What kind of tip? Please explain the "12 3/3 tip"--is that a typo of some kind, did you mean 12 2/3?

OB-1's typically come with a 12.75mm = 12 3/4mm tip.

It was most likely a typo.

12 3/4 mm

the tip was put on by ob-1 so i dont know the brand, but they hit like a le pro. the size is 12 3/4 mm.

Please don't take this the wrong way. The ob1 sells retail for $220. So basically you are saying that your butt is worth only $55? Well actually less minus the shipping & insurance. Why don't you offer a free Chuck Starkey butt with an ob1 purchase? Just my opinion but I'd think a custom maker should be a bit more proud of his work. Maybe I'm missing something, but last time I checked profit was not a dirty word.:rolleyes:

Standard OB-1's come with Talisman Med. layered tips.

Oh my god :eek:

I really want to say something but Chuck is really a nice guy with who makes very interesting cue and I don't want to ruin his for sale thread.

Good luck with the sale, Mr. Starkey.

That is true for new OB-1 shaft but when they first came out the standard was LePro. So it's very possible that it's LePro on this particular shaft.

I think Chuck can tell layered vs. single piece tip :D

Chuck's business plan is SOUND and I think he knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

It's always good to warm up by hitting a few singles before you start swingen for the fences.:)

Please keep your negative feelings away from the honest people like chuck starkey. It appears to me that Chuck likes his hobby and isn't trying to get rich.
