Haha I never heard of a cue ball breaking. I guess I haven't seen it all just yet. And yea I was pretty embarrassed as well. I swear the whole bar stopped and started looking at me

Ya about 2 months ago I heard a crack when I broke with it. It was in the back of my mind that it would eventually break. I guess the good thing is the shaft is still good on it so I may try and find a butt for it. I just don't know what kind of joint it is. When I have time I'll post a pic and...

it was a break/jump cue. It was the jump part of the butt that shattered. Really strange that the shaft and the lower part of the butt is still good.

Like the title says. I went to a local bar after my tournament last night. Slow tables and dirty balls. You are very fortunate if 3 balls hits a rail on the break. Anyways I broke the balls hard as hard as I could and my cue snapped and wood went flying everywhere. I did save the shaft and...

I personally wouldn't have a problem with anyone using those things against me. The way I look at it is the persons stroke isn't straight enough without it. So the chances are the guy is still going to have problems playing shape. So let him use what he needs to use to get better at the game.

Let's not bring race into this subject. We all know if it was a white man and Gene mentioned white man, not one person would ask him why he mentioned he was white. Who cares if he was white, black or Mexican. I like stories and that put a picture in my head while I was reading the story...

I advise for you to give it a try. I kept an open mind about it. It spoke for itself after I was done with it.

I just got off the phone with Gene. Has anyone else tried the Perfect Aim system? I was very skeptical at first and was thinking there is no way this guy can show me anything over the phone. Man was I wrong! He had me set up different shots and before I even told him I missed he not only...

Now I'm more confused than I was 10 minutes ago. Half those tests were 50/50 results with my dominant eye. O man

Hold both your hands out in front of your face. make a very small hole with your thumbs and pointing finger. Like a small diamond shape is the best way to describe it. Now when you make a small hole look through that hole at an object on the wall. example, maybe a nail hole in your wall...

I don't know if this counts but I am in love with trying new drills out. I found a few drills on this page. I have some shot patterns from the same site but must have not bookmarked it. I have PDF for both of them anyways. http://www.scribd.com/doc/17731117/Billiard-Drills

I was all about non-layered for ever. Finally tried a layered tip and I absolutely love it! I put that baby on and shaped it. Besides the occasional scuff, I have not had to touch it since.

Thank you guys for your input. I got a chance to look at a few of those cue makers and yes they look like they make very nice cues. I'm going to be busy looking through all those cues now.

I just love looking around on the internet at custom cues. I was curious if anyone knows of some not so big named custom cue makers that have nice hits that are relatively new to the cue building. I'm also just curious what new cue-makers people think may become collectibles in the future...

I believe there will be a decline of ivory used in cues in the next decade or so. I'm a young kid. 24 years old. I believe my generation and the next could honestly care less if a cue has ivory or not. I believe with the US making it illegal most people my age or younger has never heard of...

Thank you very much, will give that a try

Just looking for a copy of "A Pool Lesson" by Jerry Briesath DVD. If anyone has the DVD that they don't mind getting rid of for a decent price just PM me please. Going to be out of town for a few days so won't be able to pay until Monday or so but will try and get a chance to check my...

Thank you everyone for the responses. To be honest I actually got overwhelmed with all of the cues to choose from. I did buy a cue and hopefully I will be on the road to a good rep around here. Now for the longest week of my life waiting for a cue lol.

I'm looking for a decent custom cue for around $200 (college student and cant afford much more). It must have the 3/8x10 joint. (I believe thats a McDermott joint) because I'm so used to my Predator shaft I want the opportunity to switch to my Predator shaft if I can't get used to the new...
