:idea2: 1.25" rod with a leather wrap
threads are kinda ruff on the hands
My God, it could be used as a defencive weapon. Easily..

Typically you would use a pool cue as a weapon, but this would be marketed as a weapon, that you can use as a masse cue.
This should be posted over at usualsuspects.net or ar15.com, not a cue & case gallery...:smile:
I have been waiting to see some masse cues around here!
I was kicking around some ideas myself and have some design parameters set out if I ever get the cash together to have one made.
As for the weight issue, I was wondering if a Dymondwood core would be a good idea. It certainly has the stiffness, and I think good weight on it's side. I have always been a little uncomfortable with metal inside cues for some reason, especially in the A joint. I understand many cues have been made that way and that probably better techniques, experience, and glues minimize problems, but even still, it has always been something that bothered me a little.
Is that a bonehead idea?
I think masse cues are interesting from a design standpoint. There are numerous variables to manipulate, even including the joint position. Some good ones I have seen actually didn't break down at the half way point, but I really prefer one that does myself if for no other reason than aesthetics.
Very cool post. I will look forward to seeing it come together. If it is anything like the work we are used to seeing from you it will be a great cue for sure. :thumbup:

Brent,
I always use 1/2 X 13tpi when I do an A-Joint on a cue.
3/4" rod is killer and should get the job done very nicely for a masse. No flex in that area for sure.
Rick
well, not sure if i'd call it the 'typical A-joint'
perhaps an A++++++ joint
15" from an .870" joint & approx. 1.20" at connection
beastly
Is that even legal ?
dont know
those masse guys are outlaw rebel types joey
the one i made mike massey was 29.50
that was 3?4?5? years ago
paragraph 4 :equipment
dont see anything about weight

I'm pretty sure that it would be legal for other than standard pool and billiards games (artistic and trick shot competition to name a couple). The standardized general rules for pool however limit's a cue's dimensions to at least a minimum 40" in length with no maximum length and no minimum weight but a maximum weight of 25oz.

Is that one of those ball bat's you were showing me Sat?
Oh and yes,tell Ron that the Indy Speedway still has the golf course,walked that SOB 4 times for about 4mi!

:idea2:you could build the entire masse cue out of diamondwood
i'm not a trick shot guy by any stretch, but what some of these guys have told me the reason for the excessive weight is to let the weight of the cue do most of the work. you know how when they hold them vertically
i had one guy ask me for a 36 ouncer
the only two artistic guys i know of on this forum are florian aka venom & jamison neu
maybe they can give us a little insight .
