[Cardigan Kid]

Post #3,000 for myself....

With such a milestone, why not bump an old thread before SBX 2018....interview and info with the BeCue guys Alessandro and Michele.

Go give the BeCue a test run.
You won't be disappointed.

BeCue Facebook page has photos of the new Prestige series of the naked line....looks beautiful.

Shoots good but fit and finish is not so great.

Would be a winner if they can improve on those aspects.

The fit and finish on mine are perfect.

What was wrong with the fit and finish on the one you are talking about.

I played with mine for about 8 hours today and I don't think I could have used a cue made by anybody that would have played any better.

I love the consistency of the "hit". Everything feels like center ball.

The snow-white color of the shaft has "spoiled" me, too. After playing with it for the last several months, wooden shafts look "yellow", no matter how "white" they are. Also, the grain, no matter how straight, in the wooden shafts makes them look "wavy" when I aim down them.

I recently hit a few balls with a Becue and that "snow-white" colored shaft is like looking down a laser.

Also started a video list on the main post for videos of BeCue being used either in practice or match play. Ill update this as more become available.

Highlights from the SBE were the BeCue guys are now selling shafts on their own(no butt and special joint needed) and with a unilock pin for anyone not wanting to wait for backordered Revo shafts and are curious about high end carbon composite pool technology.

Remember, these guys will work with you to get you what you need...31"'shafts, different diameters, different joints? They don't believe you should have to change your game to the equipment....the equipment should be changed to fit you. It's all possible with the small start-up company from Italy.

I think remember you commenting that you were a die hard lover for the revo shafts.

After u tried be-cue , which do you prefer ?
What was the difference ?

You could pm me your opinions if you mind sharing it here.

Your insights are greatly appreciated.

I think they have, or are working on, a 12.5mm pro taper shaft. I think they also will have one that fits the universal joint.

Other than that, you may have to buy the "blank" with no joint pin and have a custom cue maker, or repair man, fabricate the joint of your liking.

Yes, 12.5mm is in the works and should be available very soon

Yes the 12.5mm shooting shaft is available as a special order. The 12.5 has the same pro taper as the Prime shaft.

Yes the Prime 12mm with Uni-Loc joint was released at Super Billiards this year.

Contact me for special pricing and show specials available until May 1. Pricing can not be posted on the Internet but I can quote direct to customers or by phone 574-320-2438

Ever since I bought the Becue, I have just about quit looking at other cues on the forums, etc. I like art, but for a playing cue I prefer something that performs for me and looks don't matter. For me, the Becue is serving that purpose.

I have some nice cues, customs and production cues, but every one of them has remained in the closet since I started shooting with the Becue. IMHO, I think the Becue plays as well as any cue made, and the hit is so consistent that it is hard to switch back to something else.

The only thing I would like to experiment with now is their 12.5mm shaft. I have the 11.8mm conical one and the 12mm pro taper one. I've always preferred a thicker shaft, just because that is what I played with for decades with a closed bridge, so I'd like to try it just for bridge feel. I'm used to the 12mm now, so it may feel a bit weird going up a notch, but I would like to check it out.

Sorry, just saw your post from April. Currently, I prefer my 12.0mm REVO but I am always interested in learning more about other cues and shafts.

Every shaft/cue has it's own pros and cons and I am starting to believe that it is more difficult to shoot a straight in shot with a narrower shaft as compared to a larger diameter shaft. May be just my imagination. Also, I am still believing that it is easier to cut balls/sight the cut shot with a smaller diameter shaft.

Just one adventure after another, but I enjoy it so wth. :smile:

One of the best players (you could call him a pro) at the place I play has a large diameter tip on his small diameter cue, looks weird like a badly mushroomed tip. Says he likes it this way, and his results show he may be on to something.

This sounds like a fellow I used to know that played out of Goodtimes in Somerville MA.

Think his name was John...

I finally pushed myself to do some tests with both Prime-M 12.0 and 12.5 and in the end i decided to stay with Prime-M 12.5,i got little more confidence when potting longer shots with that one. Here are two vids, first one is deflection comparison between Revo 12.9 and Becue 12.5,the second one is a neat drawshot with Becue 12.5 enjoy

I was talking about Coz at RedShoes in Alsip, Illinois.

When will BeCue come out with the mushroom tip option? Gotta have it!
