Although heavily interested in the Mosconi Cup, I can't follow the late matches here in Europe. So I was excited to read the score this morning (2 - 8). But it es also quite exciting to read all the comments here on AZB, although they keep repeating themselves every year (OK - the last seven...

Going on a business trip in October to Atlanta. The Missus asked me what I am doing in the evening. I told her that I will be exploring the domestic table culture. She looked a bit puzzled but probably had something social or cultural in mind. However, on my mind is a good Steak and some racks...

Will be on a business trip in Bangkok, Pattaya and China the next 2 weeks. Anybody from Thailand in here that can recommend a good pool room in Bangkok? I will take my travel cue with me and will try to shoot some on Monday night in Bangkok. Gerhard

We made some more tests recently in the company to produce Boron-Carbide. They went quite well and we are producing this material in several shapes now. Production temperature is app. 2,200°C (app. 4,000°F).;) As you might know, Boron-Carbide (B4C) is very, very hard (close to diamond) and...

Here is my new B/J. It was built to my specifications, using partially my own wood. That wood was originally intended to be used for knife making. Good thing is, I have quite some more of it. The cue features a purple heart shaft with (a rather thick) 13.5mm and a samsara BJ-tip. The butt is...

Hi Folks, Just picked up a new Q. I thought I would share a few impressions with the connoisseurs. The pictures are really bad, but I am travelling right now and have no camera on hand. I will try and get some better pictures later. Now: Before you want to guess the maker, please have a look...

Could you please help me ID this cue! It was sold to me as a Schon app. 10 years ago, although it was sold with a Vollmer shaft with ivory ferule. It is a used cue and has some very minor chips at the butt end. The rings at the joint look exactly like the rings on the new Shon-shaft that i...

Hello friends, I will be in the Baltimore area beginning of next year. Traditionally, I try to buy a cue every year, when I come to the states. So far, I had the pleasure to buy a Prewitt, Tascarella, Josey, Blackcreek ... Do you have any suggestions? I read that Tim Scruggs and Bob Fry are in...

Hi folks, As I got a nice lathe at home, I thought I could do a new tip myself. I bought a couple of Kamuis. I did it like I saw on the instruction video. Ground the side, named "glue side" a bit on sand paper and glued the tip on. One time with epoxy, one time with cyanid glue (instant glue)...

Dear cuemakers, Is there any recommended literature out there on how to make cues? It is not that I expect to read something and will then be able to make my own cue. But I would just like to read more about the process of cue making to understand the complexity of the trade. As a, say...
