So where all the half moon cracks on the object balls then? I haven't seen a single one.

Nope, it's the break shaft/tip. Hard phenolic tips will do, G10 even more so. The Hammerhead from Outsville doesn't do it, nor will hard leather.

The logo ball and the measles ball don't play the same to me. The logo ball plays more dead. The duramith black logo ball plays even more dead. The centennial blue circle is the best playing cue ball, but I never use it because it's never used anywhere.

For sale is a 4 point cue made by Paul Sumrall. This cue is burl into an ebony nose with a leather wrap. Joint is the good stuff with a 3/8x10 pin. One shaft has an old micarta ferrule at 12.75mm, the other has melamine or similar ferrule at 12.8mm. Both shafts have a slight taper roll, nothing...

Bump......

If Beau still played regularly, he would definitely be Oscar speed. He was beating anyone and everyone in California when he first moved here, Oscar included. If Beau still took pool seriously and put in the time, he would be top 3 in the country. Anyone who knows him and his game knows this to...

Just had my Hunter rewrapped at Tiger Products in Burbank a few weeks ago, and had them put a Sniper on my Revo a week later. They do good work at a fair price.

Pretty common thing to do. Nothing to get your panties in a wad over.

Ginkgo biloba and Ashwaganda. Both are the active ingredients in Cheqio.

Boyes: "got into the cueball"

I have to keep several gloves on hand in my case to swap out due to the black smudges if I'm playing for an extended period of time. I've cleaned the shaft countless times with alcohol. I continue to get black smudges on my glove, and they feel gritty while I'm stroking. I use Meguire's Ultimate...

Stinger 1.75hp shop vac. $35 at Home Depot. Strong enough to suck up chalk and debris, but not so strong the cloth gets stretched. Bought an extra little horsehair brush attachment for it. Works great for cleaning out the car too.

I hate new chalk. I take a nickel and give it a little deeper groove before I use a new piece. Then I apply it to the tip by swiping it across. I like it when it gets broken in. Last thing I would want to do is grind it down to flat again.

Were there brackets posted anywhere online for this?

Ernesto straight up painted his Revo. Looks like regular wood from a distance. He says it plays good.
