Fedor's abilities in jump shots is one of the reasons Justin will have hard times to find the way how to win (imo).

Nice review of day 1. After what I've seen in those few minutes it is obvious day 3 might become just a formality if day 2 goes similar scenario.

I'm glad to be quite new to this craft working with woods. Having less experience can give some positives ... being able to notice, to be surprised and pleased, enjoy those details that might be the trivial round some time later. I'll be glad to stay at this state as long as possible;). Those...

Thank you for nice words, Serafin. I really appreciate it and I'm happy every time I succeed to make somebody enjoy what I had enjoyed. That was my cue #7 in total and I had some fun working on it so now I wish you to have fun playing with it).

Three piece cues were pretty popular in russian piramid in the past. I believe it is a good idea to build one. For example if G10 pins are used and no metal for additional weight in it...it is a good solution for travelling...when flying I believe it can fit in carry-on baggage. I wish you to...

It's pretty simple If you often overhit with the Ignite ... you might not have enough time playing with it to adapt. From what I've heard Revo 11.8 is incredibly low deflection...so low some did not want to reinvent their game. I don't think it is less powerful comparing to Ignite. Ignite is a...

Thanks for the compliments. When it comes to the sticks or majority conserning billiards I'm just having some fun and enjoying whatever I do ...coaching, teaching, playing, building ...learning and trying to improve where I want to... I've got my first own cue lathe in December 2019 (thanks to...

A mate asked to replace a tip on his Ignite shaft yesterday. He said he prefers it just slightly tapered. So today I've installed a Kamui tip he gave me. For my playing shafts I always do it the same way...very slight taper. For me the key is to not touch the ferrule and a pad if there is one...

I've installed that milkdud tip on a cue I built for a 12 y.o. kid I coach. I did not have much time with it just tested to see how it plays. It plays good for the money. I've checked how it holds shape and if it mushroomed. Looks good so far and I had not noticed miscues from a kid. So it...

To be short...well first of all the construction is different...snooker cues are either one piece or 3/4 ...most are ash with butterfly splices of some exotics to get the weight and balance needed. The hit is mostly depends on the major wood in the cue which is ash ...its quality and...

The cue is sold.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your compliments and you have a good eye;).

I've finished an interesting cue recently. First of all due to the woods used. I don't know if the wood I used for a forearm and butt sleeve was ever used in a cue at least I haven't seen any yet. So the wood is Pau Santo also called Brazillian blackheart. It's pretty rare and really hard to...

Being the one who likes using tomahawk on playing shafts and it's great material especially for LD shafts I don't see why to use it for a breaking shaft. I prefer something harder there and good phenolic just works well for me. You might get some answers to help from Kelly (mvp cues).

I did understand what you mean). Everything in a cue has its meaning and contribution to how the cue as a whole feels and performs. The feeling means a lot in this game and in this aspect it is more about the cue as a whole. When it comes to what I enjoy in my cues if to be short that is about...

Ok, what is "playing" of a cue that is all in the shaft? It might be great marketing move for those big production manufacturers...but for me as a coach, player, builder "playing" is mostly about the player). When it comes to the cues as a whole most experienced players have their own...

There are at least a few details that need to be known ... what butt's weight is the goal... is it going to be wrapless or with one? Just to begin with.

If a deflection is your major concern than you might be wrong. Just some common sense... where you can achieve less end mass??? With cf and those thin walls (depending on the manufacturer vary from 0.9 to 1.2 or some more also depending if it's a playing or breaking shaft). With a wood you are...

To tell the truth it was already mentioned about looking for possibilities to try at the table first before paying a premium price. Of course once all those cf shafts started to appear and become popular with so much talking about ... well I was curious and I just used any possibility to try...
