    Got tips for making tenon by hand?

    I think the method the dentist uses to detect whether a tooth filling is flush with the opposing teeth could work---whatever the hell they do. I tried cutting out a piece of softer paper, put hole in middle, placed over tenon, kept in one position, and pressed and moved ferrule over it. I...

    Paper Veneers

    As a visitor to the Ask the Cuemaker, I am surprised that something as cheap as construction paper is used to enhance expensive and difficult butterfly splices. I just presumed there was nothing approaching a decal/overlay cheapness near a butterfly splice. It appears that cheap can be good.

    Got tips for making tenon by hand?

    Yes, it would. This work isn't really done for customers. It makes little difference to the players that use these cues (this cue happens to already be a little-used shorty --- a one-piece 52" cue). That repair would be more work than what I am doing. Nonetheless, to keep cue length the...

    Got tips for making tenon by hand?

    I am repairing a shaft that had a slip-on ferrule. There was no tenon. I am making a tenon. What advice do you for doing this by hand --- for cutting the shaft to make the tenon, and, especially for ensuring the ferrule placed on the tenon is flush with the shaft? I cut the shaft first by...

    ⚡ ❗ Can AZBilliards’ search program be improved? ⚡ ❗

    I will never use any in-house company search engine again. I will instead use the very good Google search or the even-better-than-that Chat GPT. Chat GPT, however, is spooky---human like.

    Mezz cues commonly used by pros

    What a problem to have . . . . . .

    Decal cues are the best

    Overlays.....The coloring is unlike many cues. The stripes are nice on both Rhino cues but the items on the German cue are hokey:

    Waxing the cue ball? WTF is Kaci talking about now?

    Notes from listening to Robocop's Facebook video 5:20 to end: He recalls incident in about year 2000 where a tournament had balls cleaned and the polishing included waxing the balls. Europeans many years ago dominated pool and used wax a lot. Asian and especially Phillipino players did not but...

    Mezz cues commonly used by pros

    Mezz's website has many players using the Ignite shaft. The only Exceed anything on their website is Exceed EX-Pro. I looked at several Mezz players for the shafts they used and did not see any EX-Pros listed. I did see some Hybrid shafts which preceded the EX-Pro. There is an Exceed...

    Carbon fiber jump cue from Amazon.

    While I was learning how to jump, I bought the inexpensive Little Monster. I could not jump with it and sold it. As I learned how to jump, however, I could jump with my wooden Dufferin and wondered whether the Little Monster is better than I thought.

    I haven't seen many kielwood shafts. It looks great with that butt (rosewood?).

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    Look at the earlier posts regarding the slippery surface on these tips. Why couldn't you make the black pad perfectly flat? I recall simple sanding on maybe 300 sandpaper and seemed OK. Flat to me is the surface is all scuffed up somewhat uniformly. I don't recall a problem with sanding...
