Up for sale is a purpleheart Titlist conversion by Paul Drexler. Two shafts included: 1 used, 1 unused. Unfortunately, I just re-rolled the shafts and it appears neither of them are straight. Cue has been in storage for the last 3 months, so I'm guessing something happened... not sure how, but...

SOLD PENDING PAYMENT, THANKS! No pictures, my digital camera took a dump on me... but the cue is maple; about 2/3rds of the way down is what I believe is a cocobolo section at the butt. There are some small diamond inlays & two "arrow" inlays that span the length of the forearm. Small kotapele...

When a cuemaker tells you that your cue is in the mail, what is the appropriate amount of time it is proper to wait before asking about it?

Not necessarily cue-related, but I thought the cuemakers might be able to answer this best... For an upcoming project, I'll be in need of a large number of phenolic discs. They need to be 2" in diameter & about 1/16" in thickness. I've searched all over looking for a vendor to supply these but...

What is the viability of making a masse cue out of an old Titlist? Would it be feasible or even possible? If so, any cuemakers here who would be willing to attempt it?

In memoriam - The Beast - 2001-2007. I arrived at the local bar last night to find my favorite house cue -- the one I used to break with -- in a tragic & irrepairable state. Someone (or some Thing) had put a large crack directly where the joint would be if it were a two piece cue. She was a...

My mother is looking for a table to put in her and her husband's basement. A local guy is selling a table, she described it to me as a "Showood or Showwood" 8' with 2 piece slate bottom. Anyone have any idea if they are a good brand of table? Any table mechanics out there know if they hold up...

Well, tax returns are just around the corner and I thought I would resume my search for a nice Sailor of Racine cue. If anyone has anything for sale or knows someone who saw a guy at a bar talking to his girlfriend about his mate Ted who's selling one, let me know, I'm interested. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone knows if BK2 shafts are available separately from the breaking cue itself. Preferably one without a joint. I don't want it for breaking, but would like to perform an experiment with it. -Matt

I'm looking to trade for a 23oz. or heavier break cue (under 25oz.) with a hard leather tip; preferably in good condition and not too flashy. A sneaky pete style would be preferred as long as the shaft is stiff and the tip is around 13mm; also, it must be wrapless. I have a Predator BK2 for...

In two to three months I'll be looking to pick up another shooting cue. I'm thinking that I would definitely like to get ahold of a Sailor of Racine cue. Preferably something with points but I'm not ruling out anything right now. If you have one that you are willing to sell, PM me with info and...

In theory, if I wanted to design the ultimate break cue... what factors should I consider? What components should I look for? This is what I'm thinking, thus far: -Low deflection pie spliced purpleheart shaft -Short tungsten ferrule (works against the low deflection principle, though, so...

https://www.platinumbilliards.com/images/large_sp8nw.jpg Anyone know anything about these? -Matt Edit: They've since photoshopped the original shaft out of the picture. It was marked 314^2.

Are most sneaky pete style cues full splice? If not, anybody make a good full splice sneaky pete ... something similar to the old Titlists with or without veneers? Thanks, -Matt

I've used a Predator Z for the last 8 or 9 months and I've decided that it's really not for me. I love the action I can get on the cue ball, and the minimal amount of deflection, but... it's just not for me. The tip is too small, the taper is uncomfortable and most importantly, I just don't feel...

What's the difference between a "Courtland wrap" and a white with green speck Irish linen wrap? Thanks in advance, -Matt

Anyone know a place or person that sells the white oak Titlists? I'm not even sure how much these generally go for, so I'm just trying to establish a general price on them. -Matt

Just wondering... what are some of the more durable exotic woods? I've heard Snakewood tends to break, and have heard some cue builders even have difficulty with Cocobolo; are there any woods out there that should be avoided, specifically in a break cue where there will be a lot of pressure...
