The owner of 5000 is an avid billiard player and they used to have a 3 cushion tournament on Saturday nights. Every time I've been there there has been players on the billiard tables.
That's great, it has been years since I have played 3C.
I do remember most of what SJM showed me.
It seems every time I go to Chicago area I find pool rooms. Certainly not like it used to be but not a pool desert either.
And yet, for years, Kamui was really the only premium chalk. Now you have Taom, DrV, Pagulayan, Predator, Turning Point, Navigator, Molinari, Mezz. Gorst is going to come out with his own.

Also, don't sleep on 5000 years Carom billiards on Dempster in Morton Grove. Maps has it at 17 minutes from O'hare.
Several billiards tables and a lot of pool tables. It's a great practice room and the equipment is in great condition. Diamond bar tables and several 9' tables.
ive had lots of different tips but one thing ive found on all of them, the ball seems to go in the direction the tip hits it.
and almost all of the 700 plus players i know have no idea what brand of tip is on their multiple shafts. so i cant find out what a good tip is that makes you play well.

Looking for a POS 3/8x10 sneaky or Plain Jane butt to bring into a
few of the no-account bars I sometimes find myself at.
Preferably straight, dings and scars ok. I've got the POS shaft already.
PS ~ no McDermott Lucky or Star butts.
I have a Chris Whitaker butt I'd let go. Pretty much fits what you are looking for. Has a few scars and a 3/8-10" pin. It’s 29.5” and weighs 13.7oz. There is room for weight to be added but not sure how much. Looks to have been some sort of house cue conversion that he added a little dashed ring and butt cap to. I can get more details if you’re interested.
