My personal player the last few years.

Here is my personal player for the past few years. Its got all the race tricks...weight under the points to move the balance forward. Fullsplice cues by nature tend to be buttheavy...not this one...a perfect 19oz. A handpicked dark 314 tricked with the now non available Grice ferrule...sweeter hitting ferrule than the old yellow micarta. Sniper tip. Partial abs forearm core....3/8-10 brass pin. Faux ivory joint collars give it some bling yet no one notices until they hold the cue...somewhat sneaky without trying to be. And a nice old school Hoppe style buttcap with the dark brown phenolic was added last year. Satin finish. I've used this cue as my everyday player for almost 4yrs now & it's well traveled and seen quite a lot. Even won me $7000 one night...my best score ever. Everyone who has hit with it absolutely loved it. I've turned down so many offers I can't even remember them. I have a rule about not selling my playing cue. You can buy my j/b...but I refuse to sell my player. I find it easier to stay in stroke playing with the same cue always. Well I've got some new wood in my Whitten so I'm finally listing this one in the for sale section. Farewell my friend.:smile:

Sharpie 8 .250 slots at that E ring, it'd be perfect.

LOL...too bad he wouldn't take your wager offer. We would need a post up though. One quick swipe of my Spiderco would prove all.;)

Grice & Sniper...the perfect combo.
How does the predator play with this type of ferrule/tip combo? I play with predator shafts and i've always been told that the standard ferrule was part of the low deflection characteristics of the shaft. I don't know since i've never hit with a predator shaft that had a different ferrule on it.

Well for me & many fine players who've tried it, it hits wonderful. Nice & crisp without that odd Pred sound. Some will argue, as always, that it adds deflection but I don't feel it does to any meaningful degree. I've installed quality material ferrules on 314's for many top players & I've yet to have one that didn't like it better. I just prefer not to play with a cheap plastic ferrule on my cue.
