I am interested in both of these tips and curious if anybody has shot with each one of them to give a side-by-side comparison on them? I’m only curious about these two tips.

what could have gone wrong. sending money to some new scheme.
with the person not even giving his full name or any address of a property.
and very little info about what it is.

did anyone here send money. if they did let me know where you play, so i can find you and make a pool game with you. seems to be a smart move.
better yet post it and lots will find you. so you will be in action all the time.

I think that I will go with the original Perimeter Light company for my pool table light once I buy a table in my new home. I would hesitate to buy an Amazon offered light- yes it is cheaper- why? why? --sorry but investing thousands in a table and then paying an electrician to do a correct overhead light install- I would hesitate to just grab any light off Amazon just bc it is much less expensive.

Everyone can choose to do whatever they want- not knocking anyone's personal decision - but after living a long time you learn that cheaper is rarely better, sometimes- but not too often-- especially when an install is involved- for the do it yourselfers- do you really want to end up doing it twice; way before it should need to be done again?

IDK- maybe someone here can firmly attest that an amazon perimeter light is the same or better than the Perimeter light that has been tried and true in the billiard world-- one cost $321 and the original Perimeter nine foot is about double that price-- again WHY?

Hey guys,
I have several old house cues I wanted converted and was told if you cut old maple like that, it will surely warp.
Seemed to go against common sense, if they hadn't warped in 50 years, why would cutting them in half do it??
Is this a bunch of bunk, or is there something to this??
Thanks in advance.

I have to add, I really like this latest batch of Triangle tips I am using for these bar cues. On a recommendation I got from a forum member on here, I got a box of the 15mm ones. Not sure if I got lucky or what but the 15mm ones were much better than the 14mm ones I used previously. Every one used so far has been good and they make great tips for these bar cues. In fact, this batch would be a great tip for any cue.
They are a little more expensive as while the box says 50, there is only 40 tips in a box, but still cheaper as you don't have any bad ones, or at least I didn't.

Fixed up a batch of cues for a bar we go to by our summer place last fall. When I took them, the owner told me to keep a few for my troubles and I chuckled as I told him I didn't need any. Anyway, put new tips on all, replaced some ferrules and cleaned them up a bit. There were 2 out of ten or so that were really straight and while I had done a lot of shaft and tip work, I had never done any joint work and wanted to try it, so as I had some parts to do it, I decided to give it a try with the parts I had. I know it's pretty basic as I didn't put a whole lot of thought in it, and I only had a couple days to finish it before we went back there. Anyway, turned out pretty good, shoots great, and is as straight or straighter than before. The owner was thrilled he had a bunch of cues again and when I showed him the one I made into a two piece he really liked it and told me to keep it, Anyway, I didn't notice any warping.
