection, that means you still have to compensate for the shaft you are using, IMHO the only advantage CF has over wood shafts is consistency, if you are using a high quality CF shaft and you have a spare shaft they should play identical, I have found that this is not the case with...

    Gloves and Carbon fiber shafts

    I used a glove before CF shafts were ever made, I just liked the consistency of wearing the glove and how it made the shaft feel slick all the time so there was no adjustment moving to CF, I do know players who use CF without wearing gloves, so much like most billiard gear, be willing to try...

    Rhino MUST

    I wouldn't put Becue with any other CF shaft builder, they position the direction of the fibers in different parts of the shaft and use different bonding agents in different parts as well, they have a patented technology called the Aurora front end to reduce front end mass, great shafts and...

    Rhino MUST

    You forgot Becue, take a look at their Prime II shaft, you can get 30" and 31" lengths if you want, Great company from Italy who built the world's first complete CF cue.

    Predator Fanboys

    I really didn't have to contact Becue but I wanted talk to someone there, I wanted to see how they treated a potential customer, Alessandro was passionate about the sport and bringing the advantages of CF to it, I stopped playing about 2012, I owned first a Meucci, then a Predator, and finally...

    Predator Fanboys

    Not an A hole, I don't mind letting someone take a few shots but the first stupid thing done and the "test drive" is over, I don't want to be without MY cue because the person I'm doing a favor for is showing zero respect for my cue and me.

    Pro pool without a shot clock

    I think it depends on the game too, if you are playing 8 ball I don't think it's too long, I don't think most players would max out those times anyway, if you can't make up your mind and shot in 40 seconds .......

    Will it be a low deflection double Uni-loc male pin? Is Gorst or Filler using it? Where can I buy one!!!!!

    Predator Fanboys

    I consider myself very lucky to have found this website after a long absence from the game, I swore I would never use a CF shaft and thought Becue was a dumb name for a cue, I read reviews by Hawaiian Eye and asked some questions on his posts, he was very generous and answered my questions...

    I don't think $1500 is a lot for a quality cue, if you keep the cue only 10 years that is only $150 a year, the longer you own it the cheaper it becomes, I prefer to buy once, I did try a couple of their shafts to find my favorite but in the grand scheme of things it's still not a lot of money...

    Pro pool without a shot clock

    I'm nowhere near your speed, it would probably be an easy win for you.

    Good Things and Good People

    Far better than mindless video games that only teach you how to remember a sequence of moves in a computer program, with pool they are learning geometry, physics, risk assessment, and they are actually using their bodies walking around the table. I know, it's not running a marathon but it sure...
