Hey Steve You betcha-Bryan rings are right on. I'll try and call Bender tomorrow. I mic'd the tapers on all the Bender shafts I have (can you tell I've been a bit bored lately) and all of them are exactly the same. We'll see. If he wants me to send it to him, I'll do just that. If its...

Ebony around the pin. Its an ivory or white phenolic sleeve. If the joint was repaired, it was done by someone who knew what they were doing. I think it would have been easier to just match the rings on the shaft without adding the white section. If I don't hear back from Bender via email...

Thats certainly a possibility. However the pin is engraved Bender. Gilbert has similar ringwork to Benders as does BCM. Benders have a brown tinge within the silver ladderwork and all six shafts have that brown tinge as well as the same taper.

I don't what "capped" is? Please to explain

Hello Mason, Nice ringwork on your cues !! Hopefully, I'll hear back from Mike Bender. I acquired this cue in a multi cue/$$ trade and don't have a lot of $$$ in it. I noticed the oddity before the deal was consummated but the thing hit so darn sweet (subjectively speaking) that it was worth...

Thanks Kevin. I emailed Mike Bender and hopefully I'll hear back. As I said in my original post, I have two other Benders and the ringwork on these shafts match exactly with the others. What is interesting is that the length of total ringwork on the buttside of this cue (the white section and...

Any Bender experts got nothing better to do on a Saturday night other check out AZ Billiards......?? Just posted some pics of a Bender ebony plain jane in the Cue Gallery section along with a question about the cue.

Nice simple looking ebony Bender with ivory ferrules and one of the smoothest and softest leather wraps I've ever seen. The white joint is sleeved and it could be ivory but I can't tell for sure. This cue sure hits nice (subjectively speaking) Question for Bender experts - is it typical for...

I was told that there is less deflection when using blue chalk-I swear!

To the top for a great looking cue from an outstanding cuemaker. Pete's been known to play a little of pool too!!;)

Actually, he's going to have two cuemaking plants, the one in China you mentioned, and the one here in the states. The one here in the states is to be a joint venture with another established force in the cuebuilding industry. The new cue line will be SchmelkeBrugge. Being in Arizona, hes...

Will-you're being way too serious. Barenburggers lives a couple of miles from me, hes a friend and I see him fairly often........... I was jesting a bit. BTW-you should have said "I knoweth of whom I speak";) And, subjectively speaking, not many cues hit better than his. Have A Really Swell...

Battle Of The Butterfly Guys You must have been talking to someone else other than Barenbrugge. He is an absolute *#@&!! PaulyBlatz-having been able to spend a fair amount of time playing with a Fanelli and a Barrengerergee, there is a world of difference in how (subjectively speaking) the...

Inflation has taken its toll on cuemaking in Arizona. A truckload of bottled root beer doesn't get it anymore. Add 40 lbs of medium roasted gourmet coffee and season tickets to the Arizona Diamondbacks (5th row up right behind the the Diamondbacks dugout) and thats just for his plain cues...

Great advice David. Quick Clean is a superb product. I've used that and your competitors product and much prefer Quick Clean.

Wow-A Crocodile Tear AJ, I do believe that I was the second owner of your cue. I was told by the guy I bought it from that he was the original owner and that he had only had the cue for a couple of months but money issues forced him.... blah blah blah...we all know the story:rolleyes: . I...

Hal-In lieu of a Little Al-hows about a brand new, fresh from China, Action Sneaky, guaranteed to stay straight for a couple weeks or so:eek: :D Ha....just funnin ya! If you get your hands on a Little Al, you'll be a happy guy. Not much too look at in a lot of instances but they sure play...

Upwardly Bumped

I've chatted with a Dean Cue owner whos opinion I highly value and these cues play pretty sporty. For $300, the owners have a nice serviceable SP. Just to reiterate what a lot of the Dean Naysayers were semi-ranting about, the forum marketing of the cue (comparing to Searing, SW's etc, saying...

Thanks Larry- You're correct it will work as a 2 x 4. I think these were going for around $220 or so around Christmas. It was a Christmas thats just sat around the house.
