I believe Mike is offering kits for this process, but I'll let him reply. He generally watches this forum.

Just thought I'd drop a quick review of the Shaft Freeze that Mike Gulyassy is offering out of his shop (see link). http://www.babysproshop.com/shaft_freeze.htm First of all, it took less than a week to turn around. The price is about $70. You pay him $60 for the process and return...

Wow I'm surprised that with all of the users of this forum, no one has experience with this cue. Any have alternatives for under $100?

I have a young friend with limited funds that is considering purchasing a Panther J/B sight unseen. Anyone have experience with these? He's looking for a J/B under $100. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I'm in the same boat as far as the early rising and league (no diabetes). I prefer not to have caffine in the pm because it keeps me awake at night. So when I'm feeling especially wiped out, I'll do some stretching and walking around to get the blood moving a bit. If that's not working, I...

I've been putting on my own layerd tips for years. I do not have a lathe. I've had tips put on while I was at tournaments by someone with a lathe, and I honestly I don't notice any difference once it's shaped and scuffed. Certainly you want someone who has experience doing tips to take care...

Mike, So if I read your website info correctly, you're charging $40 per shaft. Do you need a $25 money order for shipping as well? Either way, I'll be send you a shaft this Friday.

I have one of Mike's new J/B shafts. It has the slickest feel I've ever used. I use it quite a bit, and I haven't noticed any need to clean the shaft (backing up Mike's claim that chalk and dirt doesn't get into the wood). I am certainly interested in getting my existing shafts treated. Will...

Why did the TD disqualify him? If everything was still within the limit of the rules, it seems like an easy call to let the match go on as scheduled.

Certainly an interesting concept. It appears to be more like straight pool scoring. Also, defensive shots seem to only be for the "breaking" player to defend from points being scored. Whereas the non-breaking player would opt for ball count. I think the system would be better for 9-ball than...

Will the season finale be captured on propoolvideo.com?

Sweet cue Congrats on your cue. I have a Gulyassy J/B and absolutely love it. I tried and passed up several other known J/Bs.

I was thinking my story was more like a country song, but I forgot to mention Willie Nelson, trains, momma, pickup trucks, etc.

Dear Maxim Billiards forum, I don't usually write letters like this, but I just have to tell you about my extra special matchup last night. It all began when the Sweedish gymnastic team came to our local pool room. ;)

I had one of the worst matches of my life last night. It started ok, but quickly took a bad turn. And even when it did, I was in denial for time. I matched up with a guy I normally beat, but we're usually competitive; a good test of skill and nerve. I break the first 8-ball rack cleanly, and...
