I had Schmelke make me up a break cue and I choose a White Diamond tip. It is the same tip I have on a jump cue and I don't like it on my break cue. I am thinking about putting a hard Black Kamui on it that is in my tip box. It is a dedicated breaker and not a jumper. It has what they call...

maybe Ken Shuman and Allison Fisher would work for me. Ken is a walking encyclopedia of the pool games.

Me thinks... Owners should decide on what's allowed to be posted. One thing about "politics" and their discussions is it can be very revealing as to what kind of a person one is, what their core values and beliefs are and whether they love his great nation and our Constitution. On the other...

Oh boy... You guys are making me feel dumber then a fence post. What the heck is front and back hand English? Must be something I been doing for years and didn't know I was doing.

The SD Kid Shane is a smart guy and has built a lasting pool legacy.. I hope he can walk away when he wants to and enter a tournament when he is bored or feeling on fire. A fella can fish for a long time and as long as he stays away from tournament fishing it should always be fun for him...

Me thinks Every time I watch a match JJ is comentating on I learn soething about pool. He is easy to listen to, knows pool and can explain it. JJ needs to think bigger. He needs to look at Morgan Freeman and Sam Eliot and all the exposure and money they have made with just their voice...

Chang & Predator? It looks like Chang Jun Lin uses a Predator carbon fiber shaft.

Wooden shafts I like wooden shafts and own three Diveny Lake Salvage shafts and one of his Kiel Wood shafts. The Lake Salvage seem to give a stiffer hit for me. That OB shaft has my interest as I like hitting balls with other shafts, but so far I have found nothing else I want to change to in...

Good question Like you, I am often interested in what others use for cues, tips, tables, etc. and lots of players on this forum have wisdom to share. Obviously it always comes down to the shooters preference after some time gaining experience. I seem to prefer a medium tip. But, I don't...

Kamui at my place One of them plays pool on my home table and I am still cleaning the chalky spots off of the Simonis 860 HR cloth. I am going to ask him not to use it at my place. I have Magic Chalk, Blue Diamond, Masters and Silverhook chalk. None of them are close to leaving the mess...

Go away Joe Deleted as I must of offended other members. Not my intent.

Great matches ! I had three Tar Matches before my old computer crashed. Shane & Alex, Shane & Efren and Shane & Dennis. The beat down Shane gave Dennis in the 10 Ball match was brutal, to his credit, Dennis showed up each day and took the beating. Had to hurt. Alex has that never ever...

me do this. "Real King Cobra" gave me some hints for my Simonis 860 HR cloth and I have been following his instructions for a few years now with good results. Like others have said, hot water and Woolite works. I buy a bundle of the white micro fleece towels from Home Depot or OReileys. The...

U be right Stu "Wow, you must have a lot of time to kill. I would consider one race to forty in scotch doubles an ultra-marathon. I just read my post again Stu. What was I thinking, one race to 40 would be a long one, let alone a best of 7. I can see why I should never be a tournament director.

Diveney did About 5 years or so ago Pat Diveney cut me a heck of a deal on a Lake Salvage shaft that he said he would not be able to sell because of the imperfect looking color in one place. So he made it into a 30" break shaft for my Ebony break cue he was making for me. About a year later...
