      • I hope these shafts are worth the hours invested in immaculate slice work. I get a nose bleed at the thought of having to sand and finish another cue. This is way out of my league.

          ithink most of those shafts are worth cutting down.
          i dont do to much sanding, most of its done with the plane. even then the face mask is the first thig to go on in the workshop

          • Can I ask how close you came J? If that's not too personal, It must have been pretty damn close.
            Just to add I have played players that tried their had at the qualifiers in Blackpool back in the day and they don't cue as nice as you.

              i never tried. i was into playing for a few quid and giving out silly handycaps. at the time there was no better buzz like playing for your wages at the end of the week. still in the club saturday morning with the cleaners hovering around your feet.
              but looking back now, though i was hyper competitive the reality was i hadt esteem issues. always ready to push the self destuct button. wouldnt gel with being a serious player.. happy to say im a bit calmer now as a family man

                      thats exactly my thoughts. i liked it at 57 but i just felt it would liven up being an inch longer. the cue was about 30yrs old so, after the much needed operatiion i see a long life ahead, for what is now a really good playing cue

                            • Hi Jason

                              You've been making a few cues now with a slimmer butt. May I ask what you think are the benefits of a slimmer butt as opposed to say a 29.5mm or 30mm butt.

                                hi jono, when you say benefits is that cue or technique?
