Thank you all for taking the time to help. I had a very reputable cuemaker look at the blanks when picking up another cue from a refinish and he measured them and felt they were straight and thick enough for conversion. I very well may have goofed up the measurements because they feel pretty oversized in diameter compared to the profile of most modern cues. Anyways, if any cue makers are interested in converting one of these please send me a PM. I will give you my phone number and we can talk through the design and price. Also I will be at the expo in April and can bring them then.

GC3s and 4s (5s?) still dominate the New England area. In fact I have only played on a Diamond one time in my life and it wasn’t here. Maybe it is because there aren’t new pool halls opening.

Just watched it on a site called Daily Motion. Free, but has ads that pop up like commercials did back then.
It's also flipped horizontally, so any signs or writing are backwards.

That was pretty cool, a real throwback watching it.
Thanks for posting it.

Just get you one of those cheap CF jumpers from Amazon. They jump better than several other jump cues I have by custom makers, sorry to say. Unless you're a purist and the cheap stuff bothers you. The one I have is effortless. I haven't tried a ball width yet, but 2 balls is no prob. Consistently.

Which one did you get, if you don't ming me asking? Also, some reviews I have found suggested that changing the tip on the cheap cues makes them even better? Has that been your experience?

I think this is great news. Gives me a chance to sweat the open for the first time. Not sure how the weather is relevant, the AC will be blasting. They put the rangers in an indoor stadium to keep the fans cool. Plenty of good eating. Also if you have to gamble it’s legal to bet on just about anything on your phone so no real need to have a nearby casino to give your money to.

They might even be Granite. Some Gabriels are granite which is pretty wild to me but my lone experience with their pool tables is at Country Retreat Family Billiards in Boone, NC. Owned by @ChrisinNC and let me tell you they are flat out the best rolling tables I've ever played on. You can hit it as slow as you want in all directions and it just will not roll off. Extremely impressive.

Gabriel’s web site says 30 mm slate, 1 or 3 piece.

Have a digicue, like to see all green 10, Im just not clear on exactly what the FIN is measuring , the pause and delivery? Overall it has been a great help in tuning my stroke, the only thing that I would include is a way to record if the stroke was a miss or pocketed ball,

Finish is how still you stay after your shot is complete… staying down on your shot. I can add the feature of ball miss or pocketed.

Ive never used the J flowers jump cue but i do own the propel and have been able to test it against the Air rush and Purex jumper. I find that i have a lot more control with the propel compared to the other ones, i can also jump a lot closer with my propel.

I'd prefer something with carbon shaft but I know my budget is difficult. Please give me your offers, options.
