Great thread! I never knew all those cues in the movie were McDermott D series. Love those C and D’s.

Why not just send them back to Jack?

A Heli-coil would typically work for these types of repairs, but in this case where you have a threaded rod in a hollow tube you are going to lose some strength in the process. The wall of that tube will be reduced fairly significantly by the time it’s drilled and tapped to accept the insert...

Here is my D-2, I bought it new in 1984 in a shop in Bossier City LA. It’s still in good condition.

Steepletons were great tables back in the day. Our local hall had both Brunswick and Steepleton T-rail tables from the 30's and 40's. The front table was a 1930ish Steepleton with walnut rail caps and bell shaped legs like a Brunswick Kling, and it was an awesome table, other than the pockets...

Thank you sir! And I will work on it!

Thanks!

Tried it today and videoed it, but not too good… 1 for 3. In baseball hitting .333 is good, but it’s not going to win the money in this brutal sport. I’ll work on it. Just gettin out of position too much. The table specs: 9 ft Anniversary with Mark Gregory pro-cut rails (4.5 pockets), 860HR...

Here is a YouTube link to the Miz on Letterman talking a little about his cue.

Yep, I have found mine as well. Thanks Dean Campbell, aka Deano!

I’m not speaking for everyone. I just backed up what MAHA stated in that all these shots can be made fairly easily with varying degrees of low, outside. The only time I would use anything different is if I overrun position and get too straight in. Edit: this is basically a low outside drill.

I haven’t tried it yet, although it’s basically a modified Bert Kinister drill that I have been doing for years. When I get off work tomorrow I’ll give you answer on that %.

You can, just depends on the angle you leave yourself. I think Maha is right, all those shots are basically the same. About a 40 degree angle on each with a different speed on the last ones that need greater distance. My take on these drills is if you are unable to do this runout at a high...

That doesn’t sound too crazy expensive to me.

Great work! Looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
