Sandpaper with a 100 and 60 grit.

Same here. Back in the day, I was so mesmerized with the aesthetics of a custom, only because the typical production cues were so below mediocre. Nowadays, you can have a great looking production cue for way less but hits like an amazing cue. Anyway, I would prefer something now less flashy. I...

in any pool room, we always look for that one lucky bar cue.

I believe it's AI.

funny you said that, I wish we've had a better financial adviser. during that time we've talk to some investment firm that was more interested with clients that can shell out 300k with other investment/stock options. we only had a seed money for 10k. if we only had access to info like what we...

Yeah. And Nvidia was worth $4-$8 per share.

Thanks.

Depends on who and how much. It pays to have a referral or let's say sometimes being a local. Some cuemakers can really be picky and won't entertain customers other than their preferred clientele. Is the pricing constant or fixed/same for all cuemakers? I believe we all know the answer to that...

I also got curious with it before I went a different route and went to get a Tiger instead even if it's easier to get a cheaper Cynergy used. I'm good for now as far as shafts go. My next wishlist would be a custom butt for it. Anyway, you can try out the Whyte Carbon and tell us how it is.

truly said. it's like hunting for rare items. the question though is how much are you willing to spend, gain or lose from it. the appraisal value is also difficult to gauge. it's even more difficult now considering seller are trying to maximize profit even for garbage items.

not sure how different the Sniper is from the Onyx, but when I first broke it in, I was miscuing a lot and couldn't do the same stroke I've been doing with the Ultraskin Pro. I scuffed it meticulously just before playing with it again a few days ago. I rarely miscued and have done several draw...

I swear by the Ultraskin tips although not sure how different the Ivory is. I got 3 varieties of the Ultraskin. Med Fire, Super Soft and Pro. Pro is my favorite although I'm using the Tiger Onyx for awhile since it is installed on the Tiger Fortis Pro. the Tiger Onyx plays close to the Med Fire...
