    Looking for 30" Solid maple shaft

    Are you kidding? If me 20+ years ago living here in Kiev, Ukraine where pool just appeared as quite a new game could get a 60" even split Prather cue in 1999... I'm sure for somebody in USA ...you have to be just lazy to not be able to find a 30" solid maple shaft. There are enough...

    Rings vs. Discs

    Once you know, understand and visualize the constructions used when building cues the answers come naturally. As an example here is the cue for one of my pupils I'm just working on. Something new for me to learn by doing my first cue with segmented handle with some rings on all positions. Half...

    Critique my stroke - video analysis

    It's a good thing you made up your mind to look for help. Like it was already mentioned the next good thing would be looking for a good instructor/coach's help. Filming yourself and some other tricks used could be a great help to work on the flaws but you should be able to see the key problems...

    Mezz Ignite in stock.

    As for the msrp prices of Ignite, Revo, Rogue and other known shafts I don't expect them to drop in a near future if ever. If all those most known manufacturers keep their prices high the chances some new manufacturer or custom builders will have an impact are not so big. If for example small...

    Phenolic Tip (or similar) on CF Shaft (Revo) ...?

    Well when it comes to those cf shafts on such break cues as BK Rush and Mezz Power Break G... the best thing about them in my opinion is their low deflection combined with good energy transfer. For example BK3 already had quite low deflection...noticeably lower than Mezz Power Break Kai while...

    Phenolic Tip (or similar) on CF Shaft (Revo) ...?

    Why not use let's say Hammerhead, Taom or some other similar break tips which seem to have better results over phenolic? It seems like for example Cuetec uses Taom break tip for their Breach breaker? So it should be legal. BTW what tips had Predator used for years for their previous very...

    Mezz WX700 12mm

    If I understood it correctly you need a shaft matching your united joint butt so making an insert - female inited part into the wavy shaft. If so that is possible and much much easier than the other way around. Try to find and apply to a skilled repair-man or a cue-maker who agrees to help you...

    Mezz WX700 12mm

    To get the answers you're looking for just go to mezz web-site and look at those shafts specifications. The material of the ferrule is the same but the length is much different. The construction of ...side wall thickness and other nitty-gritty details are also to consider. There is a risk the...

    Best "cheap" custom cue you've used?

    My first fairly simple cocobolo/bem pj cue which needed to be at least 60 inch from Dan Prather cost me 200$ 21 years ago. Allowed me to learn and enjoy everything about the game.

    Tyler Styer vs Jesus Stencil getting the 9 in 10 ball Race tom100 starts now

    I've just watched a smaller part of the whole thing but from what I've seen your points about the break are spot on. I guess it is very likely they will play even sooner or later and we'll see how they perform and the results at the end. I believe Jesus will improve so till the time they meet...

    Tyler Styer vs Jesus Stencil getting the 9 in 10 ball Race tom100 starts now

    Well...watching Tyler playing it looks like pool is the hardest billiard game...too much this and that...in a long race with this style of playing your stamina should fit. One of the most important things ...as for the audience ...especially a younger generation there is not so much fun watching...

    It is always fun to watch those who competes in saying that this is the lowest, the best ....blah..blah...all that matters at the end simply results in the real game... competition... To have your own opinion and share with others is another story though.

    Ferrule vs. ferrule less, vault plates etc.

    Good point when it comes to measuring the difference in end mass weight...would I be curious about those simple measuments you mentioned I may not have the interest to go further trying on the shaft and then at the table. I've built some shafts for customers who asked standard "old school" solid...

    Ferrule vs. ferrule less, vault plates etc.

    It may be so but as I could not make any measurements of end mass to see the changes if any ...so my experience is based on what is really important - the performance at the table. I'm happy to work as a coach at our pool school for so many years and being able to see the results with my own...
