OK, I'm gonna try a CF shaft. Been using wood for 53 years, first the Schon OEM's, then got a couple precat preds when they first came out and have been using the pred cat shafts now for some time. I'd like a CF shaft that hits at least somewhat like wood meaning it doesn't have a metallic, ting...

I had asked recently about an extension for a Schon and got a lot of feedback, I got a lot of good info from you guys thanks very much. I bought the Budget Billiards item and it arrived yesterday. I installed it w/o the weight bolt and tried it. I then bought a variety of 3/8x16 socket screws...

I need to get an extension but want to know more about how it attaches to a Schon cue. I have the longer heavier weight bolt, the bumper, and the screw that holds the bumper in place. As is, the cue is weighted perfectly the way I like it. In this configuration, how does the extension attach...

First off, I don't jump very well and am working on that. I've been using a McDermott Stinger jump/break for a number of years and it does OK as a break cue but I can't help but think there are much better options for a jump cue. I would prefer to have a more effective combo jump/break cue so I...

I've played with wood shafts, OEM Schon in the early days, then Mezz WXC700's and Cat and Precat Predators for the last 45 years and am fine with them. I recently tried a friends Predator CF cue and it didn't do anything for me but granted I only hit about 3 racks. As I understand it, a CF shaft...

OK, you've done your pre-shot routine and are now bridged down on the cue ball to start your warm up strokes. during these strokes of the cue, what is your sequence of eye movement between the CB, OB and pocket? I personally will usually take 3 to 5 warm up strokes depending on length and...

I have a Palmer PB7 I bought in the early '80's, it comes with three shafts. The butt is 15.70 oz and has a few small dents and scratches in it and has beautiful colors and sharp points. The wrap is in good shape and is not fraying or coming loose in any way. The shafts are as follows; #1...

I have three Schons, one SL6 I bought new in 1996 and two SL4's both bought in the last 4 years, both in excellent condition. I have a number of shafts, 4 OEM Schons, 4 Mezz WX700's and 4 Predators, (2 cat shafts and 2 pre-cats). If you roll the shafts alone, most roll very straight a few may...

I'm looking to take some pro level lessons and thought I heard Dave Matlock is sometimes in the KCMO area. Anyone know how I could connect with him? Thanks.

I learned and generally speaking, still use the ghost ball method of finding a target point on an object ball. The works relatively well especially on shorter shots. When the shots are longer, I tend to have trouble hitting the target point on the ball. My reasoning is, how can you identify an...

I've been using Kamui black clear super softs for a number of years now and have always like them. They have been consistent from batch to batch. I recently had three shafts re-tipped with the super softs and each one of them is noticeably harder than the tips on my old shafts. The Kamui's are...

I have an old Palmer PB7 I bought new in the early eighties, it was my player for years and the finish shows it. There are a couple of fairly deep dents on the inlay points on the forearm. The dents cross over all the different colors on the points. How does a repairman fix/lift these dents...

I've been using Kamui black/clear super softs for a number of years and like them and am considering trying the Kamui tans. If you have personal experience with using Kamui tans and blacks, (I don't care if they had the clear pad on them or not), I'd like to know your thoughts. I want to know if...

Has anyone experimented using any of the Kamui tips with and w/o the clear pad? For example, using a super soft black clear, (with the clear pad), and a super soft black w/o the pad? Or it could be a super soft tan with and w/o the pad? I know the pad is used primarily so the glue doesn't...

I have an old Palmer PB7 I bought new I believe in the mid eighties. I was considering buying a LD shaft for it and using it for a player sometimes. It has a metal joint like my 5/16-14 Schon's but the pin has more threads per inch than the Schon. Would this joint be considered a 5/16-18...

WTB Mezz WX700 united joint, (5/16x14) to fit Schon, needs to be at least 12.6 at the ferrule

I will be competing on a mens 8 ball team at the upcoming BCA tournament in Las Vegas. We will be there between Feb 28 to Mar 4th. I believe play for our division is March 1st thru the 4th. I've never done this tourney before so don't know what to expect in terms of the format, (hours of play)...

I just acquired a couple Predator Cat Shafts. These I believe are the 2nd issue shaft, (with the 314 and cat logo on them), before the 314-2, -3 etc. I assume these have the first few inches cored out behind the ferrule. These measure about 12.74 at the ferrule. I'd like to take the shaft OD...

If you had to identical pro taper wood shafts from the same manufacturer and one was say, 12.5mm od at the ferrule and the other 12.9mm od, and the thicker one would be a bit thicker up the balance of the shaft to the joint, which one would deflect more? My logic tells me the 12.5mm would...
