I have nothing against CF but to me it has no life to it, it’s like playing with a Rebar steel shaft. No feel to it. Maybe it’s my playing with wood for over 60 years. I’ll stick to my wooden shafts w/an Ivory ferrules, they are like old friends that do everything I want them to.

I use my Jack Justis case everyday but don’t want chalk marks. My local hardware store has a large selection of chair & table leg caps so I bought a fist full of the proper size to use & give away to friends. The caps are playable so they fit a variety of tip sizes & don’t mark up my ivory...

I go to shoot pool not sit around. I no longer do leagues but I practice 18+ hours a week and during a 5+ hour session I never sit down ( or lean against a table - a pet peeve of mine) until I’ve finished ( then I’ll sit at the bar to relax) there are plenty of chairs available & I move them...

Jump cues People that lean / sit on tables Magic Rack 7’ Tables!!! APA

Pool room Thieves 🎱 Having shot pool for over 55 years I thought I’d seen most scams, I was wrong! After a day of practice I was enjoying a cold one while relaxing. I put my 3x6 Jack Justis case w/3 cues & my Aramith ball case w/ Tournament ball set on the bar right in front of me. I looked...

“Wheat” is a weak player that’s ready to be Harvested.

Don’t know exactly who or when but, in mid to late ‘80’s (‘87-‘88?) during the time I was training with Ray Martin, Ray had a Break / Jump Cue built for me. I had been jumping with my playing Joss. Don’t know who made it but I still use it to this day. I did put a Taom tip on it. Great Cue &...

Ray’s talent goes far beyond just playing pool. I’ve been lucky to have spent months (every Saturday) taking private lessons at Ray’s house. He is an amazing teacher his lessons go far beyond just shot making. During that time he was instrumental in developing what was to become the Moscone cup...

Rules for what? Practice? Absolutely no interest in leagues ....Tournaments provide their own balls. You would get additional slide if your just power banging 9 ball.moved on from rotation games years ago. I mainly shoot straight pool and am more concerned with ball cling. Once a month doesn’t...

In 50+ years I’ve used a multitude of cleaners on numerous sets of balls. I now play at a room where the tables get very dirty. My current set of Aramith Duramith Tournament balls are over 3 years old. I’ve come to the conclusion that Aramith knows best what should be used on their balls. I hand...

Couldn’t Agree More‼️

I’ve always used them. Not just to protect all my cues but they also protect my Justus case from the pins wearing holes in it.

Baker’s Billiard Academy in Tampa,FL Established In 1942 it had a rich history of exceptional players & an amazing cue maker Wayne Gunn. Always action to be had any time of day or night. Masters Billiards in Brooksville, FL

I go to a local tobacco store where they sell disposable moisture packs to be used with pipe tobacco. They cost $0.99 and lasts 4-6 weeks. It turns hard when used up & does not leak. Ive used it for years with great success. Hope this helps.
