What can I say I just love this freakin cue You know what I mean Once you pick one up , you just cant get enough. Im already planning another one ,,,Looks like thumbs up for Lambros. Two pages of positive comments except for comments on squirt. That says a lot on this forum. If I can save the money and be willing to wait. That will be my dream cue. Don't see many Lambros for sale. I am just guessing that the ones you do see are from who just like to flip cues for a profit. If it's your shooter. Your not selling from what I hear.
Trust me when I tell you,if your talking Deflection,there's a massive difference between
Mikes shafts and a Z-2 shaft.Were talking apples and concrete in that matter.
I still think Mikes regular shafts deflect less than his LD shafts.It could be that
his regular shafts have better feel.
Mikes been makeing different LD laminated shafts over the years, for example the cue I had that was made in 2011 with LD laminated shafts were pie laminated shafts. Which I couldnt tell much of a difference form the maple shafts. But my new cue I tried all different shafts and I decided on the flat laminated LD shaft. Everyone is going to have different opinions and what they like. I am satisfied with the cue I just recieved with these shafts and I have no problem putting that cue ball wherever I want or performing any shot, But I can tell you this the shafts you may have tried years ago are not the same LD shafts that hes putting out now, I also decided to get his new ultimate joint which plays awesome as well ..Everyone will have different opinions with different things it doesnt mean someones opinions wrong or right ,,,,

Got my cue yesterday and shot about 5 hours with it. Put me officially in the loving the lambros club. No problem switching from the z2 to the lambros ld shaft. No adjust period. Cue is so nicely balanced it is quite a pleasure to hit with. Wish I knew what kind of tips were on it. Seller didnt know and I'm pretty sure they aren't the original ones but they work great on the shafts. They are black but are not kamui's; they layers are not quite as tight as kamuis. Any way loving the stick and will make it my main player.
The only thing I know is that Mike recently started doing ultimate joints. Looks like his ultimate joint with LD shaft is a great combination.
Anyone have more info on this ?? May be [Hourstoer] can chime in with more info.
What kind of "joint" you have on your cue ?
Actually I thought I read he only did ultimate joints for a little. Had a problem with them warping when sending overseas so he stopped. To my knowledge now he only does the ultra joints. I read that somewhere but not sure where now. On his website he only talks about the ultra joint. I'm sure the guy that would know would be Chrippa. From what I've seen on here he seems to be the lambros expert.
This above is not correct !! The ultimate joint is Mikes newest joint that he offers, He makes the ultra joint still which is what Houstoer's cue has, The joint that he stopped makeing is the ultra joint 2. which had the radial pin instead of his 3/8x10. From what was said was the only issue with that joint was when it was oversea's the shaft was really tight to get off for them. So thats why I was told he stopped useing that joint. But as I said before new ultimate joint was just started being offered this year when I recived my cue . Hope this helps...
Cool thanks for the clarification. So what's the difference between the ultimate and ultra? I knew somewhere I read something..lol. Ed
Really - wow, sounds too good.
Do you know if the cues with the older joint and non-LD shafts perform the same?
Pretty sure I am getting one but moving from a z2 has me concerned a little.
Thanks,
Gerry

Just a different design ,Better off to contact Lambros shop ,,but looks to me as the pilot is little longer and is machined different as well as the joint where they compress together,, I know it makes the cue play different to me. I loved the hit of the ultra joint but when I was down there one day I played with thier player rep's and pro players cue Rob Saez , And it was like driveing tacks hitting the balls in.. I had no problems moveing the cue ball or makeing any shots. So as soon as I tried it I ask if I could have that joint in my cue and Im glad i did. I mean I loved the way my cue with the ultra joint played. But to me Im glad I had this new one made with the ultimate joint, << ED
So that beautiful Josey I sold you is just gonna sit in the case now???
I thought you'd play it forever by how excited you were
Oh I'm gonna keep it bro. Its still a beautiful cue that hits great. I kind of run into what you did though. I started playing in some leagues that that we travel into bars that aren't that great so I wanted a good playin cue that didn't stick out so much for those bars. This Lambros is exactly that. Its beautiful but doesn't scream $$$$$ unless you know what you're looking for and the hit to it is excellent. What did you buy after selling the Josey?

damn so that means I'm gonna have to order a new one at some point ???? there goes the budget !!
Its hard to believe that anything shoots much better than the ultra joint. If it hits that much better maybe I am going to sell the Josey !
Well I was playing with my Keith Kue while I had the Josey still.
Since then I bought a BHQ and a Sugartree though.
I feel better then; looks like someone is worse that me when it comes to buying cues
lolNothing wrong with the Josey its a great cue but the hit I get with this Lambros is exactly what I've been looking for just didn't know it until I hit with it. Hard to describe but for me its perfect.

From what I was told, Mike made the ultimate joint so that the cue is easier to assemble. Anyone who's shot for hours on end with the ultra joint knows how difficult it can be to unassemble.
I had the ultimate joint for about a month before I traded the cue for one with the ultra. Can't say I feel much of a difference performance-wise, but I can say I miss being able to easily unscrew. Played in a tourney for 6+ hours a few weeks ago and looked like a monkey trying to unassemble after my last match with sweaty, talc-y hands. Also, to the OP, the tip might be an "ultra skin"? They're also black but don't hold their shape as well as Kamuis (IMO). I know Mike offers ultra skins when he ships for a few more bucks than the triangles or le pros or whatever he puts on. I tried them out, didn't like them, went back to Kamui blacks.

I think you're right about the ultra skins. I think they are as well. Once I read that he was putting them on his cues I'm thinking that is what is probably on there. Can't draw worth a damn with it. Must be a soft. I'm used to mediums. I can follow at will though...and its kind of keeping me out of trouble by trying to do to much with the cueball....lol
