Is that the problem in finding a custom cue maker---the cored-out shaft? Here are cored-out kielwood of either solid core or ten-splice versions. I suspect the carbon fiber inside, however, does not produce the softer hit you want.

Here's the total conversation by CajunPopeye. He's referring to fees on exchanging currency:

Info:

. PayPal billed my checking account without my knowledge. I sold a cue on eBay and used Paypal to have UPS ship the cue in a round tube. Nothing on UPS website then mentioned extra charge for tube. Later, UPS notifies PayPal, doubles the original shipping fee, and deducts the extra from my...

If you can't find the spot on the wall, Dr Dave has replaced the '1/3-more-than-twice' with a 'twice-plus-tenths' calculation:

Your cue is not a perfect match to 15 --- there is no maple looking wood in 15. Has the Mali logo worn off?

From another post on AZ, KamuiInsider recommended Loctite professional liquid for the clear and plastic-bottomed Kamui clear tips. For the regular Kamui tips he recommended Loctite gel: I have had pretty good luck gluing cue tips except the plastic bottomed ones with a clear layer: Kamui...

Thanks I have had so many failures with any of the tips with plastic bottoms that I'd given up on installing them. I'll try your method.

Just so I got this right and not mentioning the steps of the isopropyl and painters tape. . . . Do you put super glue on the Taom Fusion tip, let it harden, sand flat, and then glue again, this time to the ferrule?

Game Room Gorilla sells a bland model while PoolDawg's is different:

Regarding Gold Crown's black-plastic rubber-band tip holder, McDermott uses a rubber band without the holder to glue its tips on. See video.

I understand Zan Hybrid Max as having soft upper (contact area) layers and hard lower layers.

McDermott needs to say something like your comments in its GS cue description:

The video shapes tip too angled---like a cone head. The video, too, does nothing to protect the ferrule from glue sticking on it. Zeeder's ferrule looks like it has some glue on it (like mine without the gizmo).

I like the idea but I doubt the knives can cut some hard tips and, especially, those with hard clear plastic bottoms as are found in Kamui clear tips or the Rhino Time Crystal.

Interesting. There might be something there, despite what appear to be minor changes in processing time or temperature, that affected the tips' glazing resistance. Processing time and temperature may be potentially major --- not minor --- changes in preparing the cue tip.

Here is the link to your cue. I noticed it is an 8.5 ounce butt. Did you remove weights from the butt to make it 8.5 ounces? The Black Blade website shows the butts 10.5 ounces or more (see photo posted).

I may do that with the Jacoby Ultra Super Pro that can be turned down from 11.75 to as low as 10mm. Interesting cuemaking with 140 veneer pieces in the Ultra shaft and the Element butt with only veneers on the surface.

KamuiInsider: Some players have commented on how Kamui tips have changed. What changes has Kamui made in how it it makes its tips across the last twenty years?

Black Blade cues includes a 10.5mm shaft among its forward-weighted cues. It weighs 6.5 ounces and can be increased to 9.5 ounces. This is a FORWARD-WEIGHTED cue because the shaft is heavier than almost all other shafts (most shafts are about four ounces) and because the 10.5 ounce butt is...
