You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoy it).

So do you believe they in Predator ripped-off the idea of Becue? Were not first Revos offered already at the time the start-up of Becue was born? When it comes to building those CF shafts...well once you found a supplier who offers quality cf blanks with the taper you really like you'll have so...

As for the future of CF in american pool, chinese pool and may be carom it is very likely you're right. When it comes to snooker and especially russian piramid that is completely another story. If all the new generation want to play with will be full carbon fiber cues unfortunately that is the...

Have you ever tried Predator BK 3 for example? Its shaft has fairly low deflection. I don't even mention those break cues with CF shafts available now but if your main concern is accuracy BK 3 is a good choice for less money comparing to those with CF.

You're absolutely right. It does not take that much to learn some important details of the building process while working on a cf shaft and as I said it really makes life much easier for à maker but at the same time it takes some things out which most talented cue builders appreciate and aspire...

Thanks. When it comes to how many could...would and such it does not have much sense to waste the time on such discussion Much better to speak about something you've done so having some experience and results. I don't have much interest to mass produce cf shafts but I'm glad to have more...

Look ...if comparing to maple blanks offered outhere...surely more expensive but they are completely ready to finish and as I said it takes "a joke" comparing to maple blanks. If go deeper in the subject...for example how many out of let's say 10 or 100 maple blanks will not end up as a shaft;)...

...and greed being the main reason plus the demand just shows them they can ask for that price. Just a simple question: have you ever built a quality LD shaft out of wood and CF to have a practical experience and opinion on the results to compare? I have some...and one day I may share my...

There is no big secret why do some players go back to what they were successful with. The reason is pretty simple and you just need to be observational. The main thing about it...those top players had devoted so much time and did so many things to reach their level of play...while so many fans...

The funny side of the story is you're trying to get a perfect fit when there may be no perfect solutions. At the end of the day it will be your decision and your responsibility... "Best the enemy of the good" ;)

To be short it depends on your final goal... When it comes to me I want to face all the "surprises" the wood stores while I'm working on a cue so after the product is finished and in customer's hands he does not...

Wow...Gorgeous cue...all about it and it's great to enjoy and have fun).

I have all my respect to you as a great and creative cuemaker whose works really stand out... If I wanted just to make a buck I would never choose this sport I love working with kids and so on and on. The same goes to cue building...I'll be happy if one day I get back the investments). Look at...

That's a real beauty and excellent workmanship too. Someone will be lucky to play with it).

I'll be glad to share some pictures as soon as I finish it. I'm looking forward our pool school to open soon after this ... quarantine to test it at the table;)

Enjoying a new one on the finish line;)

So beautiful player over here...just outstanding. GLWS!
