Well back when I was making waterbeds with a pool table in my shop. I used a scrap of mirror to set on the rail and give me a reflection of the target just above the rail. The mirror image became my target. 🤷‍♂️ A training aid kinda like training wheels. 🤷‍♂️

There once was a product like that - a longish triangular mirror that sat under the rail. Only for practice, of course...

Watching Patsura vs. Kuriansky now. Once again good camera work (thnx to director Vincent R.) and decent commentary along with a good referee, makes for a good show. They use the overhead a lot but it is used wisely, not so it's distracting. I got spoiled listening to John S. and Erik H. doing commentary so the two foreign voices were not nearly as legible or knowledgeable. What really bothered me though was constantly referring to Kuriansky as the Mexican and Patsura as the Ukranian. It was very demeaning to not call them by their actual names. Vincent should have put a stop to that quickly and he did not. It was nice for me to see a referee who knows his job. Same in the first match I watched. Much better than the refs Matchroom used on some of their shows. Once again some good pool being played by two men who carry themselves as professionals.

Did they get a new director? Definitely better camera work than before. At least, they are not focusing on the player's face as much as before rather than focusing on the table.

Making a sneaky pete from a blank

To someone that knows what they're doing, it's about as easy of a job they could get.


To someone that doesn't know what they're doing, they're probably going to wreck your blank lol.


Either send it to a known cue maker and get on their waitlist, or take a chance on a lesser known maker and ask to see some of their previous work and if it's good stuff, then proceed. Not many other options.

I won’t be building it myself, I’m just trying to understand the level of expertise required so I know who I can ask. There aren’t any cue builders in the country where I live but there are guys who repair cues who’d be able to install a pin and turn the blank down. Just wondering what else would need doing.

For that blank ($300+ probably) you should ship it to a reputable cue maker. You will want a nice finish to bring out the wood grain and color, which a hack would botch. The resale value of the cue will also be decent with that blank if it is professionally done, versus zero if it’s done poorly.
