    Are pawn shops worth it?

    Is it worth it to patrol pawn shops for a possible under-priced quality cue? I suspect they don't deal in many quality cues, and if they do, they probably know what they have. Just curious what other people's experiences are. Follow up question, I haven't ever really followed cue makers much...

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    I arranged to work from home today and have tried calling twice and had to leave a voicemail. It's a small team making a lot of cases, so I get it, but it's a little frustrating.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    I decided to buy the case and a 3 cue claw. If the 5 won't fit, I'll just leave it in my truck and carry it in individually.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    Thank you very much for this feedback. Sadly, for the 3x4, I'm still not sure. I do appreciate the feedback, though.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    I think you're right. I haven't measured mine. The previous question made me go look up the 2-3-4 cue. When the 2 and 3 both said 4x4x4, I looked harder. The size on Amazon may be the package size, not the product size.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    Because me and two other friends on my league team all use the same claw. 1 break cue and one cue each.Also, I believe the 4 cue claw is the same width and depth, it's just shorter in length. Even the 2 or 3 is still likely 6" wide for stability on the table, and that's the dimension of the...

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    Thanks. My job makes it really hard to call during the day. I did send an email on Saturday. Didn't expect a response on the weekend, but, I haven't gotten a response two business days later, so I thought I'd see if anyone else knows.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    From the Amazon link: Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 2 inches ; 3 pounds The case lists the pocket as 18"x 2", but doesn't list the 3rd dimension.

    JB Cases and the 5 cue Claw

    I am looking at buying a JB Case, but, I carry a 5 cue Claw. Can anyone confirm the 2x3 or 3x4 front 18" pocket will fit this Claw?

    Tracking my progress

    Looking for tips for tracking my progress. I'm not finding many tools already out there for this. That leaves me trying to think of ways to make a spreadsheet do some cool, but, difficult or time consuming things. My current thinking is that I will work on several different games I can score...

    Drills or games?

    I'm a fargo 300 player, at the moment (just starting back up after 20 years not playing), so I'm definitely not who you want to hear from. However, I'm in the same boat as you and my current outlook is this: I will get better with time, so long as I spend that time hitting balls with intent. I...

    Starting over, getting better, and playing with glasses

    Thank you for the suggestion. I can't even put drops in my eyes. I involuntarily flinch every time before the drop makes it into my eye. I doubt I could put a contact in or take one out.

    Starting over, getting better, and playing with glasses

    Thank you. I like some of the drills in that video and will probably incorporate them. I didn't understand a word of the Finnish, lol, but I watched. I've never had a pre-shot/approach routine. I have made one up from suggestions and I have been trying to make it a habit on every shot when I do...
