    OB Cues question

    Did the old school, original, Royce era OB cues come standard with Uni-Loc joints (or am I just imagining they did)? I'm trying to find a buddy of mine a great "starter" cue, but boy has the Covid supply chain issues hit the pool cue industry hard. I can't find anything decent for a decent...

    Can You Identify This TV Pool Table?

    This is a Pool table most people 45 and older have seen on TV, back when Color TV was new and most markets only had 7 channels. Can you identify the program & setting? BONUS: Can anyone identify the Pool table brand & model? Hope this brought back some cool memories. -Z-

    An App for Improving Your Game?

    Bored while waiting for something recently, I desperately downloaded the 1st Pool app I could find to my phone. It was called "Shooting Ball". It took a while to figure out all it's features, but I found it fun. It allows for specific aim, stroke speed/force as well as cue tip placement on the...

    2+ Years with a REVO Shaft.

    For years I liked Triangle. They're still good tips, but there are too many super premium tips out there to use them anymore. I tend not to do well with hard or soft tips.

    2+ Years with a REVO Shaft.

    So I've had my Revo shaft for a little over 2 years now. Verdict: I'm never going back to wood shafts. No, it doesn't make me shoot like Strickland, Dechaine or Sigel, but there are some great benefits that I love and in my mind, for me, justifies the price. With wood shafts I could only...

    PureX Cue Case: Amazing Quality for the Money

    I wanted to purchase a new case in the 2X4 config. I really wanted a Whitten but didn't want to spend a g-note given recent world events. I looked at all the usual suspects and somehow they all fell short. Then I came across the NEW PureX Cue Cases. It had everything I was looking for. I...
