Current Cues

Playing Cue - Mezz ZZ08 (Hybrid Pro II & WD700 Shafts)

This is my first high ended production cue from Mezz.. It comes with 2 shafts, the Mezz Hybrid Pro II which I simply adore and WD700.. I got this cue by chance after mistakingly selling my EC-J to another fanatic.. I love not only the way the cue plays, but also the look..

Mezz cues are made in Japan and produces some of the world's finest production cues. The word "Mezz" in Japanese means "Something that is loved, something that is treasured". Mezz Cues is driven by the passion to innovate, enhance and manufacture high quality, game improvement billiard products that provide a sense of confidence every time they are played. Mezz Cues is very technologically driven, very comparable to the other technologically driven production cue maker, Predator Cues.. Miki's United joint system fits the two cue parts with unparalleled quality control standards. The perfect adherence between male and female parts enhances energy transfer and distributes that energy equally even on off center hits.

The Hybrid Pro II shaft is made from the marrying of carbon fibre and hard maple, resulting in a shaft 30% stronger than conventional shafts without sacrificing the flexibility of the shaft.. Like most high ended shafts are notwithstanding custom shafts, it is a low deflection shaft..

WD700 is slightly less stiffer, somewhere in between the whipiness of a 314 and HPII and I think it wouldn't be a big switch for someone using a 314.. It also has lesser deflection on the cueball compared to conventional shafts.. And it's much cheaper than a 314`! Anyways, been using this as my spare shaft, it doesn't get much play, might consider selling it off at a price I can't resist.. Lol..

Break Cue - Mezz ZZ-BK (Power Break 1)

Traded my Fury JB-BS for this wonderful break cue.. Simply love this cue, everything from its looks, play, right down to the SP Grip..

Enough said about Mezz, here's some information on this wonderful breaker.. The Mezz SP Grip wrap is a very good piece of wrap, giving the user maximum grip on the cue while performing the break.. The silicone material with high-traction surface gives your greater control and consistency in your break..

The coccobolo found on this cue is impregnated with a phenolic resin that will increase cue power and accuracy. This cue comes with the 1st generation PB shaft that is milled from heavy maple for added density and strength.. It is also designed with a stronger taper for better control..
This cue gives me very great control over my stroke and power.. Simply love the way it spreads the rack leaving my cue ball in the middle of the table most of the time..
