Sometimes you see a bank player tap the designated pocket and hold up two or even three fingers, indicating the number of rails.

I do it myself and have watched a lot of videos but the tips sometimes fall off. I use Super Glue gel and coat the tip lightly and let it dry then glue it on. Whatever the opposite of the Magic Touch is that is what I've got.

don't know. I never knew he was here.

Any suggestions? I've run out of people who do a good job replacing tips. Thanks.

This is supposed to be a Joss West owned multiple times by Louie Roberts. Just copied it from another AZB thread. One of my favorites.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a thread showing photos of professional players' pool cues? The current crop isn't that super interesting in general since many/most pro players have modern Predator cues, but I would like to see the pro player cues from earlier days. And even current players cues...

You've got the right name for it for sure. When I come into some mad money I hope to buy one.

Everybody gets to have their own opinion and I respect everyone's. But I have a contrary view of the Viking extension -- I think it's the very best. Beautifully machined out of aluminum and goes on in a few twists. I have a Mezz extension and a McDermott (which screws in through a normal MCD...

I love Vikore shafts; they are my favorite. I played with a Viking Siege and went back to Vikore. I think they are pretty low deflection but play like traditional shafts.
