The part with no threads is .450" long, the barrel diameter is actually.422" not .420" as I first said..

It's a regular 5/16-14 thread with about 1/3 of the threads removed and bored out to .320"

I don't care what chalk you use, if you miscue, that 99.9% of the time a user error. The solution is simple, stop going so far out on the CB. Look at the best players today the majority of their shots are stop ball shots.

Z and 314 shafts + 1st and second generation OB shafts are overrepresented in my shop and I've been doing this for close to 15 years now..

Taking good photos of cues is a trial and error thing, it takes a while to get the hang of it. But taking acceptable photos if you wish to sell a cue or send pictures to a cuemaker for the purposes of evaluating a cue for a repair quote or something like that isn't difficult at all and I'm...

Certainly looks like 5/16-14. What's the O.D and minor diameter of the pin?

I have witnessed an incident where a player actually was caught rubbing a cloth with silicone spray on the ball and it definently affected the CB. Not really sure how long the effect lasts and if this in some way permanently damages the cloth. I know once silicone is used it finds it's way...

Some wraps are easier to hide seam than others, the skill of the cue maker doing the work plays a huge part. But I have wraps I have just never gotten a god seam on as they are too soft and stretchy. So finding the right person who has quality wraps is key.

They certainly are. A solid carbon fibre shaft would be a terrible solution. But you can't equate a hollowed out wood shaft to a carbon fibre one. Carbon fibre is so much stronger, even though the wall thickness might only be 0.8mm. Since it such a strong material impact transfer through the...

Yes it's a low deflection shaft, but they have done it in a sensible way, so the shaft doesn't have the same issues as Predator Z/314 and OB shafts have where you hollow out the shafts so much and put on flimsy ferrules that tend to break or crack all the time. As a bonus you get a shaft with a...

Tiger makes a nice 12mm shaft, you can buy that as a partial and have your preferred cue maker install rings, thread and finish it. A superior shaft in every way to Predator Z if you ask me..

I sell the Kamui and Tiger ones, both are made of silicone. You don't want them to be made from a hard plastic material..

That's a good advice right there. People underestimate the power of hydraulic preassure.

If you buy leather from a quality source, it's no problem at all. Mezz uses a standard wrap thickness groove. I assume you have the leather wrap jig, the wrap groove length jig and all other tools necessary?

I agree with you on lots of these points and personally I don't care much for Cuetec cues as they are frequent visitors in my workshop... but some people love their Cuetec cue and they may have invested in a proper wrap, extensions etc, so it makes it hard to switch.

Players mix and match all the time, I don't see why that should be a problem. The reason I mentioned Triple 60 is that they have both the sizes and the right adapter.

Triple 60 makes shafts in 12.2mm and 12.75mm, you can get those with Cuetec 3/8-14 insert.

Yes. It's extra funny that he's basically asking in a group for legal advice if him running a Ponzi scheme is allright...

Yes I saw it earlier today. It seems the response from the pool community is lukewarm. The guy is spending quite a bit of time on these elaborate descritions and re-branding. He could have spent all that time actually making cues, turning a profit and bettering his reputation. I wish I knew why...
