I have a mucci from the early 90s. I wish i got 2 shafts , but i was young and didnt have much cash , it took me 3 months too pay for the stick with 1. I broke with it everytime i played and i played for years. 9ball. Its the only stick that i didnt break the ferrel. All my 'cheaper " cues broke eventually

Wow I thought those were indestructible

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@@Jmmac104 Definitely not. The ferrule was actually separating from the shaft. It seems that the glue failed internally. Thanks for commenting.

[@luclambrechts3001]

welke vloeistof gebruik je met het oorstokje , en welk nut heeft dit. top video

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@luclambrechts3001 I use Tiger Liquid Burnisher on the qtip. I use it to seal up the sides of the tip. The liquid and heat cause the tip to seal itself and make the sides nice and shiny. Thanks for commenting.

How did you know how thick you are cutting when you are making the ferrule? you didn't use a caliper to check if the diameter fits into the shaft, does your machine have some sort of measuring guide?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@warrente66 My lathe does not have any kind of measuring guide on it. At the 9:00 mark you can see what I do. Once I start to get close, I will turn off the lathe and do a test fit. I don't show it every time in the video, but I will do it quite a bit until it fits perfectly. Thanks for commenting.

[@tkreiner1902]

What happend to the carbon surface? Did someone tried to sand it with 80grit?😅

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@@tkreiner1902 Your guess is as good as mine. Lol

How did you get that vault plate to stay there without a very small hole through it?The ones I’ve done wouldn’t stay because of air pressure,and what material is that,it didn’t cut like tomahawk?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@Dugnew After I apply the epoxy and insert the vault plate. I apply pressure to the vault plate using the flat face of the tool post. You can see that at the 12:03 mark. The shaft will sit there under pressure until the epoxy cures. Normally, they will set for at least 12 hours. I will also note that this shaft's threaded insert was open, not sealed. Even though it was filled with foam, it might have allowed enough air to escape as I inserted the vault plate, preventing the back pressure. That said, I have also replaced the ferrule on a Cuetec Cynergy shaft, which was sealed, using the same type of vault plate, the same installation method, and had no issues with that one either. The material I am using for the vault plate is cotton phenolic. It is incredibly light but extremely strong. Thanks for commenting.

[@stevevenus1]

Why don't they have removable tips?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@stevevenus1 A short answer to this question would be that quality pool cues need quality tips and also ferrules. The tip needs to be affixed to the ferrule, and the ferrule needs to be securely attached to the cue in order for the player to get feedback, aka "feel," out of every shot they take.
