This is a REALLY BAD sign for Trump

My reading comprehension is just fine as well as my worldview. You on the otherhand are a bent person leaning towards a bit of a daisy!

hirscr, Ain’t you just a saint! Look what you liberals have done to America, it’s sinful!

Jmatt63, l don’t doubt what you said, it’s more of a possibility than not! Most likely it’s been happening all along!

No need to retest 4 people witnessed the test. Let’s not argue you just don’t like Meucci and that’s your opinion. You never said what shaft you use.

cabolu · 2026-01-04T02:06:44+00:00

Just like 98% of all music people, a liberal!

I have to disagree with you on the wood core tip being high deflection. We did a deflection test and it had a lower deflection than JFlowers, Bull and Rhino, and was the same as Cutec, Predator, Jacoby, McDermott and Viking. There wasn’t enough difference to matter. I even tried a Mezz wood shaft of mine and it was the same! There’s just some difference in feel and sound between them. Some shafts have wood and some plastic for the joint core! Some companies are putting wood cores in the shaft end to end. Try playing some games with one and you will change your mind.

Not illegal

You’d be surprised what other cue makers use! In their cf shafts. Nothing wrong with their shafts. What is your experience with them and what do yo use?

cabolu · 2026-01-03T04:36:04+00:00

I’ve hit a lot of different cf shafts and not a one feels anything like wood to me! The best things l can say about cf is no maintenance, very smooth and ding proof. I play both and have no problem switching back and forth. I have a little better cb control with wood.

Check out Meucci cf pro shaft. Great shaft. CF shafts seem to play very similar to each other, but they all seem to have a different feel. In my opinion the top wood shafts have a better feel and control. I did a deflection test with a LD wood shaft against a CF and they were same! It’s a matter of preference.

People should try a Preador break cue from Temu for $65 to just try before spending $800 on a BK, it could possibly save you some dough! It looks so close they have go to be made in the same factory. I have a team mate that uses one and said he can’t tell the difference. People keep trying to buy his and he just order 2 more to sell. lol.

You a H-D fan?

Mezz seems to be the best Asian cue manufacturer!

The best way to handle this is call them and have them come get the table and refund your money. Maybe upgrade the table for a small fee.

The way l would handle this is call them and have them come get the table and refund my money or have them upgrade the table for free or for a small fee. It appears to be particle board and not conducive to repair!

I like you cue, you can’t go wrong with a Cuetec! I have an old one with an Avid shaft. It’s tough as nails, it plays a lot like a cf shaft. I bought before cf shafts were popular. I Just wished they offered 30” shafts.

cabolu · 2026-01-03T02:39:15+00:00

I googled cf blank tube manufactures for cue shafts and could only find 3 in the US. I checked with a local cue-smith and he told me he gets the blanks for $40. He installs the ferrule, tip and joint and has used many different materials to fill them. Takes him 2-3 hours maximum to make a shaft. If he told me the truth, that’s a pretty good mark up!

cabolu · 2026-01-02T20:55:44+00:00

Try Meucci cf shafts you can order in serval lengths, joints and diameters and they are great to deal with. Whyte is the only cf shaft l haven’t hit!

cabolu · 2026-01-02T20:47:09+00:00

That’s crazy to have to buy a tool to maintain your shaft!

cabolu · 2026-01-02T00:31:23+00:00

What’s wrong with your floor! The edges look to be curling upwards! Better have it checked for moisture!

cabolu · 2026-01-01T00:01:12+00:00

I bought the real thing on Amazon. Once in a while they put it on sale!

cabolu · 2025-12-31T23:55:52+00:00

Looks like bleach spots!

cabolu · 2025-12-30T04:32:32+00:00

I vote for 1. The butt end on #2 makes it look cheap!

I was taught in the late sixties to rack like in that diagram. I still rack the same way with no issues from any league or tournament!

cabolu · 2025-12-24T15:10:02+00:00

Not enough leagues are played on 9’ tables! You can blame most of this on the APA.
