Best 7’ table other than Diamond!

I played on a Predator barbox at last year's Expo for about 20 minutes. It played perfect to me, including the pockets. The only thing I didn't like was the "tink" sound the balls made when hitting the pocket.

You guys are forgetting that most players, even serious players, can't run a rack on a Valley. Easy pockets are ok imo. (And the Predator pockets are nowhere as easy as a stock Valley). Super tough pockets like on a 9' Diamond take the fun out of the game. Medium tough pockets like on a 7' Diamond (shorter shelf than the 9' with the same pocket cut) is about the max difficulty tables should be for 99% of the players, imo.

What???? If you cant run racks on a Valley you are probably not a "serious player".

Sold Jerry -R- (?) Titleist Purple heart conversion - sold pending payment

RandyinHawaii
I bought this cue from a reputable seller as a Jerry -R- conversion, but can't find a signature or other marking to confirm that it really is. So pricing it as if it is not. IMHO, excellent conversion.

I bought this cue from a very reputable seller at a Jerry -R- conversion, but can't find find signature or marking to actually confirm that it is. So selling as if it is not. IMHO a really good conversion

Specs:

Butt:
weight = approximately 15.1oz
length = approximately 29'
Pin = 5/16x14 piloted
condition = do not see or feel any dings or scratches. There is a slight lift at the joint (see picture), but had to shine a light to see it.

Shaft:
weight = approximately 4.1oz
length = approximately 29'
Tip diameter = approximately 12.15 mm
Tip = unknown
Condition = do not feel or see any dings or scratches. Some taper roll. Although I don't see it, to be safe going to say a very little lift at tip when rolled attached to butt.

Price = sold pending payment. Believe that is a fair price based on slight lift at joint/smaller tip diameter/and possible very minor lift at tip when rolled with butt.

Price includes USPS shipping, insurance, and PayPal fees.

I will only ship to USA address and will only accept PayPal (G&S) as payment.

Please DM me if you have any questions.

Wrap sealing

Kim Bye
You can definitely seal and clear a linen wrap. Obviously it helps that the wrap is nice and clean and very tight. The looser the wrap, they more issues you potentially will have down the line.
Another alternative if you want that wrapless feel is stacked leather, that can be sanded incredibly smooth and poished to a high gloss.
Ryan is obviously the stacked leather boss, he's wraps are perfect!

They were stored in my warehouse in an area that got cleared out when our export department expanded. My guys said they may have been thrown out. I told them if they couldn't find them ASAP, someone was gonna get fired.

They literally found them a couple minutes ago...

Quality equipment makes it easier for a top player to perform. Might not be a must but easier. It is also much easier for a banger to perform with the better equipment. Doesn't mean they have to spend a ton on equipment but they will learn faster with their own cue than playing off the wall. I have found that true in almost any pursuit.

Talk drifted to race cars in this thread. The first race car I drove was a late model. Six hundred horsepower or a bit more, NASCAR legal chassis and a chassis I soon learned how to tune. By the end of my first season the boom and bust of the oilfield had gotten me and I spent a few months making a living off of the race car and pool stick. I could play off the wall and win, I could win with a car in serious need of TLC too. I caught the attention of a local legend with the car. It was shy on paint and body work; like in pool, I met everyone halfway. Rough drivers found I met them halfway, clean drivers found out the same thing. Accidental hits resulted in apologies after races, deliberate rough driving was met in kind. The car was a '57 Chevy, much battered by the end of the season. The track owner and the legend were standing watching cars qualify near the end of the season. When I pulled out to qualify the legend turned to the track owner and said "that old son of a bitch will run!" talking about my car. I hadn't beaten him yet but I had passed him on an open track and I had his attention in my first season racing.

A couple years later I had sold my car to help pay for my new commercial shop I was building. I was offered a ride in a hobby car. A foul handling beast, equally important, the car didn't have the horsepower to get it out of trouble when it got out of shape. Had I started in hobby class like most did it would have taken me several more seasons to learn to drive.

I can go to rifles and pistols and say the same thing. Good equipment made it far easier to learn. I shot the first perfect score in a series of matches with a pistol in my second season with a carefully tuned pistol and ammo. I was doing well with a solid rifle and solid wind flags when I went to rifle competition. It is easier to learn with top quality consistent equipment in any pursuit I believe judging by the wide range of things I have done including on the job.

If somebody was starting out today and money wasn't an issue I would let them shoot a few months then have them buy a solid butt and carbon fiber low deflection shaft to finish learning with. More fun to play with quality equipment and easier to learn too. No sense in learning to play twice. A Dufferin cue off the rack will work as a learner, might want to change the tip and ferrule, I haven't shot with one lately.
