    Converting A Break/Jump Cue

    I love my Carolina Custom break/jump cue but over the years I have come to hate the leather wrap on it, so I got me wondering would it be possible to convert it to a wrapless cue?

    I'm designing a pair of custom cues in a tuxedo style but they will not be black & white so I was wondering if you could show photos of your tuxedo cues so I can see variations of the style.

    Break Cue Weight

    Is there any truth in the thinking that the taller & lighter you are the lighter the break stick & the heavier & shorter you are the heavier the break stick you should use. If so what weight of break stick would some of the more seasoned players on here suggest for someone 5'7" & 160lbs.

    How Intricate Can You Get?

    I have an idea in mind regarding my next matching set cue design but for what I have in mind I'm not sure it can be pulled off so here's my question: Where the points, veneers & inlays are concerned is there a limit to the type of design that can be used or within reason can you let your...

    Seen it all now!

    I saw this video pop up on my recommended timeline on YouTube & I have 2 questions: 1. Why would you use an aluminium ferrule? 2. Surely for the love of all that's holy a tip is never ever going to stick to aluminium whatsoever, the same as it would adhere to wood? https://youtu.be/FT1_KzEpH6A

    Since I started playing pool in 2005 I have always used a hard tip & I can make the CB spin but not as much as I'd like, so my question is which hardness of tip will impart more spin with a little less effort?

    Hunter Lombardo

    I'm watching the predator tour stop 5 from Gotham City Billiards stream & Hunter is playing Jayson Shaw, when one of the commentators said "I've know Hunter for 25yrs since he was 14" which would make him 39 if my maths is correct. I'm sorry but that's impossible unless he's made a deal with...

    I was looking at a couple of cues a custom & Mezz the custom had a uni-loc joint & the Mezz the wavy joint & was wondering if I was to get a Mezz is it possible to use a Katana shaft with them. That's why I need to know the difference.

    Is $1,000 Enough?

    As I've said in a couple of previous threads I'm looking to upgrade my cues & go custom, I have picked the cue maker & what I want done design wise but what I would like opinions on is wether or not $1,000 is an acceptable amount to have a matching pair of cues made? (One player & one break).

    Zen Cues

    I have seen by chance while searching for threads on Katana cues one of these in the cue gallery & they look stunning, my question is: How the hell do you purchase them because all the sites either won't give a price or they are in Chinese.

    Mezz vs Lucasi

    In my last post titled "Wrapless Cue Makers On A Budget" I asked for advice on cue makers who fit this criteria & it was very much appreciated as I contacted each you all linked to but unfortunately most were about $200 out of my price range. On an upside I have found both a Lucasi & Mezz both...

    Hirano Hard Cue Tip

    I have just had one of these installed on my Scorpion player (which I'm in the process of upgrading) & I have to say after using a Le Pro tip for years the difference is phenomenal. (To me anyway) The amount of action I can impart on the CB without much effort is incredible & if a hard cue tip...
