Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of automation in the process.
thats what they showed you. that certainly wasnt the main production line but a custom room or partly made for the video.
and you did get a glimpse of a cnc machine. so must be others that take it farther.
however i would buy a japan cue before a china one. adam wasnt so bad just not real good.

Watching that, they should offer a display shaft with splicing at least that is consistent with the butt design.

Impressive.
That factory in Sayama makes all the Musashi cues and a few others. I'd compare it to a bigger version of Schon. Sort of a higher volume custom shop. Make some beautiful cues. For ordering info you might contact: https://adam-ny.com/contact-us/ I found about them via a request i made to AH's SuperBilliardExpo. I think the cue they showed at the end of that video is on their site under 'cues'. They list 12 models of cues. All are supposed to be of Japan source.
The first cue I paid for was an Adam Rubber Duck. $35. w/box case. Lost it in a game.
Is the box thing here their clear finish? So they don't spray it on? Looks interesting, I don't think I have seen another cue video with something like that in it. The text said "trimming the cue" but that does not make much sense, I figured it was a translation error.
Interesting device. Dust shield?
You talking about the box I was curious about? Don't think so, the cue came in not shiny, came out shiny.
I wonder if it's a sealer of some kind, or some kind of filler epoxy? That rubber contraption would give it a fairly consistent finish if they are trying to squeegee the sealer off. Then a light sanding and the finish coat.
Well yeah. Dust shield for the application. Either that or it's to hide the hamster that pees on the work..
This is the Mushashi company, the high end artisan-built cues
Yup.
Old Adam video is on YT as well
Its the ADAM-Japan factory in Sayama. The Musashi is their top of the line cues. they make a few other models there too. Everything else is made in China.
