Are pro cut pockets only specifying that you want tight dimensions or does it mean the way they are physically cut? Are the rails cut exactly to specification without the need to add anything to the end of the rubber or do they sometimes require (for lack of the right word) facings, shims or...

I've done my searches through the forums and found the threads that pair up Diamond and Brunswick in terms of preference and quality. I think both are great but this thread is more about my specific situation. I have two choices and I'm trying to see which would be better. Gold Crown III $2000...

I recently bought a house which was in the process of being built. The foundation was already poured when I bought it and it's currently it's in the early framing stage. The game room is upstairs and since it's in the framing stages I was actually able to ask for extra floor/ceiling...

Okay so I'm building a house. I found a floor plan that has a game room that has 21'3" x 12'10" of useable floor space. Technically the dimensions of the interior walls are 21'3" x 16'10" but that extra 4ft is actually 36" stairs and 6" rail which extends about 75% of the room. My dilemma.... I...

Anyone have pain from playing pool? I've played for years but I just started having problems with my bridge arm shoulder. This started about 4 months back. Every time I went to shoot pool my shoulder would hurt after an hour of play. This worries me because I've played in several multi day...

I have been playing with ivory ferrules for years but always with pads. I've always heard they dampen the hit of a cue. I've been thinking about taking the pads off my ferrules for more "feel." I'm not looking for any magic cure to make me play better. I'm just wondering if I get the pads...

hey anyone have one for sale? I'm looking for a Med/Soft or Med. whichever is closest to a moori med. with all the talk on the main forum I'm interested in trying one...who's got a good price?

Hey guys I haven't posted on this forum in a long time and I'm a little out of the loop as far as tips go. I did a search but the word tip or tips is too small. So I'm looking for a new tip. I've been playing with Moori's for years, but I'd like something different because mine gloss over...

I've read several times that a burl forearm should be cored for stability. I was wondering if the feel of the cue would be affected by the type of wood used. I'd imagine maple would be a good standard to core a cue with, but what if you liked the feel of another wood. I've read many people...

I've been in a bit of a slump for a while so I went back to basics using as little english as needed. I also have been slowing my game down a bit to focus on each shot. I thought it was helping but I kept getting worse and worse. Now today I just said oh well lets just bang balls around fast...

For those who have one shaft as a main player, how did you choose? I'm in a bit of a dilemma because after a few months of going back and forth to see what shaft I want to settle down on I still can't decide. This is why it's difficult. One shaft is higher quality wood as some would say. In a...

I was wondering if anyone here on this forum knows the best way to get in contact with Dennis Searing. I've PMed a few guys already... by the way, THANKS!. This is just a general question. I've PMed him on the forum as well as sent an email. A couple months back I tried the phone. I've been...

I've been searching the forums for a lot of posts about different tip brands, and tip shapes as well as having different cues for different shots (jump/break) I got a funny idea in my head about having a cue with 2 shafts and one with a dime radius and one with a nickel for different...

After reading a similar post I decided to tell my story about my cue's hit and feel changing but in a very different way. I received the cue in October and have been switching out the 2 shafts each time I played for a month. Shaft A hits and feels amazing while shaft B hits and feels about 75%...

I saw a yellow buffalo case in the for sale forum earlier, and several weeks back I saw some sort of snake skin instroke 4x8 case. On one very popular website I saw a red/white/blue case listed under limited and custom cases. My question is, does instroke make a custom case if you were to...

In my many halls I've frequented, I've come to realize that in over half the halls I know, there is that one older gentleman who is almost always there. He doesn't play on his table, but he does talk to the regulars and he asks them to play a quick game. He doesn't have a stick of his own, but...

I've been a regular of many pool halls in the past. I move around quite a bit and have been a regular at many halls. I've found that there is almost no one that I can have a good discussion about pool with. Allow me to clarify, I don't mean about a game on TV last week, or last weeks league...

Over the last 3 weeks I've noticed the hit of my cue sounding and feeling different. First I want to say I've been playing with only one cue for the last 4 months. I have not shaped or scuffed the tip since November. The cue shaft hasn't been cleaned with anything. It only gets burnished...

Hi guys I need an ego check or something. This situation has come up a couple times. Every few months, I go visit my parents or some old friends on weekends in another city. I found a small pool hall that has only two 9ft tables, but at a fantastic rate. The tables are well kept despite it...

I'm on vacation and still visiting family. I got the OK to shoot some pool :) I need some drills to work on AIM and shot making. I'm only going to focus on those two for now. Anyone have some aim or shotmaking drills? Not looking for banks, english, speed control etc for now. I don't have...
