As a visitor to the Ask the Cuemaker, I am surprised that something as cheap as construction paper is used to enhance expensive and difficult butterfly splices. I just presumed there was nothing approaching a decal/overlay cheapness near a butterfly splice. It appears that cheap can be good.

Yes, it would. This work isn't really done for customers. It makes little difference to the players that use these cues (this cue happens to already be a little-used shorty --- a one-piece 52" cue). That repair would be more work than what I am doing. Nonetheless, to keep cue length the...

I am repairing a shaft that had a slip-on ferrule. There was no tenon. I am making a tenon. What advice do you for doing this by hand --- for cutting the shaft to make the tenon, and, especially for ensuring the ferrule placed on the tenon is flush with the shaft? I cut the shaft first by...

I will never use any in-house company search engine again. I will instead use the very good Google search or the even-better-than-that Chat GPT. Chat GPT, however, is spooky---human like.

What a problem to have . . . . . .

Overlays.....The coloring is unlike many cues. The stripes are nice on both Rhino cues but the items on the German cue are hokey:

Notes from listening to Robocop's Facebook video 5:20 to end: He recalls incident in about year 2000 where a tournament had balls cleaned and the polishing included waxing the balls. Europeans many years ago dominated pool and used wax a lot. Asian and especially Phillipino players did not but...

Mezz's website has many players using the Ignite shaft. The only Exceed anything on their website is Exceed EX-Pro. I looked at several Mezz players for the shafts they used and did not see any EX-Pros listed. I did see some Hybrid shafts which preceded the EX-Pro. There is an Exceed...

While I was learning how to jump, I bought the inexpensive Little Monster. I could not jump with it and sold it. As I learned how to jump, however, I could jump with my wooden Dufferin and wondered whether the Little Monster is better than I thought.

I haven't seen many kielwood shafts. It looks great with that butt (rosewood?).

Look at the earlier posts regarding the slippery surface on these tips. Why couldn't you make the black pad perfectly flat? I recall simple sanding on maybe 300 sandpaper and seemed OK. Flat to me is the surface is all scuffed up somewhat uniformly. I don't recall a problem with sanding...

Temu Seems to last but it doesn't matter since I got twelve for $6. They are all black. I wash them with my regular clothes washes. My more expensive Temu is that below at $4.

Players getting in on decal action emphasizing blackness, blood, and death.

That brings up the question of how things are different now than when the Blue Book was published. Are those types of books published now? Is it economical to do so? Is it more common to have an internet version like that for cars in Kelly's Blue Book? What AZBilliards influence is there...

My problem with Schmelke's website is how their photos could be better (I could access it fine). See https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/why-doesnt-schmelkes-website-have-good-cue-photos.566917/#post-7888692

I think you can add to that. This McDermott was from the H-Series that sells from $550 (a few times on eBay) to $2100. When selling a used cue, buyers tend to price it at the lower-end of the price range for that model. That is to say, the do-dads and extras put on the cue are given greater...

You never know, though. Buyers can be particular. This post described a practically new McDermott’s that had a $1400 MSRP and it sold for $500. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/do-used-but-practically-new-mcdermott%E2%80%99s-that-had-a-1400-msrp-usually-sell-for-500.577587/#post-8178982
