    The Becue Prime II 12.0 shaft feels like a wood shaft that transfers power better, there is feedback from the shaft as well as flex, last week my teammate said he wondered why I was hitting the cueball so hard because of the action on the cueball I was getting, a little later he came and said...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I wouldn't use the cue because it's not the cue I own now, it's not a cheap cue but it's not anywhere near that kind of money, I don't blame you for using it though, if that's the cue you play the best with you should play with it.

    I don't think anything would happen to them, it was just a number to show that even in 10 years the cost of the shaft is not that much.

    I paid $1500 for a custom cue built for me almost 20 years ago, that would be double in today's money.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    There are alot of things that people collect that don't appreciate in value, I don't have the desire to collect cues, for me they are the most important tool I use in my pool game, I enjoy the art and precision in building a custom cue I just don't have the desire to invest in owning a cue that...

    Sounds like you have an idea of what your cue will hit like based on your wood selections, good idea, the worst thing that could happen is the cue doesn't, back to the drawing board, if the cue does, you have a 1 of kind cue you designed, priceless!!!!

    Becue shafts are priced on the higher end as well but in the long run it won't really be that expensive, with shipping ect. let's say it cost you $700, in 1 year that is less than $70 a month, in 5 years that's less than $35 a month, you are a pool addict not a crack addict, if it was crack it...

    Left handed chalk - for left eye dominant players

    Change is always uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable and then natural, before you get to far into stroke and stance, get your vision center straight, once all those things are aligned your progress will come much faster, it has for me.

    Let's say you paid $1000 for your shaft, in 1 year that is less than $100 a month, in 10 years it's less than $10, if it's a CF shaft it's not unreasonable to expect it to last 10 years, it's not what it COST you but the value you receive for what you paid, if you love the shaft and it helps you...

    Solid vs layered tips

    Bulletproof Recoil tips don't, at least the Hard tips don't, they are a BCA approved synthetic tip, hold shape and chalk great, all you need is a Tip Pik type tool every once in a while, nice option if you've never tried one, I don't want to count how many tips I tried before sticking with these.

    Solid vs layered tips

    I haven't tried those yet but I almost tried I pay a pro player to endorse my tip so I make alot of money tip, the sticker was too long and wouldn't fit on my case so I didn't get one, what good is it to use the same tip as SVB if everyone at the pool hall doesn't know I'm using the same tip as...

    I don't think it's the same, an original Van Gogh painting is valuable because of who painted it, you could think the painting is horrible but it would still be worth a lot of money, there was a day when some production cues were poorly made and some still are but now there are a lot of...

    Couldn't agree with you more, I didn't grow up playing pool, for many reasons I got into it much later but I definitely have the bug now, hit and feel to the person that owns the cue is the most important thing, if your cue makes you feel comfortable I believe makes it easier to improve, if...
