  • Thanks Dean, hopefully this one works.

    New Maximus Legend Plus (maple), and my current US pool setup, which is a Predator Roadline with a couple of 314-2 low deflection shafts, and a cheapy jump/break cue by Poison. Can't get away from Maple at the moment, just can't get on with ash

      Have you ever played with the ultimate maximum?
      If so I would be happy if you say what you think about both.
      I want to buy Maximus and I am Undecided between the ultimate and the legend plus.
      The price difference is twofold.

        I use a legend plus, can't see how an ultimate would be any better. Mine is maple, and the shaft is clean and without any blemishes, nice and stiff with minimal deflection. I can't see what an ultimate shaft could have to improve on that. I guess for an ash shaft you're paying extra for evenly spaced chevrons.

          The difference will be aesthetics. As Mark said it will be more evenly spaced chevrons etc. There won’t be a difference in how it plays. Saying that every cue plays differently even within the same range .

          I guess what you decide on will be based on how important looks are in a cue and how much money you’ve got to spend.

            Beautiful cue! ❤️

            Doesn’t the parris cue builder require a flash plug in on your web browser? ( bearing in mind i’m not good with mouses ) lol

              • Here are some pictures of my 8-ball cue, it's a "Ton Praram III Series 2 Pro" unsure of the exact specs off the top of my head but it weighs exactly 500gms and is 57" in length. I'm no pro but it seems to be working well in my first year playing competitively.

                  • Yeah no taper. I kinda like it, always feels the same and I can choose to rotate and see the chevrons or not.

                      That looks sick. The ash shaft would be absolutely perfect for me.

                      What's the lower wood on the butt and mini butt? Figured ebony? I'm looking to get something like that as a full butt when I get around to ordering my new cue soon enough.

                        • I had a couple of similar pool cues made, both sets of front splices are Wenge, I think I may need to polish or oil them as they’re both a touch weathered looking but have been stored in good leather cases etc
