JP Unique cue

Square at the end of the shaft??

If the shaft goes to end of the cue you can see the square where it's been planed for the 4 splices. Even with a butt socket you can still see the corners

[Rikki147]

Oh right. Yes there's no square there that I can see

[Master Blaster]

In that case then it's proof this cues the real deal as I'm sure john would say so if not. Also I've got my receipt if anyone wants to see it lol. I didn't realise my cue was going to get so much conversation lol ��

Ah, folk are obsessed with JP, it's the Ali v. Forman thing, one has to pick a camp.

The shaft doesn't need to go to the end of the cue for it to show a square at the end.

I'm sure a cue maker can shed some light on this but on every JP cue I've seen you don't see the square of the shaft at the end.

On Trevor White cues for example you can clearly see the square at the end of the cue. In Thaigate, wasn't it established that Thai shafts are supplied at something like 50"?

That doesn't really mean anything, the shaft could just be planed down to a smaller square so that the joint hides it. Also with the thai shafts they are extended from the 46-48" to the normal cue length so the square would also show if it were larger than the butt joint.

I don't know. Was it? So you're saying no Thai cue maker makes a cue with a 60" square? Not even Ton Praram? If this is the case then they're all doing a bit of butterfly splicing towards the end of the cue on four sides, around 8" from the butt end? I'd be happy if you could answer this please? I'm looking at a Phoenix and now I have these crazy technical gremlins running in my head. Help!

Which cue is this Bill?

Thanks for that. I'm still going to believe what Del told me

[billabong]

Dunno, just a picture I found. .

Is this the one that was butchered in Thaigate?

I can't say for certain every cue isn't a full length piece, but the vast majority aren't

Don't blame you, one can't be seen leaning one way too much

Starts off as a cosy JP Unique thread and now the kitchen is blown up to bits after someone threw a Thai hand grenade in. And for once, it ain't Blaster's fault Trevor, take note!

Rikki, a part of me is almost praying that this cue is kosher now mate !...else you may have to change your name, go underground, and maybe hideout in Siberia or something
