Great video Dr. Dave. Thank you Sir. 👍

I have a similar habit when it comes to chalking. I am right handed. I hold my cue close to the joint, usually more towards the bumper, with my left hand and then brush the tip of the cue with chalk, whichever chalk I am using at the moment, with my right hand. I also hold the cue almost...

I am not a fan of the shirts that everybody is using these days. They are everywhere now, from Pool, to shooting matches, to drag racing... everywhere there is a competition, there is a wild colored "jersey". To each it's own I reckon, I do not have anything against people using them, they are...

PM sent.

Well, I did not intend to address the skid complaint, which as you mentioned, is a possible. I do not think we will ever know for sure. I have the habit of not jumping to conclusions on the cause of something if I have not seen it. If it had been very obvious and the whole world had seen it in a...

My pleasure. 👍😁

I have spent some time reading reading different opinions about chalk on this thread, and I believe there are some good, valid points. I do not think there are any doubts that modern chalks are superior in some aspects to Master chalk, but this whole chalk deal is getting out of hand. In my...

A tidbit of my unqualified observations. I have been playing with Master chalk forever and a day. I am one of those guys that thinks that if something works, there is no need to re-invent the wheel. Professional players used Master chalk for decades, and did not seem to have a problem with...

Putting the Meucci to good use with some of my county recreation center pool room buddies. 👍 I am the youngster on the left. 😁

Yes Sir, I sure did have the option. Now, I honestly did not think about it until about 2 weeks into the waiting period. I seemed to recall polyurethane covered wraps on several cues I had handled but the wrap could still be felt. I could not remember if they were Meucci cues so I pretty much...

Will do. 👍 Matter of fact, today I will be having my usual Saturday 8 ball and Cutthroat playing session with the community old timers at the county recreational center.😁 It's a good time, good people, clean fun. Nobody gets mad if they are not playing well, or loose a game. Just plain ol'...

Afternoon ladies and gents. After a 6 month wait, I received my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1, equipped with a 30" Meucci Carbon Pro shaft, 11.80mm tip, with a Kamui Black medium tip. I am well aware of how people feel about Meucci cues. Some love them, some hate them. There was a time where QC issues...

I am done with Rhino not neccesarly because of the decals or performance, my Rhino plays beautifully, but because of issues with customer service. Like I said on a previous post, I have dealt with Schmelke on some custom cues. If there was anything that was not to my satisfaction, David would...

I agree. But considering that the cues are made completely out of composites, except for the joint pins, inlaid points and other decorations would add a substantial premium to the price and would defeat the purpose of supplying cues to folks that can't afford a higher end cue. I am fine with the...

How interesting. Rhino just released a new line of cues called Must. How surprising.🤣 These ones are described as having a carbon fiber butt instead of carbon composite. I am having a really fun time with their customer service department trying to get a replacement Must shaft in exchange for...

Yes Sir, thought about the joint face not being trued on the lathe, but I did confirm with a good joint protector that the hole is offset maybe .010". You can see one side of the joint protector edge hanging from one side of the shaft joint face, and wobble as I turn the shaft. Tried the same...

Well, here they are side by side; Must on the right, standard Rhino on the left. Not going to measure anything since someone else posted measurements. The tapers are very similar, at least to the naked eye. The Must does have a a bit more forward balance. That being said, the Must is going...

Allright. I got an answer from Rhino. Simple enough, if it's defective, send it back. I have been a mechanic for several decades now and I always like tinkering with stuff, learning how things work, etc, so I decided to hold off on sending it back and looking at some things first. So, I took a...

Got curious enough that I ended up ordering an 11.8mm Must while they are on sale. I reckon I will be giving my unqualified impressions on the Must soon. Rhino makes a good cue for the money. I've been playing with mine, the Eclipse II Noir, quite a bit while I wait for my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1...
