Are they any good schools or instructors in the Southern California area? I am in Palm Springs.. Or are any Instructors planning some in my area?

I would have to travel to LA to get that done and I am not up to all that traffic. There is no one locally that I know of that can do that work for me.

Thanks so much for the info. I have looked at the J&J but I cannot find it anywhere with the option for the tip, other than phenolic. Does anyone have an idea on where I can get one with a different tip?

I am in the market for a new break or break/jump cue. I have researched on here and google and am still at a loss. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Fury JB, Poison VXJB, and the Tiger Icebreaker 2 JB. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I had also considered the Pechauer Break, OB...

San Dimas is not that far. I will try to check with him. THX.. I did not know that you could do that with Seyberts. I will look in to that as well. I do not mind shipping it if they do a good job. No Pool Hall nearby that I know of. Kind of sad. LOL.. Thanks everyone..

Are there any recommendations of someone I could ship my shaft or shafts to that does a good job with a decent turn around time..? Or should I run into LA or San Diego and find someone there to have this done?

I want to get my J/b cue tip replaced with a Samsara J/B tip. I live in So-Cal in Palm Springs. Where could I go or send my Break Cue to get this done right with a decent turn around time? I have no problem paying for whatever this may cost. I just want to make sure it gets done right.

Yeah that is a good selling point. The I-2 or I-3 are what I have been swaying towards. ArizonaPete I see you are in the same area as I am. I am in Palm Springs. Where do you shoot at around here? I have not been able to find a hall or shop or anything.

I have searched and read all I can on shafts on here and realize that everyone has different opinions. Just thought you all could help out. I am looking to get a Low Deflection shaft and cannot decide on which one I should get. I am looking at the Mcdermott I2, I3, OB Classic Pro, OB-2 and...

Thanks Dave. There are no pool halls here in the Valley that I have been told. The same friend told me there is one but he said you need to be able to speak spanish to be able to go and he is Latino and does not speak spanish. In Southern California here. Anyway, maybe I will hit you up on that...

:rotflmao1: I hear ya! I do thank you for all the Info. You have been a lot of help. :thumbup:

:angry: I am a sucker I guess. Putting faster felt on there, just so I had something to practice on at home till I got some better, would be a waste? Right now I am in a pool league and am playing on bar tables. I eventually want to start playing in some tournaments but that could be a year...

@ dontlitethat Cosmetically there are places where the table is scratched and chipped. It is missing the door to ball return area and the ball return does not work like its supposed to, all the balls go to one area in the middle. Will try to get some pics in a bit. @mreightball it seems to be...

I bought a old US Billiards Coin Op 7 ft table used off someone for $300. The Slate is in great shape but the table itself is not in the greatest of shape. Is there anywhere I can buy a table with out slate and then use the slate from the used table I bought? I have searched on here and through...
