When others comment on billiard situations, moments etc, why is there a desire for some to go the other way, when talking and working with another makes life/billiards and this ''addictive game'' so intrusive /negative when they show up?
Why not roll with the punches and learn, sometimes we wished we could/would of ducked.
I prefer shooting hangars/ducks with out ammunition.
That's how I prefer to Roll.
That means you're not getting good adhesion between layers. You need to test out some oil types to see what works best for your CA type and process, my preferred product was danish oil.
CA finishing has been extensively tested/covered by pen turners, quite of bit of information out there for what works well, you just need to sort through the crap.
I'm not necessarily the most careful player out there, nearly all my cues are used hard with bumps and bruises. For me, CA has been the most durable, but please don't take my word for it, test all the finishes out for yourself, so many different products out there with various pros and cons.
playing cheap sets with a friend the other day. He's a strong player, already gives me games on the wire. Offered me the breaks. The only good it did me is it stopped him from breaking.

Prize money is not prize money is not prize money. Pool rooms that host events do so knowing that there're going to lose money. They host/add money as a give back to the players and to advertise the room and maybe try to leave their mark a bit on the sport. Major tournaments are a different matter. They are looking at the bottom line maybe not for the specific event but certainly for the future of the brand they want to promote. I think we need to separate the two when looking at prize monies and the politics of sport.
Has anyone ever modified the butt end of a cue to accept a screw in extension? I have been wanting to get a 4" extension for my PureX cues but some only have a butt plug without any threads in the butt end.
I was thinking there might be a way to get a tool that can cut thresds in the butt, but the opening for the bumper plug seems too large to cut threads without making the wall too thin. I know there are threaded inserts that can go in some of the popular cue brands, but I haven't seen any for PureX cues.
I am willing to modify the butt end to accomodate the extension, although I don.t know what is the best way to go about it. Hopefully someone out there has been able to solve this prooblem and can give me some constructive advice on how to modify the cue or where to purchase an insert, plug and 4" extension for PureX cues.
I believe that Balance Rite might make an extension that would accommodate some of your cues. It might be easier to get an extension between the joint pin and the shaft for the rest.
Hope this helps.
