Black Boar - 01-25-2020, 03:42 PM

I got to hit some balls today with a friends Black Boar.
Ebony points into maple.
Some Ivory inlays.
Nice looking cue.
A little light for my taste.
The cue had a nice neutral balance.
It played well.

But I did not feel the magic for a high end cue and it's cost.


New cue-Schmelke custom Bocote merry widow
Best of the bunch- The Mighty Lucasi Cocobolo
Back up cue - Troy Downey
I woke up.
Triangles tips and Masters chalk are good enough.

I only hit about 10 balls for about a minute.
6 solid Ebony points I think.
I will see it again this Saturday.

Interesting comment made by a rail bird.
He said that Black Boar Ebony 6 pointers hit better then the same cue with 4 points?
This made no sense to me.
Would 2 extra points change the hit?
Am I missing something here?

I have read on here Tony made the 6 pointers and someone else made the 4 pointers

Who woulda thunk it!

I guess that could make a difference?

Pretty much everybody has always said the 6 pointers played better.
