My new TW is ready

[cazmac1]

So are you keeping your JP or are you selling that too?

You're the most confused user of a cue I've ever met!

Can you imagine how my misses feels.

[cazmac1]

For those who are interested the cue specs are as follows....
lenght is 57.5
weight 17 and 1/8 of an OZ
balance is 16 and 3/4
Butt size is 29.5
Tip 9.5mm

Bit too short for me

You shouldn't be with a missus if you're feeling confused! :-)

[cazmac1]

I aint that bloody confused lol.

[cazmac1]

try this on for confusing, I had a guy who was really interested in the cue and when he asked me to name my price I just didn't want to let the cue go, I couldn't stand the thought of ordering another cue and waiting months for it to be made. So I'm going to give this cue another chance. So am with drawing it from sale at this moment in time.
Thanks everyone for the interest.

Stick with it man. Will come good in the end. How can a 29.5mm butt be too slim? Haha.

you're confused? think about how all us forum members feel ... didn't you recently sell a JP that you were getting on very well with because you were sure this TW would be "the one" ... and then you were going to sell the TW because you'd found another one which was "the one" (make undisclosed but balance point at 19" or summat) ...

but now you want to give the TW another go in case it is "the one" after all ...

I'm confused!

Hey DandyA, it takes some ppl longer than others. I've been guilty of the same in the past. Chill man.

Seems strange yes because I've not been putting up all the details but as you have brought it up I will fill you in. The cue is going back to TW to be resplice in order to thicken the butt I was going to have the balance point altered by having the cue made into a 3/4 but have decided against this action as it would devalue the cue if I dont get on with it. I've had some nice breaks with the TW cue and there is no doubting the quality of the cue so I'm going to give it every chance.

[cazmac1]

I just want to add that after giving some thought I don't see how the balance point can be the problem. It has to be the butt size. We all know that before you've even potted a ball with a cue it has to feel right in the hand. This game is played in the mind as much as anything else and these things, no matter trivial they may seem can have a massive impact on your game. To answer your question inoff it's hard to explain but I feel like when I'm delivering the cue that I'm not squeezing the butt at the correct time in the stroke, When I try to do the del hill drive I feel like my cue hand is to far advance of the vertical in the address position and this is throwing my timing out.
I have to go with my gut on this one, if finding the perfect cue was easy we’d all have are perfect cue but unfortunately there is no set formula that we can use to work it out.

This is the right thing to do. I spoke to Trevor for the first time on the phone since ordering ( having only used emails before ) last Wednesday as I wanted to talk about the thickness of the shaft and some things are just easier to describe on the phone. Trevor's knowledge is incredible. I wanted the shaft of the TW to be slimmer than I had originally wanted and he gave me examples of how a tiny difference in measurement ( .3mm at the 12" point below the tip ) can be huge for one player and not another. It made total sense and summed up perfectly what I was trying to put across to him. That gives me every confidence this is going to work out.

If not the first time, then yeah, I'll be sending the cue back to TW also, until it's as good as I feel it can be for me. Glad you're sticking with it Caz, will be worth it in the end. Like your pictures showed, cracking piece of wood m8!

[cazmac1]

Thanks for the support inoff. I went down the culb today and had a mare, it could be all the drink I had last night lol. I did improve however but had to change my grip to suit the cue. I had to play with a SH style grip with a straight wrist, instead of the RO type grip I've been using since seeing del hill.

[cazmac1]

I have now decided to sale this cue. £300 and it comes with matching mini butt
