    Another one suckered into a Rhino shaftp

    I bought a Rhino CF shaft last week, while they were still on sale. There were so many enablers here that it seemed like it was worth a try based on price and quality of reviews. I guess I am “old school” when it comes to equipment, my cues are an old JossWest, a Pechauer, and my main player is...

    Allen Green is under rated

    I just received my new cue from Allen, and I am shocked I haven't heard more about him. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=326947 Now that I have it in hand, I felt that it might be nice to do a review. First of all, execution on the cue is excellent. The quality of construction is...

    Want to trade Schon STL13 for a Runde era cue

    I have a Schon STL13 that I would like to trade for a Runde era Schon. I might also be open to a trade on a cue with a similar hit, piloted shaft, and spliced points. I would also be open to kicking in $$$ to the deal. The STL is in excellent condition, and shaft and butt are both straight. Have...

    I Have a cue with raised rings. There are thin ss rings bordering the ivory. All of them are raised, and have been since it was shipped to me. Also, the butt is not perfectly aligned with the points on the forearm. Is it possible to fix these issues? If it costs more than the cue is worth, I...

    What is the advantage of a layered tip?

    I am being serious, not jerking anyone's chain. I have been playing since the 60's, and was away from the game for a while, and now it seems layered is the answer for most/many players. I am confused as to why a tip that is 90% leather and 10% glue, would be better insurance against miscues. The...

    Schön mistake?

    I ordered a new Schön a couple of weeks ago. While cleaning the shaft today, I noticed that it has an Ivory ferrule, instead of the usual proprietary one they usually use. It was not ordered that way. Has anyone else had this happen, or heard of it happening? I wondered why the hit was so firm...

    New Schön diamond inlay?

    I needed to replace a Schön that I had sold, with a new one. I ordered a CX04, and it came Friday. As I expected, a few things were different than illustrated, and I appreciate that. The forearm wood was stained more darkly, and the tulip rings were replaced with Cocobola. The big surprise, was...
