  • Today on Studiotronics, we're making a pool cue from scratch. Jack's full splice cue is 62 inches of African Blackwood, Abalone, and carbon fiber.
    This is, to date, the most challenging build I've attempted. Thanks to Jack for letting me take on his vision.

      ⁠​⁠@@cheemomugdoo799without trying to be rude or anything…there’s a difference in stress levels. Fly rods bend back and forth, cues get slammed on end into a 6-ounce phenolic ball. Bamboo inlays would probably work, but as far as an entire butt or shaft made of bamboo, I don’t know.

    I am in awe of this man. What dedication and talent he has! When he was on the computer figuring the V cuts for laying in the Abalone, that blew my mind. I’m a huge fan of black anything and this is by far the most beautiful cue I’ve ever laid eyes on, wow! The Abalone against the glossy black African wood sent chills up my spine. I would name this The Black Mamba and have him inscribe that somewhere on my cue and I’d cherish it forever. I could never afford such a beautiful piece of art, but I’m just curious, how much would a cue like this run? $5000? $10,000? And me being 5’10” I prefer a cue longer than the standard 58”, so 62” is absolutely perfect. Thank you for this wonderful, entertaining video! You do incredible work! ❤❤❤

    I prefer a 60" or 62" cue over the standard 58". The problem is if you want to take it on a plane a 60" cue will barely fit corner to corner in a 28" suitcase, which is the maximum size allowed on many flights. I use a 60" cue. It seems like a standard size cue with an extension is more convenient but I haven't tried playing with an extension either in the center or a butt extension. Shane Van Boening used a butt extension all the time for a long time so it must be okay.
