They usually have some here https://billiardsuperstore.com/cue-cases/?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=175 I have a black/grey 3x5 that I just use for storage at the moment that I got from them ^

Wonder if those would fit in the pockets of my king case. Link to those containers on Amazon? I like that idea

I could see a tan or medium brown leather looking really nice on that, not too figured though, keep it simple. Or white with brown spec linen....probably not a super popular choice but I like linen wraps.

Thanks! It's maybe worth adding that I do have an associates degree in photography from like 25+ years ago. Haven't done any serious photography in decades and don't even currently own a camera outside the one in my iPhone....but I do have a background in it and an understanding of some basic...

Cues are a bit of a weird thing to photograph because, as others have pointed out, they're just very long and skinny and fitting the whole thing in the frame leaves a lot of empty space. I've found that a good neutral background, in this case a soft grey blanket, and a good window on a bright...

Just about 2 years ago now I received this South West Satin cue from Laurie. It's the first and only South West I've ever played. At the time I received it I had been playing with carbon shafts for a little while and mostly stuck with them. Had Predator Revos and then later Jacoby Black v4...

That's really nice! I LOVE my King case but I am a little jealous of that new pocket design, I would love having the full zip pockets on mine

Lately Predator but have also used Kamui and Molinari in the past and they're all pretty similar in quality and longevity for me. I typically have two quality gloves in rotation, that way I can swap in a new one and toss the other in the laundry. Doing that will last me anywhere from 1-2...

A turned down standard shaft will not be as low deflection as a Z3. So if you want that, get a Z3. Turning down a shaft will get it to feel more similar just based on diameter and it will be somewhat lower deflection due to the lower end mass, but not to the degree you'd see by using a Z3.

Leica does! I've been lusting after a Leica MP for years (decades actually), that's about as serious and pro as a film rangefinder can get. You're not gonna be shooting sports or fashion on one probably but great street and journalism camera for someone who desires sticking with film. But I...

I love the simplicity of these satin cues! I've been playing with carbon fiber for a while but every few weeks I'd just get the urge to take out my South West Satin and play with it on the weekend. Well decided to stick with it for a bit and have now used it in a small weekly tourney and my...

Congrats, great news!

Following in Apple podcasts app, look forward to the first episode!

This is my take pretty much as well. I'm not against all ball fouls in general or in theory, but I can just see it being problematic in a league setting and especially in the league I play in where there is no league director or anyone with authority on site during our typical league nights...

One that looks and feels the way you like. I don't think a butt has much or any effect on performance. It does have an effect on feel but that's all personal preference. So whether you like a thick or a thin butt, a forward or more rearward balance, what type of wrap you like, etc. it's all...
