    Been days research cue options. Some questions. Pechauer butt (already have) with Predator Revo shaft? Different butt?

    Find a local cue repair shop and ask to order a revo to fit your butt through them. They will tell you what can be done. Probably the easiest if you are familar with what to order. I like prefer the rogue cf shaft to the revo, and since it is made by pechauer easy to match to your butt. Just...

    Deliberate foul query - 8-ball (and brief tournament experience)

    The rules in the bars around here dont use bih. So they say "make a valid attempt to hit". As long as you try to hit your ball you are fine. Any sort of safety play is frowned on. And they dont require a rail after contact. Play where ball lies. This southern ontario, canada. The local...

    Deliberate foul query - 8-ball (and brief tournament experience)

    This is the question. Common bar rule is no bih and no intentional fouls. Even legal intentional safties are looked down on in a lot of bar pool. If you intentionally fouled knowing no bih, could end in bar fight some places i have been.

    Your 1st Cue, 30 Years Later

    My friend and I use to play in our twenties. Never serious, but loved the game. He worked at the dufferin games room when it was still around and had access to their cue building shop. My first cue was one of those well loved silver leaf ebony/maple full splice with the white flame. I still...

    Best cue under $1000

    I am going to go out on a limb and say mcdermott has some solid offerings at very fair prices under 1k. Their cue of the month series is steal of a price, and a great warranty on mid tier+ cues. April 2024 cue of the month is a very simple, but nice looking cue and the 3/8/10 joint is common...

    Different Types of Cue Construction explained. What's Best?

    Agreed. I have a searing shaft that i use, and someone let me hit a mobley. I want a mobley ever since. There was so much life to the mobley hit. I was dumb founded. Love the searing, but the mobely really fit my game. Now i just need to find one.

    Aggressive chalking strikes again.

    We call them borer's. Since they bore holes in the chalk ;) I have a feeling this fella also has a chalk holder, and the chalk is way below the holder so the holder itself is scratching the shaft. A solid holder, plus chalk rubbing on the shaft coild work like sand paper.

    ANDY CAPP, SNOOKER PLAYER

    A little help with my stroke

    Someone mentioned elevation already. But i noticed you were shooting off the rail with a full closed bridge creating a much higher elevation. Do you normally shoot off the rail like that ? Or was that a one time thing ? Normally people people play off the rail by using the rail and hand...
