    Solid vs layered tips

    So what does it have to do with tips? We are only discussing about preference between a solid tip and a layered one, not about developing a skill because of tips.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    closest one I have is I have to take an hour boat ride. the other one is an 8 hour drive and one more from overseas. I'm already in talks with 2 of them. one of which I'm waiting after I gave what materials I want for the cue. from those 3, I could buy a few right now from their inventory but...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I asked this question is how much a well-known custom cue command a price at a highend auction? is there a priceless piece like any other art piece? and which buyers are there aside from the typical custom cue collectors? I'm really surprised with most of the production cues nowadays than it was...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    funny thing is that I just recently bought a shaft that costs more than your average production pool cue. I love it, but is it the best shaft ever? I don't care as long as I'm shooting lights out with it.

    The what did you get pool related for christmas 2025 thread

    I took it for a spin yesterday again after I was able to fit pool on my christmas season activities. I'm loving it so far and got the hang of it. the stock Tiger Onyx tip is great although I have to do some adjustment with my typical stroke. hit feels more solid and seems to do well with finesse...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I understand the sentiment for staying true to old school. the main reason that I begin to acknowledge the new innovations is that I hate warping. I could not imagine myself going back to a typical maple. I could still play on it but I feel much comfortable using some LDs'. true enough, the...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    it has nothing to do with owning but I have some friends that lent me and try a few of their customs and share their perspective. I'm not as loaded as they are. I like some of them from an aesthetic standpoint. playability depends. as for material science, it's not a hidden secret as it was the...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    exactly. not sure why some still think that custom cues from well-established cuemakers think that the cues would play differently or look better than the high-end or even mid-tier production cue. it's not like it's a hidden secret or had that secret recipe of making cues. that kind of stuff is...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    the most I would spend for a custom doesn't exceed past $1,500. I know that some cost more but I don't have to go overboard to get what I like. I got 3 custom cue makers that make cues within my budget. hopefully in 6 months, I'd be able to get it.

    The what did you get pool related for christmas 2025 thread

    not just pool equipment but anything with a certain specifics on an item is something that they are scared of even getting. even if she knows I wanted a Custom cue, she wouldn't know the specifics that I wanted on it.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    pardon my ignorance but are there people that shit talks custom cues? I believe the shit talk was more towards over-valuing custom cues.

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    considering the Time Crystal tip costs 3-4x the UltraSkin as you previously posted, it doesn't make sense to get them. although from what I saw, they still cost more than the Ultraskin but not really something more than 2X the price. I guess Rhino came down with the price significantly. I would...

    arrogance? I believe those cue are more intended for display but then that's just plain stupid.
