    Identifying Wood

    Thanks for the compliments. When it comes to the first one it was my first experience with a leather wrap. I've never had a cue with a leather wrap and this one is the first I've built with a wrap for a customer. I liked the feel so much that I know one day I'm going to build a certain cue with...

    Yea, the way Ronnie played those frames is something to remember...just one more example why he is a genius. It is a pure joy to watch him playing like this. Keep it up Ronnie!

    Identifying Wood

    Well cue-building is my new hobby I enjoy learning. I'm quite a newbie at it but I have already some favorite woods I used in my cues. None of them were mentioned and there are some more in my collection which are also amazing. Mother nature is so good at creating some real beauty. Here are two...

    World Snooker Championships 2020

    Same here and after Ronnie managed to come back with the same 6:2 score today when the overall score is 8:8 it's going to be a thrilling evening session to see the winner. Excellent match so far and the semi where Mark Selby is waiting might be like the final.

    The latest announcement from Matchroom just saw on FB...well it claims Fedor Gorst will represent team Europe and Justin Bergman team USA at the Mosconi cup in December. Both qualify as the top player on each team's current rankings... So more likely it won't be cancelled. Of course still a lot...

    Mosconi Cup announcement coming on Monday

    I'm quite optimistic to hear some good news from Matchroom after a couple of days ago EPBF announced the postponed european championships 2020 will happen in Turkey from 13th to 25th of November. So there is some hope for a great event to happen. Of course there are quite a lot of questions...

    any pros use <58" cue?

    The main rule for me the cue should allow me to make a grip depending on the shot and having follow through effortless without too much work. It simply depends on the height and wingspan i.e. that is individual like it goes to the stance. When it comes to those methods to measure the right cue...

    My amazing full spliced player

    If trying to see some good things about this current times with this damn Covid-19...well I was able to see at least one and that was some free time appeared to spend on the things I had on my mind but just did not have time before this quarantine was announced. So finally I was able to give...

    Carbon front travelers cue

    May be I'm just lost in my translation of what you described. :scratchhead: The main question for me what you're trying to achieve. Last month I've got finally my blanks I was waiting for. I've already built two shafts and currently playing with one of them. The second one is for my student. So...

    Play of ferruleless shafts?

    No offence...I have quite a few aphorisms either in russian or ukranian and I believe there will be much more lost in translation there;).

    Play of ferruleless shafts?

    All those things are pretty obvious for somebody with a curious mind. I have quite enough experience to understand what is really important and the meaning of each detail either it goes to the construction or any part of the game etc. When it comes to my maple shaft it has inserts at both ends...

    Cuetec Cynergy as a break shaft

    So when you're playing with your wooden shaft and your hands sweat you don't have the same problem? That's what sounds strange for me. I'm just switching from my maple shaft to my cf shaft and the only thing annoying me is that sound cf surface makes when it rubs any metal parts of the table...

    Play of ferruleless shafts?

    There are options when it comes to the construction of the shaft. In this case at the tip end. I've played with a "ferrule less" maple shaft once I started lerning and experimenting at cue-building till I've tried and built cf shaft for my player three weeks ago and now I'm switching to it. Both...

    Play of ferruleless shafts?

    You said on your shafts...so if a cuemaker is going to build two shafts for you and you're curious about the difference just ask to build one with a ferrule and another ferrule less. Then you'll be able to play them, compare and figure out yourself. There is a difference in a hit with different...

    Odin Break Cue

    If my memory does not fail that is the first generation of break cues made by Goran at Go-customs. It's from Europe (Netherlands). They do have their web-site with contact information.

    Artsiest looking custom cue I ever seen.

    If the beauty is in the eye of the beholder...it might be the idea of designing this cue was so each one could find some beauty for his taste...

    How long has the idea of a Carbon Fiber shaft been around?

    Now when I do have at least some experience with shafts made using cf blanks and some knowledge about the constuction, process, materials used and so on... to tell the truth the main question for me is what could not be done 10, 20, 30 years ago the way it is done nowadays so made it possible...
