    Jacoby Extension Pin Thread

    Hi guys, I'm writing because I have a question regarding the bumper of my newly arrived Jacoby cue. I'm in Germany, so every measure I will report is for me confusing because of the differences betweem metric and imperial system. First of all I had to order a set of allen keys with imperial...

    How do you cut cushions?

    No, the Snooker rails are a regular 12feet. I need to adapt them to a 7ft. That means that I need to cut them because obviously they don't fit. And because I'm cutting them, I won't be keeping the Snooker shape of pockets. I want to shape them as pool pockets. That means that the wood would be...

    How do you cut cushions?

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a used 7 feet table. Upon inspection, the rails are not proper rails but a thin rubber that works pretty well all in all. I've tighten the felt of all the cushions and the table plays ok to be a toy and not a real table. I was able to get from my club the rails...

    Jacoby Black v4 feedback

    Hi everyone, I've ordered a cue from Jacoby and before the order will ship I will have to specify if to have it with and Ultra or Black shaft. I'm currently playing with a Rogue 12.4, although I will switch to a 11.8/11.75. My question is to anyone that have tested both or just the Black in...

    CF shafts Stiffness rating

    That could be, but trying for example a BeCue (almost feels like a full wood shaft) and a Revo next to each other would show the massive difference. It is not about if the shaft is good or not, I am just curious about this parameter because I personally like a middle way.

    CF shafts Stiffness rating

    Hi everyone, I would like to know if someone has a list of how stiff every cf shaft play (of course it's personal feeling). So far I've played with BeCue Prime and Pechauer Rogue, tried Revo and Cynergy. I'd list them from the softest: BeCue Pechauer Predator/Cuetec Anyone has tested more of...

    Which glue do you use?

    Hi everyone, I'm an amateur European pool player. I've decided to try out an experiment in building a Cue (for fun) out of several (15pcs) different woods (with a soft core). Therefore I wanted to ask you guys, what kind of glue would you use to join the pieces together (Epoxy, Superglue...

    Epoxy in Carbon Fiber Shaft

    Sorry was a typo (a mistake). Will the Epoxy stick inside the shaft that is made of carbon fiber?

    Epoxy in Carbon Fiber Shaft

    It does have a 2 pcs handle. The middle part (for dart style jumps) is super light and I'm planning to make it a bit heavier as well. As much as I'd like to do what you say I'm not a cuemaker and mostly I don't own a lathe. I understand your reasoning behind the percentage of increment of...

    Epoxy in Carbon Fiber Shaft

    Some more details I believe I could better explain what I'd like to accomplish. Last week I was at the pool club where I play and I had a brief talk with a member (super good player) about his equipment and I tried his Purplehearth custom jump cue (with added mass - around 150g just the shaft)...

    Epoxy in Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I would do it myself. I intend to place a steel rod in it and my first thought was to use foam, although my concern is regarding the foam be able to stick to the interior side of the shaft, avoiding to have moving parts during the stroke. Especially avoiding for the steel rod to hit the ferrule...

    Epoxy in Carbon Fiber Shaft

    Hi everyone, I own a jump cue made of carbon fiber. It is very easy to jump any ball, altough due to lack of weight (Shaft is around 80g) it is very hard to control the cueball, due to the accelleration that needs to go through the shot. Considering that the shaft is empty inside until 4cm...

    Extending thread of Pechauer Joint?
