Hi, this is my first post, I posted it earlier, but it doesn't seem to have gone through.
I just started my first league in October and previous experience was just playing casually.
What I need help on, is that I've bought a Dufferin cue as a starter. I didn't know what I wanted in a cue, so I just bought something cheap to start with. Now, I want to upgrade the shaft. I'm currently trying to decide between the OB Classic, and OB classic pro. My major concern is that since I bought a cheap cue, that the fitting might be somehow wrong.
This is a model very similar to the one I purchased (only difference is mine has a neoprene wrap):

The link to the cue I got is here:
http://www.palason.ca/main+en+002+D...ed.html?SECID=33&CATID=128&SCATID=32&PID=9602
And finally the shaft I want to purchase from the site is here:
http://www.billiards.com/pool-cue-accessories/ob-cues-pro-performance-shaft
So what I need help with is:
1. Based on the picture of my cue's threading, is it in fact 15/16 by 18?
2. Are there any possible issues that I'm missing with wanting to putting an OB shaft on my cue?
3. Has anyone used billiards.com, how was their experience and if it's okay for me to order a shaft from that site?
4. I'm leaning towards either a Moori medium, or a Sniper medium hard tip (because that's what the site offers), and a comparison of the pros and cons and people's opinions on the performance of each in relation to a Kamui Black medium. I would also be interested in knowing how all three of those brands compare to the stock Elkmaster by Tweeten I'm using atm.
I understand that everyone's experience will be different, but I can't exactly go try any of these things firsthand because the closest pool store in my area doesn't have a large selection. Also since I'm new, I haven't really settled into a comfort zone, and I'd rather choose quality over personal undeveloped preference.
Please and Thanks
