right now I'm using 11.5 conical
I like it..but am interested in trying just a bit bigger
I'd like to try a z shaft, but that's not a true cone, is it?
cheap is ok, good even..really just looking to test out the shape

edit: right now I'm only interested in wooden shafts/cues

Get a Becue 5.1 carbon shaft. It is conical and 11.8mm at the tip.

For the last 6 months I've been using the McDermott I3 shaft. It has a 11.75 mm tip with a European tapered shaft. I've been happy with it.

thanks guys
I should have clarified I'm only looking at wood stuffs right now
I did look up the becue 5.1 and the one I saw said the taper was "semi-conical"
not sure how much taper matters with cf tho
'eye, are you using that shaft? I seem to recall you being into thicker diameter
thanks again

Glad you asked this. I'm looking for the same, as a carom player looking to buy a cue for occasional pool use.

I have pro tapers from over the years I've used and collected but swapping tapers back and forth kills me.

cheers homebrew
does the carom cue not lend itself well to pool?

Contact a few custom makers and have them make you whatever taper you want. My local cuemaker has a good reputation and he makes me pretty much whatever I want to try for under $150.

Bob Frey cut me a custom conical 12mm. I play with a Z2 though.

Here are most of the conical shafts with 12mm or lower tip diameters that I can think of off the top of my head.

- Mezz WX900
- OB Pro+ / OB-2 (discontinued, but can still find some)
- OB Fusion 6
- Predator Z3
- Jacoby Ultra Super Pro
- Meucci Ultimate Weapon
- Lucasi slim
- McDermott i3
- McDermott iPro slim
- Tiger Pro
- Pure-X slim

I got the fuel cue from kozoom in

I previously bought the 11mm for carom
Figured id pick up the 12mm for 3c

Both cues are straight as it gets
Joint matches perfect
For a wood threaded pin new from france

The value is quite absurd for the price
Its a home run
