Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

Hail Mary Shot

A few years back, a guy told me that when people visit his home to play, they use cues from his collection. Not bargain-basement or standard house cues. This stuck with me as a nice idea. I'm about to finish my own pool room, and am considering the same approach. I have 2 house cues that came with my table (may or may not be worth putting new ferrules / tips on), and my own cues are decent quality but not super high-end. They're all straight, and have decent tips on them.

- Action player cue with wrap and maple shaft
- Action junior size cue
- Players wrapless with REVO shaft + maple shaft
- Meucci Merry Widow player with Pro shaft
- Jerry Olivier Merry Widow with wrap and CF playing shaft + maple shaft
- Jerry Olivier basic wrapless with CF break shaft
- super heavy Xcel breaker
- one of those ASKA cues from Amazon
- plus the two house cues that came with the table

(I also have two Catalog-era Palmers; those are for players only!)

Friends and guests vary widely in playing experience; most just here for fun and a very informal local neighborhood league.

Thoughts?

I would just put out some typical budget good cues. If I see that some of them know what they're doing and takes good care of those cues while playing, I'll ask they if they want to try some other cues.

At a certain level in pool, the break is the deciding factor. Yet almost nobody practices it with intention. Change that with the BreakRAK Pro.

This kit eliminates the "busy work" of racking, allowing for high-volume, intentional training with the mechanical resistance of a frozen rack.

• Condition: Minimal wear; home use only.
• Includes: Original hard case and manual.
• Fit: All components included for 7’, 8’, and 9’ tables.
• Note: Standard mechanical unit; radar not included.

Had trouble finding specific matches on Sharkstream. Is US Al's channel public? I remember his pals were always funny. You could always see enough of the feature match didn't need much expert commentary anyway. There's a US Al stickie up there with zero responses. Hope he got funding.

I watched all his streams this event without incident. Maybe you have to like or follow him on FB.

BTW if you have a Digital Pool account (even a free one) you could watch any match (except when the stream was messed up).

New Years Resolution

D
Well, that New Years Resolution didn't last too long.

I went downstairs tonight to get on my amateur radio station and check into the Indiana Traffic Net. I saw my GCIV sitting there and said, what the heck, I've got a few extra minutes.

So I racked the balls and broke a rack of 9B.

Squatted the CB.

Made a ball on the break.

Had a shot on the 1B.

Ran out.

Imagine that.
