Leon is supposed to be making me a cue I ordered last year about this time. I have tried to reach out to him to check in but I am getting no response. Anyone happen to know him or have talked to him recently? Its only been a few days but I'm starting to get concerned. Thanks.

I have 860 because that matches what I play on at leagues. If you go a lot faster at home then you will be off when you play somewhere else. I would stick with standard 860 unless you play on tables regularly that don't use it.

I like the simple brunswicks. It would be nice if there was a place to put my racks and balls when not in use.

That looks nice. Good Job and plenty of storage.

Come on, I know there are some cool ones out there!

I'm a woodworker and I'm looking to make a cool wall rack to hold 8-10 cues, the balls, rack etc. I've seen a few versions but I was hoping you guys had some cool ones. Let me see them

Not to hijack, but does refinishing an older custom cue hurt its collectability or value? I have a first run from a custom maker and want to refinish it if it doesn't hurt its collectability.

My league doesn't seem to have much drama. We all like hanging out together and just playing. I started last fall and they put me at a 4. I had several good nights and shot to a 7 in both 9 ball and 8 ball. I am realistically a low 6 so I then lost for a while until a few weeks later when...

I stopped by Muellers shop today and met with Troy Downey about my cue. I have one of his first cues he made in 1998 so he was nice enough to take me into his shop and look things over. I am contemplating getting a stacked leather wrap and a refinish. I must say he is a truly nice guy and I...

I do play leagues on 7 ft valley tables, but I prefer a nice 8 ft table for home. Only thing I worried about on a used table was taking on someone elses problems like warping and stuff.

I cant find this in the search anywhere. What is the proper angle for U23 rubber.
