I value everyone's input so far. Although not at the point of older at the ripe age of 31, but I am analytical. I like my carbon fiber cue shaft and I am not one to change. I had the same wood cue for around 7 years when I changed for carbon fiber only for the value of it not warping and...

A while back I saw the same long thread on this forum regarding a user who broke his predator shaft and showed what was in it. My question is regarding the foam. Has anyone, including the companies themselves, provided any input if this foam will deteriorate over time? I am by no means stating...

Rexus, thank you for the reply! I thought that was the case, but I just saw several different sites stating this. I decided to dive into forums here where I could get the facts.

I am late to this party but Dave, in regards to pool ball cleaning, I see many sites that state for resin balls to use hot water with either dawn soap or detergent, let sit for 5-10 minutes, take out and scrub with a microfiber cloth, place in a bucket of cold water for a few minutes and then...

On a side note another odd question for the gallery, does anyone here have any experience and could estimate the difference in cue ball squirt proportional to shaft diameter? Don’t know if someone has ever turned down their solid maple shaft and tested the difference they got in the deflection...

I want the same deflection in the Russian pyramid as I do with my pool ball. That is why I’m trying this experiment. I want to be able to aim the same compensate the same as I do in pool. I need to get the same overall deflection over a full table hard shot and then work on adjusting weight in...

First of all I’m trying a personal experiment with a Russian pyramid ball set I own. It’s my desire to have this and all I said I need black-balled was communication meaning someone who will speak with me to understand what I’m wanting. Thank you Nullis for giving me a suggestion since you were...

I live around Athens, GA. I'm in need of some cue work done on a cheaper shaft I recently bought to increase end mass. I needed to know if there was any highly recommended or at least well known cue smiths in the area that could be recommended. I am looking for highly skilled in woodwork and...

yes exactly. I'm not the normal person as you can tell.

Because again I'm trying to match the deflection I have with my pool I have a Russian Pyramid set which is a much larger and heavier ball set that not even a solid maple shaft at 13 mm with 1 inch white ferrule can deflect them enough to match my cuetec cynergy shaft on my playing cue. I need...

okay so does anyone know what I could purchase for shaft wise that would increase my end mass thus increase cue ball squirt past a solid maple 13mm shaft with a 1 inch white ferrule? Thanks, Talmadge

Thank you all for the replies. I asked this as I’m searching for a way to have my Russian pyramid cue shaft made of carbon fiber that isn’t low deflection that I could get close to matching my cue ball squirt in pool. I’m currently attempting to see if go customs could make one for me either...

So there are many players that still love the feel of a solid maple playing shaft but all the manufacturers have been making hollowed out low deflection shafts due to the strength that carbon fiber brings. Has anyone tried or even have a guess at how a solid carbon fiber shaft would feel or how...

I would love though for anyone here that reads this that has purchased a cue from shuriken cues if they could let me know what they thought and feel free to show any pictures of it.

Thanks Shuriken, I figured the holidays were a time to take off for you guys, and I was going to post on this forum and explain to others who might wonder the same thing what you said to me. He emailed me back and was very helpful! Covered every question I had thoroughly, took the time with...

So it's actually somewhat "safe" to think that the wood work would be just as good as Willie Blade's? Interesting information. Now if I can just get the team from Shuriken to respond to my email.

Well I have emailed them and for two days no reply at all. I see that on AZ billiards and their facebook page there is constant posting of news but only some likes, no comments. It's almost like the product has never been in anybody's hands.

It is all confusing to me anyway. Willie Blade when he first started was making his cues for 300-500 dollars and then he got publicity from people in the US that were buying from him and recommended him. His sales must of went up because his prices sure did but now there is another brand...

Here is the link to the website: http://shurikencues.com/store/ The website looked identical to Willie Blade's before going down, the cue maker is also in the Ukraine, the wood "full splicing" technique is the same and even the designs of the cues are practically...

I agree with you. They are different but of course not exactly what the average pool hall player would want. I am curious though how they play? I wish a professional player could get some time on them to see how they play. On another note they don't have much footage of the tables online when I...
