    Need advice - deal not as expected

    Pinocchio, I agree with you 100%. I am talking to the seller and there are no hard feelings and I think we will probably work something out. I agree with you completely that when I get shafts at 12.5mm I feel like I just got a cue butt. To make matters worse it is a trade up where I was...

    Need advice - deal not as expected

    I completely agree Joe. When I am looking at a cue, if the shaft is below 12.7mm I start thinking about the cost of a new shaft and if I am willing to spend that amount and wait for that amount of time. Thanks again for the feedback, it was interesting to hear everyones opinions. Thanks...

    Need advice - deal not as expected

    I am trying to work out something with the seller, but I am concerned that no matter what these smaller shafts will hurt my resale price if I ever decide to sell this cue? Does anyone else agree that small shaft sizes like 12.5 or below kill the resale value of cues? If I were to consider the...

    Need advice - deal not as expected

    Guy, Thanks for the feedback, I've seen it done both ways and I took this into consideration and measured it both ways. Either way that I measured it, the shafts were like 12.5 :( . By the way, I prefer to just measure the ferrule right below the tip this way a mushroomed tip or something...

    Need advice - deal not as expected

    I have enough respect for the seller to not mention any names or details because I believe he is a good honest seller, but I am just seeking advice. If you were doing a trade with someone or buying a cue and you were told the shafts (2) were 12.75mm and then you received the cue to find shafts...

    Buyer / Seller transaction report

    Good transaction with cuedoctor I helped broker a deal between cuedoctor and a friend of mine and I would just like to compliment cuedoctor on a fine transaction. He sold a friend of mine an Instroke case and since I had PayPal and was on AZ I got in the middle of the deal. Cuedoctor was very...

    WTB - Schon Black Widow

    Schon Cue I have a fancy limited edition version of the Black Widow. In all reality you probably wouldn't notice it being similiar if I hadn't mentioned it and I wouldn't have know if Evan at Schon wouldn't have told me it was built using the Black Widow as the base cue. It is a limited...

    IPT- Vegas Betting Odds

    Huge Odds Change I was going to bet on Shane Van Boening and Jason Miller and the odds went from 500/1 on both of these guys to 150/1 and 200/1 in less than 3 hours. Someone got a wake up call or reality check I guess. Oh well I still placed a small bet, but really wish I could have gotten...

    Short Ivory Ferrules

    JER, I have read some other threads and articles that made me believe that the shorter (and or thinner) the ferrule the lower the end mass and the less deflection? I don't have the experience that you have, but it seems like I have read a lot of things that state the ferrule is HEAVIER than...

    Short Ivory Ferrules

    JER, Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback on this subject. The cues that I have played with that had short ferrules have mainly been Ivorine or LBM ferrules (vs Ivory) and were on cues like Schon and Capone. I prefer the hit, feel, and sound of Ivory, but was just...

    Short Ivory Ferrules

    I am having a new cue built by Mike Bender and I am curious to get feedback and opinions on the subject of Ivory ferrules. I am considering having my cue built with SHORT ivory ferrules. I believe Bender does 1" ivory ferrules and I am thinking about requesting either 3/4" or 5/8" ivory ferrules...
