I can't give any insight into cues, you would have to ask one of the many cue makers on here, those lads know their stuff.

Yep theres a lot of people willing to help here, plenty of good ideas and info.
Good luck with the cue
PS.. if you do ring that number work on the idea that you may be bringing your cue down to him and just want his initial opinion.
Sneaky I know but it gets you professional advice from a man who knows his stuff.... as well as ideas from people on this forum too.Last edited by mikeyd100; 6 February 2016, 02:51 PM.

Just my opinion but ..... It sounds like you just don't have any confidence in your cue . So if it were me I'd have it tapered a bit at a time and see if it starts playing the way I want it to . If it doesn't work and the cue ends up playing terrible I wouldn't care because I didn't have confidence in it in the first place .
So nothing to lose , everything to gain
Unless the cue is worth mucho £s. ....then I'd just sell it lol

I had a awful session last night with my new cue, even the simplest shot felt difficult.
So when I got home I weighed my old cue and it was just under 17 oz so I weighed my new cue and it was just under 18.5 oz (which I was told when I bought it should of been 18 oz)
So do think the weight and been stiffer is all playing a part in me not adjusting to my new cue.
May be if I'd tried it out first I wouldnt be in this mess, lesson learnt , my head hurts lol
Any ideas what to do

Also adjusting to any new cue really will take some time.
You gotta ask yourself if you have the patience to get used to the cue.
I feel for you as been there also.
All else fails then you may have to sell it, start over.Last edited by mikeyd100; 9 February 2016, 10:56 AM.

So I've got 3 options
1) sell it or may be px it
2) get it altered and still be no good
3) stick with it, but like some people said you can tell almost straight away if you like the feel.
So I'm going to..........
Get rid it's doing my head in
