j6 cues

[matthias]

very nice! splice work doesn't get much better than that I think.

are you making several cues for the "mystery pro " so he can pick the one he likes best?

looking forward to the review

im making two of my stiffest and heaviest shafts that can get to the weight comfortably. the last cue i dont think will be in play as it wont make the weight and flex that i think hes after.
will have the next one spliced later today..

That would be nice indeed .

Makes no diff to playability of the cue though !!

It's kind of signature from the cue maker !!

I'm waiting to view some Maple wood bcuz that's what snooker is about ( for Maple lovers Community , of cours ) !!

cue reconstruction


i took all the lumps and bumps out of this vintage power glide and got it on the table, specs were 58.25/9.7/30.5/15.5bp/16oz.
after a few shots i thought the shaft was decent but the cues response was held back by it being too back heavy.
i believe i can help to make it play much better, so decided to operate and take it under the blade..

wow, that looks like quite a "project" you must really like that one

is that about 2oz of extra weight?

How are the "PRO" cues coming along? (looking forward to the reviews)

it should turn out quite nice,and not sure about the weight yet though i think it will turn out around 17oz

two cues are on hold and the last one i made will be on the table next week.

Looks like a nice project J.

Be good to see how the butt turns out. Nice to see the badge off in one piece!

the badge popped off while digging out the weight. the lead will be remolded, rose wood recycled as a front splice, and i may calve the badge back as a one off. not sure

Always a nice test!

Good idea to recycle the butt, never thought of that, don't know why!

a few pics to show how way out the points were on this powerglide. will hope to improve on that over the weekend.
