    Caiden tip and product review

    Given the reviews at PoolDawg, it appears the Warrior sound is not that different from other tips. Still, this is interesting given Caiden's description at Seybert's website of the Warrior tip emphasizes its sound while there is no mention of sound in the Fighter description. Here, again, is...

    Rhino full cue test hit

    It appears you found that with Retro's butt, the Rhino shaft hit softer than a similar Rhino shaft with some other butt. Also, that this soft hit is not likely due to Retro cue's tip. Rhino may agree or, at least, it has tried to fix that soft-hit problem in its newer Nebula series. It...

    ⚡ ❗ Got used McDermott H-Series butt?

    I would like to try out McDermott's H-Series butt because it is the only company that allows one to adjust weights the entire length of the butt. It is a little pricey, however, and so I am looking for a used one. I missed my chance a while ago where eBay auctioned off an H-Series cue with...

    Dating a Huebler cue by its logo // Opinion of a Huebler now at auction for $150?

    It appears model HI1 has only vertical lettering and no additional Huebler lettering. Model HI3, however, has both vertical HI3 and vertical HUEBLER lettering (post #27 photos). The photos below appear to show model HI1 butt with only HI1 lettering. The photos are from the Worthpoint auction...

    Things to consider for those forum members buying their first pool cue

    A popular cue among new and cheap players is a $40 GSE cue at Amazon. It was reviewed 3500 times and it averaged 4.5 out of 5. YouTuber Average Joes Pool reviewed it last year and figured it had excessive wobble and played inconsistently. He figured the shaft was fiberglass outside and wood...

    Things to consider for those forum members buying their first pool cue

    I agree that I could not easily tell where weight is added along the length of a cue stick if I could only rely on the balance point of the cue. I disagree that I could not tell a difference in how the cue would feel in my hand. Let me give an example where I easily could tell whether the cues...

    Things to consider for those forum members buying their first pool cue

    What is your (and Manwon's) opinion of McDermott's weight system that allows weights to be placed ANYWHERE along the length of the butt in its H-Series cues? Second photo is the weight system being inserted in the butt with all the shiny weights that would end up nearer the butt end. They...

    Decal cues are the best

    I couldn't find on their webpage the cue they worked on in the video: There are cheaper ones than their Poseidon I posted above. Their model Bocote, for example, is 460 Euros. ____ Their three-year-old YouTube video on cuemaking at their shopt is at

    Decal cues are the best

    Longoni's carom cues are more attractive than their pool cues. Here are sophisticated, well sort-of no-skull sophisticated, discontinued decal cues:

    Shaft to Butt Joint Adapters - Thread Converters

    I bought the adapter that the Grand Wazoo mentioned. That is from eBay seller, Cue Extensions Plus. It fit fine my Lucasi hybrid uniloc shaft. The shaft now fits fine in my 5/16x18 Players and Viper butts. The adapter weighs 1.3 ounces and is 1-7/8 inch long. Regarding Whyte shafts, I...
