Mike Wooldridge - *NEW* 'BlackSpin' Ferrule System

I'll let you know when I get my cue back
Can't wait

[Steve748]

You are getting a bit technical now PP...

I thought I saw one of the guys using a cue with a black ferrule on the coverage of the Aussie open....

Are any professionals using a MW cue with or without the new ferrule?

[pottr]

Low deflection? Just cue the ******* ball better!

Mike obviously knows how to play a bit because he mentioned the only thing that matters when playing with a cue. The feel when you hit it.

As soon as Mike gets caught up I will place an order on his VCM because it can't hurt to try, curiousity has won the battle over me.

But please can folk stop mentioning the cue being this entity that causes the white to mysteriously veer of course. I feel like I'm tearing my pissing hair out everytime I catch up on this gargantuan thread.

Mike, you probably have had this asked many times already but do you have any idea on when you'll open up your custom cue web page again?

[MikeWooldridge]

So what to be clear, does this ferrule do? We know it leads to a firmer and crisper hit, which buyers can and have verified. Does it increase spin on the ball and also stun, ceteris parabus (other things being equal) compared to a brass ferrule?

my experience shows it does.

particularly noticeable on long drag shots. very noticeable how much easier it is.

not as far as i know. very few people have it at the moment, although i am swamped with orders so it won't be long before you see more.

not just yet mate. we really are flat out here right now.

i played my best snooker and made all my big breaks with a normal 1pc brass ferruled cue, and until i 'accidentally' discovered this recently, i would never have felt the need to change or dreamt i would be suggesting using anything different.

the feedback i have received to date has far exceeded even my own expectations, with an overwhelming concensus that the hit of the ball, and the ease of generating spin is easier.

along with that 'delicious' contact, lower deflection has been a key benefit that customers have commented on.

and liked very much.

[MikeWooldridge]

So does it increase screw back?

with less effort, yes i think it does.

Hi Mike,
Are the order to delivery times quoted on your site still accurate? Just with you saying how busy you are.

struggling but trying to keep as many as possible pretty close.

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of getting another cue in the near future, hence the questions. Hypothetically, If I have one custom made, should I ask the maker to send you the cue (once you've agreed to do the job of course) without a ferrule/tip, just a plain wood end? This might get me a wee discount and there's also no point adding a ferrule/tip that has to be removed before it's even played with.

[MikeWooldridge]

yes that's easier.

[pottr]

not just yet mate. we really are flat out here right now.

Thanks Mike. When you do open it back up, please start a separate thread stating so...

[Particle Physics]

yes that's easier.

I've taken ferrules off before, with a dremel and a steady hand. It's tricky work. Easier not to put one on and take it off!

Just got my legend from mike on Monday, had 3 hours to play yesterday, Result, one word: Superb.
Cue is amazing, feel very solid and blackspin just make my shot easier.
For sure doing english is easier and more important is the "feel" of the every shoot and the sound when hit the CB is "Delicious" LOL....
i will post the cue pictures later on other Thread ( with 4 evenly arrows and dead straight grain on both side!!, silky smooth ash shaft and MW Brand quality guarantee )
Thanks Mike for your Amazing cue and Blackspin Technology!!

PS:
so i will say too...."Once you go black, you'll never go back..."
