I did most of my gambling in bars and always knew where to put the cue so I could find it. Bars seemed to always have someone that wants to play cheap.

A friend of mine made me a cb shaft and put a really hard tip on it. I paid him for it and later sold it because someone wanted it. With a softer tip I would have kept it but at the time I couldn't find anyone to tip the thing, so I let it go. I did not like the hard tip and stiff shaft combo at...

In theory they have less deflection until you have to crank it up. Then you have somewhat of a conundrum.

I think I've play with everything out there at one time or another. I had a member here make me a light butt to try out. Its a stick non-cored and a 3/8 x 10 pin. Hits better than anything I've ever played with and I'll never quit using it. Solid wood, no inlays, nothing. Plays amazingly.

For me hit is one thing, but holding chalk is the best thing.

I posted on this once before. I ended up with a poofy tip Elkmaster. So I took a shot glass and poured just enough coffee creamer in it to cover the curvature of the tip and stood it up in the kitchen corner over night. Changed the tip. That tip ended up getting 4 dips eventually and it plays...

I don't understand why he doesn't post it. Can you post it please?

On those things the best thing you can do is accept that you're going to have to make an allowance using side spin and go shoot some shots at different distances and note the different allowances. No one can do that for you, but that is the way to do it no matter how you cue the ball.

Two week soak, use vice grips in a tip tool to a dime to squeeze it down on a medium to soft amount of force, dry for in the tip tool for 3 to 5 days then remove and place on the window sill. Best tip by far. Grippy but not too much. No comparison to a regular Elkmaster. I use whatever Coffee...

That is one if you miss! lol

I keep sending you private messages. Read them.

Do they produce a true medium hardness tip?

I make my own. I've hit with the Outsville Dud though and I liked it. The grippyness of the Elkmaster shines through no matter if its my dud or the Outsville dud. I try not to be too picky about hardness.

The Ultraskin Fire gets hard quickly. Go softer. I still like Elkmaster Medium Milkduds.

Elkmaster Clear for me! Medium Press.
