Also, I want to give a shout out and a very "BIG THANK YOU" to Rick Phillippi of "Phillippi Custom Cues", because when I initially met with Rick, regarding the Longoni XP-S joint, he measured it and put some type of Hex Nut on the joint, and told me that a 3/8-16 joint would fit it, and that the...

Great News, I found out that the McDermott 3/8-16 Quick Release joint fits the Longoni XP-S joint perfectly! So I order a 12.25mm "Whyte Carbon Fiber" playing shaft with this McDermott quick release joint, and "Voilà", it fits and plays perfectly. So if anyone has a 20 year old or older Longoni...

Ok pool players on this thread, so I installed the bulletproof recoil (red medium) tip on my shooting cue, and I have to say that I honesty and truly LOVE IT!!! And not only do I love the hit, but I'm one of those guys who forgets to chalk up for every shot, and since this tip holds the chalk...

Do you have a number for JoeRackEm? And I'm wondering if this is the same JoeRackEm that I've purchased many things from (over the years) via eBay?

Good point, and I notice some websites are selling the Defy C/F shaft about $40-$50 cheaper than it's listed on the McDermott website, so I may just pay the extra money and buy it directly from McDermott to make sure I get the latest and greatest version...

Well I contacted Longoni and asked if their Luna Nera shaft would fit my over 20 year old Longoni cue, and here's their reply? So it appears that the only Longoni shafts that will fit my cue are their S20 and S30 canadian maple shafts, and I really would prefer to put a C/F shaft on this cue...

So here's my situation, I have the above pictured Longoni cue that I purchased over 21 years ago, and have recently decided to start playing with it again, so I want to put a carbon fiber shaft on it, but found out that not only is this cue model discontinued, but the joint pin may be...

I'm open to purchasing a Luna Nera shaft, but I want to make sure it'll properly fit my cue, especially since I purchased the cue about 21 years ago, and the cue is a discontinued model, which means it's joint pin style could possibly be discontinued as well? Anyway, I sent an email to the...

So I took my Longoni cue to my area cue maker, and he advised me not to modifying such a beautiful cue. So he inspected and measured the joint, and said it was a 3/8ths by 16 size pin, and we found out that the McDermott "Defy" quick release carbon fiber shaft fits it perfectly. So I'll be able...

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks everyone for your feedback, and I'm gonna go ahead and put the tip on my cue. As a matter of fact, there are players on my team, as well as in my APA league, that are curious about it, so once I re-tip my cue, I'll let them all try it out as well...

The reason it's still in the bag is because, I only have one person/place that services cues in my area, and because there is only one place, and it's just one guy, when you drop your cue off to be serviced, it's usually a couple of days (or longer) before he can get to it, plus his shop is...

Is it possible to have the joint pin replaced? I live in Maryland, and we have a custom cuemaker by the name of Phillippi Custom Cues, so I was wondering is it possible to just have him replace the joint pin on the cue with some standard type joint pin (preferrably a quick release pin type)...

So about a month ago I purchased a bulletproof recoil (red medium) tip, but I've been hesitant to put it on my playing cue, because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just a gimmick, and that people are actually using them, and it's getting reviews (good or bad)? As you can see I haven't opened it...

I have a Longoni cue and I want to replace the shaft with a carbon fiber shaft but I don't know what type of joint pin is on the cue? Here's what the joint pin looks like: So can someome tell me what kind of joint pin is on my cue, in addition to recommending a carbon fiber shaft that will...

Normally when I order cues, I usually purchase my desired (medium) tip separately, and since most of my shooting cue shafts have a Predator Victory medium tips on them, and since I ordered this shaft directly from the Predator website, I decided to have them put the Predator Victory tip on it...

The default tip (which I'm assuming they automatically put on all their non-break cue shafts) is a soft tip, and if you want a medium or hard tip instead, it'll cost you $29.

Since I've been playing league, I've only had medium tips on my playing cues, and super hard tips on my break cues. So I guess what you're saying is that if they forgot to replace the tip, then I will be able to tell just by shooting with it? I just ordered the shaft a few days ago and it's...

Because I've been playing APA league for over 20 years, and have always used various medium tips, and it's my understanding that softer tips mushroom faster, and since all but two billiard/pool shops in my area have closed, it will be a little more difficult to get my cues service than it was...
