    Jacoby MAG vs McDermott GS vs Viking Kayano

    Last questions I swear...maybe. I'm wanting to go back to a maple shaft. I went to the cue shop today and got my hands on some McDermotts and Vikings. Was looking at the McDermott GS and Viking Kayano models. When I got home I was doing some more research and came across Jacoby MAG series but...

    What cue manufacturer(s) would you say has the best customer service and warranty?

    I'm in the market for a new cue because I'm not having luck with Cuetec warranty getting back with me so far. I'm looking for a cue under $500 from a manufacturer that has excellent customer service. I've been doing a lot of research and currently leaning at McDermott. I like that their shafts...

    Why would I shoot better with my one piece house cue?

    And I paid much less than that about six years ago or so. I always say they're really nice house cues.

    Why would I shoot better with my one piece house cue?

    This is the set I have: https://www.pooldawg.com/brand/pooldawg/action-one-piece-cue-bundle My crack is on the side of the cue at the threads on the butt. It's not affecting anything but it just sucks. Lol MAybe the Avid just doesn't fit me well. I played with a Falcon for like 28 years and...

    Why would I shoot better with my one piece house cue?

    I forget about the taper. You're correct 57" conical taper vs pro as well.

    Why would I shoot better with my one piece house cue?

    Ok so I'm pissed my Cuetec has a crack and I'm leaving it alone until I hear back from Cuetec on warranty. So I've been shooting at home with a one piece Pooldawg house cue. I'm shooting really well. My guess is it's because I suck and the 13mm shaft with a nickel round tip is helping vs my...

    Less expensive Joss cues and quality?

    Yeah he was saying no Joss cue is imported. I read it as "No. Joss cue is imported." The first time too. LOL

    Less expensive Joss cues and quality?

    Since my 2 year old Cuetec Avid has a crack, and it seems fairly common, it has left a bad taste in my mouth for ever buying a Cuetec again. I'm thinking of going back to a maple shaft and have been looking at a few different makers including Joss. I'm looking at something like the JOS02 cue...

    Looking for a cue that plays like an old Falcon

    I made a post yesterday about my Cuetec Avid having a crack and I think even if they'll fix it under warranty I want to be done with it. I've bought and sold a lot of cues and the one I sort of regret selling was my old Falcon. It was just balanced and felt good to shoot with. A lot of these...

    Avid Cuetec Florian Kohler has a crack. Anyone experience this?

    Thanks man! I'm glad I saw it because tomorrow I was going to buy a new break cue so if I need a new play cue I'll get that instead. I mean it doesn't seem to affect anything but it's definitely not going to get smaller and heal itself.

    Avid Cuetec Florian Kohler has a crack. Anyone experience this?

    I've had this cue since first week of January 2024 and I baby everything I own. Have never broke with this cue and pretty sure it's never been knocked over. Just noticed a crack in the joint. I reached out to Cuetec to see what they'd say if anything. Anyone experience anything like this with...

    Purpleheart shaft vs maple for dings - Break cue

    Very nice! Thanks! I guess if I hate it I could get a cf shaft at that point. The Action I have has a stupid action quick release that nobody seems to make shafts for. LOL

    Purpleheart shaft vs maple for dings - Break cue

    I currently break with a cheap Action break jump cue and it has to be made of the softest wood ever made. I baby my stuff and this thing is constantly getting dings in it. I have more dings in it than I ever did with my 30 year old Falcon and Dufferin. Anyway, I was looking at a carbon fiber...

    Stencil placement

    They look so cheesy. I think the Aramith one is like a vinyl decal but the Simonis one is like a cheap clear sticker with the logo printed on it and it makes the table looke so cheap in my opinion. I'd leave them both off.
