Viking Kayano cues are beautiful, play great and very fine customer service.

I have a Chinese/Amazon ball cleaner that works fine. No issues and way faster than doing it by hand. I got it on sale for about $130.00. And its $129.00 right now on Amazon and they'll deliver it tomorrow to my house!

Attention Olhausen Physicists: I just had my eight foot Olhausen recovered (Simonis 860) and had the shims changed out to "3/16 60 durometer in order to see if this would reduce the pocket rattle. Changing the shims has made the table play better: 1. The rattles occurring when a ball grazes a...

What a great match and video. Thanks Bob. Question: I grew up in St. Louis on the Mississippi and the table behind the match table looks like a Mississippi River barge! Any ideas of the brand? Thanks.

I’ve bought a number of things from Sunshine over the years. Never had anything but great service.

I had one and it played fine. It got me thinking that changing from wood to CF after 65 years would be a good idea. Bought a Viking Siege shaft for my Viking at it plays fine too. Feels a little better to me; very well balanced and smooth and the tip is better. Do I actually play better with...

Do you recommend 60 durometer 3/16 facings or 70?

I'm going to start getting my cues engraved "Personal" so no one steals them.

What a great and thoughtful answer. Thanks for sharing your views.

Ok let me ask: Chopdoc, approximately how many cues do you own? My wife has the view you need two: one break and one playing cue. She can't understand multiple cue ownership despite my frequent attempts to educate her. Your situation will help mine. Thanks!
