I have a 13mm Joss shaft that weighs 3.6 ounces. I bought the Joss HP shaft and it weighs 3.8 ounces. Ive done deflection test comparing both and set up many shots. I can't tell a damn bit of difference. Any ideas why?

The Joss HP shaft has a lightweight dowel in the front to reduce end mass. The shaft is 12.75. I use a regular Joss shaft at 12 mm. I am wondering if my 12 mm wouldn't naturally have less end mass/deflection than the 12.75 HP shaft. Any thoughts? Ty

What type of rubber bumper in the butt section is best? Is there a best shape and does it affect deflection? Would a carbon fiber butt bumper be better?

Well folks it is the end of the world officially. Earl has gone carbon fiber. My favorite player has gone to the dark side. I just watched a video from an exhibition on 5/17/23 with Earl shooting with his new JFlowers cue with a carbon fiber shaft. He was missing a ton of balls. easy shots...

I'm looking for information on the taper of the Avid shaft. Is it a pro taper or conical? Also, is that glass bonded still get sticky or have they smoothed that out? Ty

Anyone have any problems with Monster Break Billiards or Cuesight as far as online shopping?

Viking has the V Pro shaft and the Vikore. The ferrule is the same material and length on both shafts. The only difference is the Vikore is cored near the end of the shaft with a lighter wood. If you are replacing wood with lighter wood, how is that really any noticeable or even meaningful...

In this last year I have watched Predator shafts go from $300 to $339 and now they are at $359. 20% in a years time. That's a lot. But some cue prices have stayed the same for the most part, a few have increased price but not many that I have seen. No idea why I started this thread. Just...

Started out in life playing with a 13mm shaft. last 20 years I've been playing with 12.75-12.5. I wanted to try lower, like 12mm. I play with a Joss with a standard maple Joss shaft. So I ordered a 12mm shaft from the Poolcueshop on Ebay. I get the shaft and it's fatter than my 12.5 that I...

Howdy howdy howdy. Folks talk about how this cue maker or company uses crappy wood or uses good wood or uses wood excavated from the tomb of Cleopatra which is magical. Some use A grade shaft wood. Some use AA grade. Some nobody knows what they use. My question is this. How does the grade...

What I am asking is totally subjective. I get it. I am considering ordering a Josey sneaky. Rosewood. I currently play Joss, regular maple shaft, 12.5 with a Triangle. How are Josey cues balanced, hit, feel? How do you think they play? Thank you for any info.

Thank you in advance for any advice. In 1997 I bought a Mike Erwin cue and it played so smooth. When I would stroke the cue ball it was like shooting into a cloud or a pillow. Sometime I couldn't even feel it hit the cue ball. I am wanting to know, if you had to build a cue to play as soft...

Vantage shaft for sale. I purchased from Premier Billiards. Victory medium tip. Fits radial pin. I have only played a few hours with it. It's just not for me. $280. Please use PayPal. Tried to upload more pics. Says file is to large? How do I fix that?

This is my first post since on AZ. Please be gentle. I will review the Aspire 1-1 cue. For reference, previous cues I have owned/played with extensively. Custom Mike Erwin (1996 cue), Predator with 314-2, Meucci w/black dot, Jacoby with Edge Hybrid, Meucci with Pro Shaft, Joss with maple...
