Great story, thanks for sharing. I agree, finding talented cue makers early isn’t easy. Hopefully this thread helps bring some well-deserved attention to some of those builders.

Good move. I’ve been trying to order a custom cue from several cue makers (not even the top names), and it’s almost impossible to get on their waiting lists or the prices are crazy. I’d love to hear about some of the new talent out there.

Hey buddy, I’d like to reach out to Vincent. I’m in Calgary and I need a refinishing job, hmu please I’d appreciate it. TIA 👍🏻

Never dealt with them, but I’ve seen a bunch of red flags. For instance, they only accept irreversible payment methods such as bitcoin, cashapp or zelle; they offer a huge stock of high-end cues (I know serious dealers that don’t have even the half of the offer they have); their ads on Facebook...

Hey man, thanks for your reply. I’ve seen these cues on fb, they look pretty good indeed. Any idea of estimated delivery time?

Thanks, pal. The Joss cues I’ve got on my wishlist are the 10-08 and the “Color of Money” model, but I’d like to upgrade them with a lizard wrap.

Sweet, thanks again. These pictures are very helpful, I think I have a winner 🙌🏻

That’s mu concerns with the schons as well, even though I like one simple 4-points with ebony, thanks buddy 👍🏻

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, really appreciate it. What a coincidence, the Jacoby HB2 is actually the exact model I’ve been looking at, so your comments are really helpful. By the way, do you know if the radial pin on Jacoby cues is compatible with other brands, I’ve read on Seyberts...

Thanks for your reply pal, actually Jacoby is on the top of my wish list. Unfortunately It’s kinda hard to try those cues around here, that’s what I’m looking for options. Nice setup btw, cheers 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback, buddy — really appreciate it. It’s kinda hard to try those cues around here; most pool halls I go to are full of Predator lovers or carbon-fiber guys, and that’s just not my thing. That’s why I’m asking for some opinions, I’m not really familiar with any of the brands i...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to add another American-made cue to my collection , something from Jacoby, Schön, or Joss. I’m not interested in custom makers right now, prices have gotten a bit out of hand lately, and most wait lists are just too long for what I’m after. I’m mainly looking for a...

That’s a good idea man, thanks for the advice. I’ll show it to one well known cue makers here in Calgary and ask him for a diagnosis.

Here you go, more pics. As you can see it’s totally perfect, is just the crack. That O’ve shown

Again I didn’t buy it as an investment, my bad if didn’t express well (sorry English is not my first language) when I said collectible I meant I wanted to keep it in original condition because I really like the cue and didn’t want to play with it. Anyway, I bought the cue brand new, in perfect...

I’m the original owner, even I registered the cue immediately when I bought it. Also, the dealer was very supportive, I sent all the evidence I have but Predator just said NO. I bought the cue in 2022. This is Predator’s response…

Well, when I say “collectible” I don’t mean like a real collection cue, neither I saw it as investment. I just wanted to keep it in original condition because the cue itself I really liked it, so that’s why I never used it. I’ll take more pictures and upload them, but that’s the only problem...

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me to rise my voice against Predator Customer service. This is my PREDATOR LE Ebony True-Splice cue. Few months ago when I was cleaning my cues, I noticed a straight mark in the butt of the cue, close to the bottom, in fact, it looks more like a crack than a...

Yup, you’re right about the pins. Maybe I stated my question in a wrong way. My concern is not about the pin, but it’s about the collar diameter. As you mentioned, longoni specs said 22 mm for carom and 21.3 mm, so there’s 0.7 mm of difference (not .5 like I mentioned, sorry my mistake). So, I’m...

Hello everyone, Perhaps the following questions has been discussed before, but I haven’t found any solid answer so far…. Do you know if I can pair a longoni 3-cushion shaft w/VP-2 joint with a Longoni pool cue butt??? Does it fit properly??? I know there are slightly differences between both...
