WOW, sorry to hear AZ allows people like this Rob.M to even speak! Absolutely nothing could be further from reality. Rail profiles vary on manufacturer. Nose height, undercut pitch, leading arc of rubber and other variables. Even the rail core AND the core angle are factors. I recommend AZ...

Duh NO disrespect intended, but you give ZERO details bout the table. They matter! This reads like "hey guys., I have car to sell, whats it worth" - duh

NEW cue, never chalked. One of 6 (13mm tip, 19 oz ) Lists for $1195. Will sacrifice for $880. Contact bobsbilliards@yahoo.com for pics. shom-224. SORRY, THIS CUE HAS BEEN SOLD !

Can someone please tell me EXACTLY how to list a cue for sale and WHERE on here it is ?

lol, Yes, you're just imagining it.

Joint Design Correct, No discussion of joint construction is complete without the subject of the pin itself. If you notice, virtually 95% of custom cue makers use a radial, or a 3/8x10 (or11etc). This is NOT a co-incidence. A good, stout pin is absolutely necessary for the proper transfer of...

practiCe Have you considered practicing the art of spelling ? Not as enjoyable as billiards, but will undoubtedly get you further in life.

R-6 First off, I wonder, given you're in Wisconsin- why not take it directly to them and ask ? Your time frame seems right given that ferrule looks like it's Micarta but is that the original wrap ? If not, that's not going to be in your favor. As for value, there's 2 separate perspectives. 1)...

Speedi is right on the money. Official BCA specs are a bed height of no less than 29.25" to no more than 31"

radial pins Why are there so many questions about radial vs piloted radial vs this or that radial ? The very structural nature of a standard radial pin is sound. Have you guys forgotten how marketing in America works ? If it's not 'new and improved' every 3 weeks, Americans won't buy it. Most...

Radial pin The post by Tommy B was mostly correct. The radial pins from China are not interchangeable with American radials. One objection though is the statement that 'radius' is half a circle. It is not. the geometric term radius refers to 1/2 of a given diameter. Diameters are straight lines...

Pin Sizes NO, a McDermott uses a standard 3/8x10 pin, (they did put out a small line using a quick release for about a year a while back but quickly saw the error of their ways). You're correct that Dale Perry does use a radial pin. However, the American radial and an import radial are not...

TO iapoolguy : The word different is spell that way - It's NOT differant

Yes, the difference does lie in the joint. However, when choosing, consider the fact that the 'quick release' is one of the absolute worst designs ever from a structural stability reference. It does not allow the shock wave to transfer as smoothly through the cue as other methods do. Hit (if...

If you've checked around enough, you probably heard that the best-most consistent -production cue made today is a Schon. I wholeheartedly agree.
