Who in Los Angeles can do the tip and repair?

I went back and got it. It is shockingly almost absolutely straight. The tip is loose and has a straight wooden peg in it. Who in Los Angeles could replace it with something decent? I want to try to use this as a player. If I don’t like it I’ll just sell it cheap, as it cost next to nothing.

Thanks everyone.

curious what is is: Asian import? Older American? From when? Also wondering if it’s worth buying to play with, or is it just junk. It’s a few $.

Worth buying? Thanks.

Hi. Am in DC for the week. Anyone want to get together to hit a few balls around? Thought I’d check out cues & brews tonight but could somewhere else. Also will be looking to hang Sunday and Monday nights.

I buy drinks.

Ok does anyone want to meet up this evening somewhere? I don’t mind taking an Uber as long as it’s not crazy far.

Hi. I’m in DC through next Friday and am hoping that someone will be willing to hook up to play one evening, or Sunday late afternoon. I’m in navy yard with no car but I do have a transit pass. I’ll be Moving here so hoping to find an home room. I’m only interested in a “players” room. I don’t...

Visiting San Diego tonight and would love to meet for a non-$ friendly game, at OnCue or whatever room is good. Anyone interested in entertaining a fellow AZer? Thanks.

Think your ivory ferrule is "clean"? Think again: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/03/us.african.ivory/index.html The illegal ivory trade is alive and well. How you really know if your cue contributed to the decline of a species, not to mention the violence that organized crime always causes?

I'm going to try to stop by country club later tonight, and probably tomorrow night. I'll be the person you don't recognize.

Any Bostonites care to entertain a traveler who needs a break from the family? I'm in Newton until dec. 1st. Does anyone want to meet up at country club or even boston billiards to play a friendly game of 9ball? I guess I'm a "B"ish player, but I only play maybe once or twice a year...

Hi,. Just wanted to follow-up. Now only did Alex find me a game, he also let me use his cue all night! I went to table steaks and it was very nice - clean, safe-feeling, lots of players, and good food. I met another AZBer (forgot the name - sorry). Thanks again for the guidance.
