Frequently asked questions
If you see a cue on this site, it is already completed (aside from the shaft and possibly the joint protectors).
Shafts are made to order depending on the requested tip size, taper, etc.
Shafts will typically take a week or less.
Material and time. Each cue uses the best materials available to me, and they take months to complete.
Whether a cue is a custom request will also impact the price.
I make lots of cues, some more interesting than others. I wish I could film and upload them all, but I think the content would be repetitive.
I tend to shoot the interesting cue requests, that are really unique or challenging in some way.
I offer both maple shafts and carbon fiber shafts.
My carbon fiber shafts have a nice long pro taper. I only offer them at 12.4mm currently.
My maple shafts, on tip widths greater than 12mm, are also pro taper. On tips widths thinner than 12mm, I switch to a more conical taper (to avoid shafts getting whippy).
For comparison/reference: Pro taper shafts would be like the Predator 314-3, or the Mezz Sigma. Conical taper shafts would be like the Predator Z3, or the Mezz WX900.
If you don't play enough pool to understand all this, then I'd suggest a 12.75mm tip.
For ferrules, I use Juma.
For tips, it is buyer's choice.
