Hiya Guys,

I managed to sink my claws into a wonderful-playing Bender.

Upside to it is that the cue appears to be complete with auto-pilot. Just ask Matt24.....I think he's having unclean thoughts about it right now!!!

Downside is - I only have 1 shaft for it. I have spoken with Mr. Bender about getting another one, but figured I'd see if anybody out there has a "spare".

My cue has the railroad track ringwork....and I'd love to get my hands on another one.

If any of you cue nuts out there have one...please drop me a PM. If there's one to be had, I'd prefer to go that route...as opposed to giving my cue up for 4 months + to have one fitted.

Thanks much.

There are so many of these requests...

I think I should concentrate on stocking up on spare shafts from all the top and up and coming cuemakers of today and just sell them off as time goes on...lol :p :D

I know I'd LOVE to find me a spare 13mm SW shaft to have fitted to my Franklin plain jane...
::sigh::


Good luck in your quest! The Bender shouldn't be too tough to find...

Ya gotta love this guy! :)
Got one for me, too, Bill? Lol :p

Looking forward to seeing those new cue postings....
 
Waiting on Mr. Grassley to respond to my PM...and I'm pretty sure I'm buying it from him........but until I know for sure, I'll bump this up!!

There's gotta be more than one Bender shaft available out there........maybe attached to a nice Bender CUE for sale??!! :D :D
 
To clarify.....I WOULD NOT, AT ALL, BE OPPOSED TO BUYING ANOTHER BENDER CUE.

IF YOU HAVE A SHAFT...OR A WHOLE CUE... FOR SALE, PM ME. If it's got the railroad track ringwork....all the better (but not necessary) !!!

Thx,

Rat

It may a tough one to call.
My main player is a Black Boar but my back up in the case is a 15-point Bender. Cannot go wrong with either of them but there is always another gem in waiting from all the other cue makers out there for Mark (we are all slightly cue addicted or we would not be on this forum searching).

Mark - hoping for some table time soon,

You can get it direct from roy (indyq) for like 275 i think. I asked him once about it.

I have 6 shafts (when i get the PJ bender), but yes, I like to accumulate more and just switch them all to ivory, cuz the ones i got now 3 are ivory 3 are LBM.

I do have one shaft where the tips and join are on the felt when rolled but a slight wobble? warp in the middle (is that a warp or an "untrue" circle in the middle). I thought about getting it shaved down to 12.8 to take it out.What do u think ? Good idea?

NEVER!!! :) :) I just might have to split up the avatar screen and add "Bender" in there.

It's funny, really. Regardless of the fact I wasn't hitting 'em so well with the Black Boar...I STILL loved how it felt. THAT is a sign of a true player, I think. Your own game may be off...but the cue still feels great!! I just got "dialed in" on the Bender a bit better last night.

Table time is coming, Myron!! Hoping for this coming Saturday (I'll know for sure by Thursday).

Fish - tough call, sir. If you do have it turned down, I'd take it to somebody that knows how to do it, while keeping the natural shaft taper dynamics in place. Worst thing in the world is to walk in with a Bender, and walk out with a Meucci!!

Wanna sell one of your ivory ferruled ones??!! :) :)

u know who can do that? I talked to Scott (@proficient) he siuggested it wasnt sometihng he could guarantee to be done.

I wanan hold onto the shafts for now..not sure.i might let go some of the LB ferrule ones..and just keep one spare for all three cues (or two, after i sell the otehr one).

I would suggest sending it to Mr. Bender, if you want it done right. You could go the SW Cues route...but that would probably take 3x as long...and from what I understand, even though they came from the same background and such....the tapers ARE a bit different.

So, you're selling an LBM ferruled one, then?? :) How much you want for it?
 
I've been preaching Predator on here for years. Ahh...why buy custom when Predator plays as good as anything, blahh, blahh, blahh. Well, Predators do play good..........but once I picked up that Bender I opened my game up to a whole new world of FEEL.

I fell in love with that cue after about 10 shots and didnt' want to give it back. The shaft was a bit fat for me,...but it just didn't matter. That cue FLOATS in your hands. Thankfully Mark is going to give it to me for Valentine's Day (sorry...just trying to think of the closest holiday I can - although Mark giving me a gift for V-Day suddenly sounds a little...funny). Yes..I've turned gay for that cue. I need that cue. Mark, just give me the damn cue already.

In all seriousness though, I told Mark he would be an idiot to sell that cue and I'd never let him hear the end of it (unless he sold it to me). Now I'm on the lookout for a Bender or SW style cue...or something with one of those big pins, ivory ferrule, and Moori tip..LOL. Good luck finding shaft #2.

While it's somewhat disturbing to hear that you've "turned gay for my cue,".....I find it strangely flattering.............. Okay....moving on....

If....and that's a BIG if....I ever sell it, Matt, you'll be the first to know. All I'll need in exchange would be your car, your dog, and your first two months salary at your new job, should you decide to move on. Sounds fair to me, since you kicked my a$$ all over the table with my own cue!!

BUMP TO THE TOP FOR A BENDER CUE.....OR BENDER SHAFT TO GO WITH MINE!!
 
One more bump for a Bender cue with this type of ringwork.....or a spare train-track ringwork Bender shaft.

If ya gots one....I wants to see it!!

Thx,

Rat

i will let u know if i will let one go, btw, whats ur requirements on the shaft thickness?
Click to expand...
I don't have a hard core requirement, sir.

If it's straight. and at or more than 12mm, I'm interested.

An ivory ferrule would be preferable....but I'd be interested in getting an LBM one, too.

Thanks!!

Mark
 
Thought I had one locked up....but didn't pan out.

Last ditch, pathetic begging bump for a Bender shaft!! :o :o
 
Hey mark, hrmmm...
One of the ivory shafts are at 13MM now, but has that "wobble" in the middle.i wouldnt call it a wobble cuz the tips dun move off the ground but its noticeable when u look at the felt there is a gap in the middle of the shaft when u roll it. But if u can find a guy to shave it down to your specs i ma sure it will be straightened out (if the right guy is found).

Alternatively I might let go of one of the LBM shafts.

I guess if you interested in either of those two, make me an offer. Again, I know from Roy its about 275 -300 new (with shipping and stuff). Shoot me some numbers:) I guess i ca nconsider it if its reasonable...we are both so friendly:D Maybe if u send me hot pics of ur bender, i might consider it even more.

Btw, i just got Pharoah;s all coco bender.its a beauty.the wrapo really complements the cue.. the cocobolo is nice, but the Bluegrass cocobolo is jsut so awesome that its no comparison.but still a lovely classy cue. Going to a tourney tonight so gonna try the hit of this bender.
