I remember there were few members pushing Magic chalk on here, most likely had a vested interest. I used it and felt it was not distinguishably better than Masters and not as good as Blue Diamond. Flash forward few years and I have been using Taom, great chalk - noticeable upgrade and cleaner...

noted rules difference: They rack the 8 on the spot, choice of stripes solids after break - so no take what you make like APA. Also cannot combo strip into solid and keep shooting solids, I believe that is a foul.

Tournament Play - know the rules. If tournament states mark pocket of game ball then mark the pocket. Maybe never concede and/or receive a concession - play the game to the end period. My thoughts as a player is I do not expect my opponent to give me a concession and I do not request one...

I would like to see a pic with the cap off the pin

Tiger tips that I have recently used have been great - no issues. The ONYX and SNIPER are the ones I have used.

Rest in Peace

I prefer not to collect a cue if its is not a player.

no that is not what I am saying. Tiger Onyx and Sniper work well w/ CF. For reference you can see what they are putting on their own CF shafts. Darren Appleton also has new tip that they are producing for his line - but I have no experience with those...yet. they are called Nitro - just resently...

at one of the Ultimate Pool Tournaments they were using one for TV table

I have a 30" Tiger Fortis shaft coming to pair with my Tiger cue. will give it a go.

Has anyone seen benefits from going from 29" to 30" shaft length. I am considering a purchase of new shaft and have that option. would be coupled to a standard length butt that is approximately 29".

Old thread might start new one since a lot of new materials on market….specifically carbon fiber. seems MFG and retail sites on web like Seyberts offer shafts at 29 and 30’’ I am contemplating getting a new shaft for a tiger cue I have, so deciding on specs. Am leaning on a tiger LD ‘Fortis‘...

I used to bring that book with me to the pool hall.
