    Case for long jump cue?

    Thanks for the photos guys! I think I'm going to get a JB case, I like the simple looks, functionality, and they seem to be one of the best in terms of protection. Dhintz one more question if you don't mind, did your JB case come with the spacer or did you have to specify you wanted one included?

    Case for long jump cue?

    Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.I had never thought of it, but I guess I could try to fashion some type of spacer and just put it in the regular spot for a butt in the case. But I worry that the spacer may get stuck should I ever need to get it out down the road... rrich1, I think I...

    Case for long jump cue?

    I am looking at picking up a new case and I have a longer than 'normal' three piece jump cue (Predator Air 2) and the butt with both parts together is about 19 inches long. Are there any cases that accommodate these longer jump cues well, or have a spot for them? In my current el cheapo case I...

    Help me choose a tip

    So it has come time to replace the tip on my playing cue and this is the first time I have had to do so, so I was hoping to get some suggestions from those with more experience with a variety of tips. I currently am using what I believe to be a Kamui Original Soft (Brown), I don't know for...

    Shaft Tolerances

    So the other day I was bored and got thinking about tolerances of pool cue construction, and how precisely they are built (yeah, I know, I was pretty darn bored...). So in the interest of science I grabbed a digital caliper and measured the diameter of the tips on three shafts I have and decided...

    where do you guys look for inspiration for times in need

    Good video OP, even though the bodybuilding slant isn't my thing I do value and work at my fitness and understand the time, effort, sacrifice and dedication it takes for that sort of thing. This is one my favorite motivational videos...

    Haha if that were the case I think he would want a little more than $500 for the cue!

    12.75mm Vs 11.75mm Tip

    I would liken it to something I do know much more about, golf clubs. A larger permittee weighted cavity back is going to produce a much better resulting shot when hit slightly off center than a smaller blade iron like the best players in the world use. So as someone who doesn't play at a super...

    12.75mm Vs 11.75mm Tip

    Quick question and I figure this might be a good place to ask. Any truth to the belief that a larger tip will be more forgiving and pocket balls a bit better, and a smaller tip will be less forgiving but be easier to apply more English to the cue ball?

    Jump cue questions/recommendations

    Thanks for the info so far guys, I appreciate it. I am only looking at dedicated jump cues for now, I don't care for break cues with the phelonic tip, for the time being a bar cue is good enough for me. I do have a question though, what is the purpose of the three-piece jump cues like the Jacoby...

    Jump cue questions/recommendations

    Hi there, 1st post so I’m hoping you folks can help me out a bit and this is in the correct section. I’m what I would consider an intermediate player, certainly not great and have no disillusions of greatness, I play in a league where I’m fairly competitive night in night out but by no means...
