Thanks for all the feedback! I think I'll be ordering the 1/2" XTC :)

I found this video showing the hardness comparison between the two: Juma, 89: https://youtu.be/d-xvN6W6xhQ?t=203 XTC, 83: https://youtu.be/d-xvN6W6xhQ?t=409

Hello, I'm about to order a Schmelke purpleheart SP and they offer three different Ferrules. Juma 1" Juma 1/2" XTC 1/2" I've searched and the XTC has a softer hit, but am wondering if anyone has direct experience. Thanks

nvm. I don't want to hijack this thread.

Yes sir; thank you!

wasn't this originally announced for the 20th?

learning exactly where my vision center was

Have they had a lesson recently?

What is a resin over lay? EDIT: I'm assuming this is a resin coating on the shaft...

I couldn't agree more; scoring per inning is a pain and isn't even accurate. Waste of effort.

What is "J&J"?

I didn't know that 3/8x10 is a tricky fit; thank you.

I hadn't considered the feel of the butt being all that important so I'm glad to have your feedback. :thumbup:

Thanks for all the feedback; this is a lot to think about. I've read all your replies 3 times now. I'm somewhat surprised to hear so many people recommend 5/16x14; probably because I haven't been looking at Mezz or Joss cue. The upside is that my current cue, a Chinese Dufferin, happens to be...

I'm about to purchase my second cue since my current player has warped a little. My plan is to get an inexpensive production butt with a traditional maple shaft, and then start to purchase a few different shafts. Eventually I'll sell the shafts I dislike. So, since I'm going to be swapping...

Good for you. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. A little kid, barely tall enough to see the balls on the table, kept coming over and pulling balls off my table. It made me laugh and was nice to him, but clearly their guardian wasn't paying attention. Poor kids... Regarding...

I'm in my first season of league play (8ball+9ball at a pool hall) and I'm finding that most people ignore marking defensive shots. Rarely, someone will announce a defensive shot after their shot, but generally they do so only to their own team's scorekeeper. I've played a couple matches where I...

Hello, I'm very curious to know how much deflection the HXT cues have. I've been researching without much luck, but found this cool post by dr_dave showing that, if you know the natural pivot length you also know the deflection. All we need to do is this test, but of course, I don't have an...

Has anyone tested the natural pivot length on a Players HXT? Do they play more like a traditional shaft or an LD shaft in this regard?

Looking forward to spectating this! I might try the NJ qualifier but it might as well be a donation :cool:
