Gloves run small I have a XL in other gloves I where a large and they are to big. Velcro is on the palm side of glove which catches many things. Not much adjustment range on it either. Thumb material is to short allowing thumb to drag on the shaft when using a closed bridge. Very Disappointed...

We are all looking for the perfect cue with the perfect shaft for that perfect game. I have lots of cues and many shaft for each. The game I play determines the cue and shaft size and tip I use. If have two or more shafts you can change tips on them to experiment so you can improve your game...

I have played for over 39 years.I am not a fan of layered tips. If you use them you must use a sticker chalk because of the hard glue between the leather layers. Most of the newer chalks have a makeup like oil in them that makes it sticks to everything. If you pay more for layered tip then you...

Need some help where do i go to pull up my old threads? Thank you.

Does anyone monitor the chemicals other countries put in the caulk we use? What could be in there--lead for texture--arsenic for color--MEK for a vehicle for smoothness of applying. Is any M.S.D. reports on them. What am I putting on my hands when I pick up the cue ball...
