    Back to Wood?

    I have been playing with a Pechaeur Rogue CF for a few weeks. I like it, but I am not sure it plays better than my Samsara LD TrueShaft. Also, I the feel of the shaft when I touch it still feels odd. I just like the wood better. Has anyone gone back to wood LD from CF? Thanks

    Adapting to CF shaft

    I recently switched to a new Pechaeur cue with a Rogue shaft. I like the way it plays, it is very solid, deflection seems a little better than my Samsara LD TrueShaft, but I can’t get used to the sound it makes when I pull with it, etc. I know it’s odd, but it sounds like plastic and I miss...

    Rogue CF

    I recently switched to a Rogue CF shaft from an LD maple shaft (Samsara TrueShaft). I love the way the Rogue plays but it squeaks through my bridge and is less smooth than I expected. Has anyone else experienced this? Any remedies? Thanks

    Opinions On “Cue plays well”

    Good morning, I am a solid player - not great but I have played for 30 years, have run 3 racks of 9 balls and straight pool high is 28. I have a quick question. As background, I own several cues, including two Samsara’s with LD TrueShafts, a beautiful Scruggs, a wrapless inexpensive Pechaeur...

    Cleaning Aramith Balls

    I recently purchased a set of Aramith Tournament balls. I have had an old set of Super Aramiths for 20 years and cleaned with a ball buffer (attaches to drill and cleans three at a time). The balls have burn spots and I want to avoid that in new balls. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Rogue Shaft/Samasara Value

    Hello, I just made the plunge into SF shafts. I ordered a Rogue 12.8mm and should have it by Friday. I can’t wait to shoot with it. I also had a question on the value of a Samsara. I have it for sale on AZ but curious if I am just too high. It is a beautiful cue made from a John Davis blank...

    Best playing cue under $1,000

    I am trying to sell two cues and planning to use a portion for a new playing cue. I was hoping to spend $1,000 or less. I am looking for a very solid, stiff but “softer” hit. Any recommendations? I was thinking McDermott with a CF shaft, or a Pechaeur with a CF shaft. I appreciate any...

    Soft hitting cue

    When people talk about “best hitting” cues, it seems like many mention stiffer, crisper hits like the Southwests. Are there cues people like that have a very soft hit? For example, I have a production Pechaeur with a stainless joint and I love the soft hit. I hate the weighting of the cue so I...

    Cue versus Butt?

    I am looking at CF shafts and wondering if I should buy one for my Samara cues (I have two) to replace the Samsara LD shaft, or buy one to fit my Scruggs. How much do people think the butt really matters when using a CF shaft? Thanks!

    Perception versus Reality on CF

    Hello, I play with a Samsara with the Samsara LD TrueShaft and I really like it. Has anyone switched from a TrueShaft to a CF? Was there a big difference? Also, for those who have gone from LD shafts to CF shafts, does it just feel better or do yo really see performance benefits? Is it more...

    Recording practice and runs

    I see maybe people post videos of their straight pool runs and of ghost ball games. What is the best, most cost effective way to video the table. Thanks.

    Simonis 860 versus HR

    I have an Olhausen 9' table with 860. I feel like it is a little slow (humidity isn't a huge issue but I do use a dehumidifier in the summer). Two quick quetsions.1) Does the cloth slowdown over time; and 2) is 860HR a little faster than 860 and slower than 760? I generally play 9 ball and...

    Southwest versus...

    Curious to hear people’s opinions. A friend and I were discussing which cues feel the most like a Southwest. I know many will say “none” but if you had to choose one or two, what would it be? Thanks!

    Shaft versus butt

    I am looking at different CF shafts and have hit a few. The question is if I find one I like but get it with the joint to match my cue, how different will it feel/react? I guess the basic question how much does the butt actually matter? That being said,I have two samsara cues with the same...

    Carbon Fiber on a Scruggs

    I was wondering if anyone has used a CF shaft on a Tim Scruggs cue? I was thinking of buying one for my Scruggs but was torn between a LD shaft from Samsara or Predator, or a Revo,Jacoby or Synergy? Part of me also wonders how big an impact the butt actually has once I put the CF shaft in, but I...
