I have a client who would like a bright red ferrule on his cue. Any suggestions? Has anyone used TENITE for a ferrule?
 
ive seen one made from an aramith 3 ball ... cant tell you anything about how it played or held up because i thought it was a goofy idea and didnt ask
 
You could dye it with aniline dyes or fabric dye (Rit). You may as well dye it purple, since after a few years of chalking it will be purple anyway. (red+blue)
 
3 ball, 6 ball, 1 ball. Hold up very well.

Dang it, Bob always makes stuff look so perfect. Great job and I could play with the 1 ball ferrule.--Leonard
 
red ferrule

It may not be so crazy. I think someone mentioned to me that "Whimpy" aka Luther Lassiter had a red ferrule, claiming it helped him as a visual aid. Never tried it myself, but it could start a trend don't you think. How about patriotic ferrules...fight terrorism etc. red white and blue with stripes...
any other ideas??lol

It's not crazy. It's brilliant, and different.

Too many spend too much time worrying about whether or not a ferrule material looks enough like ivory.



White ferrules and black bumpers. It's so bad that if you want a different color bumper it causes a new thread in the forums.

It's plastic and rubber....pick a color and go for it I say.

I'm old school, I don't need it on my cue, but please let's not shoot it down. I wanna see one of those red ferrules above on a cue. :thumbup:
 
red ferrule

i ask mr lassiter about his red ferrule, in the late 60's - early 70's. i saw him at the old billiard palace, when it was up stairs. he told me the red ferrule against the white cue ball helped him see better.
i saw him play many times and if i could play as good, and be the gentleman he was i would use a polka dotted ferrule if need be.

Thanks for all the feedback. The person looking for the red ferrule is a bit of a pool historian. Would not surprise me if he read about Wimpy's red ferrule.
 
I have some bright red delrin, doesnt glue worth a sh*t though and may be a softer hit than required.
