It's not just the size but shaping the sides as well to at least a perfect circle. I previously used a box cutter and a sand paper for cutting and shaping and a tip tool. It's annoying. Right now I'm using a small Dremel as advised from a fellow member. It's much better and faster than a having...

the next thing you know, everyone is doing it.

With mostly everything done now with machine programming even with cue building, there is no logic why a tip couldn't have the same treatment. I can only say that they are doing that on purpose so that there is money that can be made with having your tip serviced. Installation, treatment...

You'll never know how much that amount can afford.

This sounds like a Korean BBQ restaurant joke. You cook it, you cook it, you cook it. 😂

yep. I might consider it further down the line. so far, I'm liking the Ultraskins and Tigers a lot as of the moment.

interesting tips. any issues with miscuing with high offset shots with the hard?

congratulations on hitting your 40s. get yourself ready for a world of pain. anyhow, welcome back. same as you, I just came back to playing again consistently last spring after around 15 years of absence. for me, I just started again with just a plain house cue since I don't have my old cue...

same. my limit as well. found myself a builder among the 5 (3 initially) selected. I already got one Amboyna Burl build from him from his inventory and decided to get a new build according to my specifications. a few tweaks were made along the way due to availability and cost. atleast 2 of the...

I believe that KW is not as mainstream yet compared to CF. as of the moment, CF shafts seem to find a bearing to the pool community after it was introduced a couple of years ago. I have no idea when KW came out but I believe it a newer than CF but older than the hybrid stuff we have right now? I...

not necessarily a pro. but us typical pool players differ in preferences as well. a fellow player for example asked me how I could stroke the CB effortlessly and draw with impunity. he got so interested into copying on what I do that he considered or think it was the equipment that I'm using. he...

Carbon fiber shafts also vary in weight and performance. I believe Rhino has multiple grade of CF shafts but I'm not sure how true is the so called difference. Metrics is pretty subjective though in my opinion and what are the determining factors that could contribute to better LD. Tip...

of course. I believe what he was basically trying to say that it is not a common wood shaft.

played on this table last sunday. table was low for my liking. the table was in a sorry state. cloth was dirty and never managed properly. traces of stain and never once been atleast cleaned. I played decent on this table initially and won a string of games but then got into the worst possible...

what table is this? looks like a legacy to me.
