They make a medium, so I think I'm going to get a medium on one shaft and a hard on the other and go from there. The hard durometer is pretty much the same as the LePro I have been using until now. Time will tell I suppose...

It's something to look into, definitely. Going to see how the RAM tips work first though...

None taken. It takes a lot to offend me....

You've never met my wife. If I took on another business venture, I'd be looking for a place to live, not a cue tip... Seriously, though, I may look into it, but I don't have the resources or know-how to do it. Plus, I'd think the market would be sort of small. If it played better than the...

Thanks Ryan...

I know there is no way to completely eliminate all animal-based products from my life. For some things (like the tires on my car, for example), there are no alternatives. But, I do the best I can, and I'm happy with that...

No, I didn't put it out there to be discussed. Although, I don't really object to it being discussed. I mentioned it in my original post because if I had just asked "are there any synthetic tips" everyone would have said "no, just use a leather one", and I would have then had to explain why I...

I know a can of worms when I see it, thank you very much... True, I can't stop animals being killed all by myself. I never thought or claimed that I could. However, I choose not to contribute to it. I'm not asking you or anyone else to agree with me or see things the way I do. You have the...

The room I learned to play in here in Roanoke, VA, was called "Rotten Rodney's". It's no longer there...

Any idea where I can get one of those tips?

It doesn't work that way for me. I already have my cues, so I'm not contributing to any further animal abuse by owning them. If I buy something animal based, I'm assuming that that item will be replaced by a new item coming from an animal, and I don't want to contribute to that. Oh, by the...

Oh, and by the way, does anyone know how to get in touch with Dennis Kepley? I have been trying to track him down for years...

Really? I need to give Dennis a call. It's been a while since I've talked to him. I hope I can make it down that way in a couple months. Have to see what work and the wife have to say about it. Dennis looks strange without all that hair...

Been a while since I hit with one, but from what I remember, they hit great. I almost bought one if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I've had 4 Dieckmans over the years. I sold all of them but this one back in 2000 when I got divorced. I have a standing offer to go up to Dennis's place and spend a week making cues, but haven't had a chance to do it yet...

Very nice. I'm a huge fan of an all-wood wrap myself.

I have owned two of Al's cues. One was one of the first 5 or 6 he made. The second was the first 6 point cue he ever made. I loved them both. Never should have sold them.

New to the forum, so first and foremost - HI! Here are the two cues I play with most often. First is a Dennis Dieckman 5 pointer that Dennis made for me in '93. Next is a Dennis Kepley that I believe is one of the first few cues he ever made. A friend of mine who is a friend of Dennis's...

Will do. Thanks. Big fan of your cues, by the way. A local guy had one and it hit great.

Thanks! I just got a Mueller catalog today. I looked through it and saw that those didn't have the materials listed, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
