How can this be better than my fluorescent shop light?..😄

My table is in an in non air conditioned cabin on a small lake. In July and August the heat and humidity make games less enjoyable. Hard to concentrate when you're sweating.

Hasn't happened yet 🙁

Happy with ultra skin medium so far. 5 months

My grandkids started with the 1 piece dufferin house cues...one was a short cue. When they showed interest and respect for the equipment I let them play with the entry level cuetec( doesn't warp and plays well). The 13 y/o got his own cuetec and case. He is pretty proud of it. The other...

I like mine... quality built and to my specs.

Nice cues...I have a 98-2 and 98-3. The 98-3 looks similar.

Glad you had a good experience. Know what you mean about long shots...at 66 even with glasses distance shots are daunting. I play on an 8 ft table at home. I grew up on a 10 ft snooker table....much easier to transition to a smaller table. Pool hall more enjoyable than playing by yourself.

I have a number of cues, my best are predator 314 circa 1998....but I generally play with a schmelke. Pool dawg has a schmelke for around 100. I have that one and it is a fine cue... Straight and well made. I have 3 Schmelke's and also a flat laminate shaft. Happy with them all.

Have 3 Schmelke's plus a flat laminate shaft, all straight and true. One had the wrong tip. Schmelke made it right. Very happy with the cues and the company.

Case...Joe Proper 2x2 circa 1998 Schmelke bocote break cue 22oz with a hard ultra skin tip. Schmelke playing cue 20 oz with a medium ultra skin tip. Towel, willard dime shaper, bowtie tool, Qwiz and magic chalk.

Probably buy 20-25 Schmelke's keep a couple and give the rest away. My most expensive cue is a 98-3 predator 314. But I generally play with a schmelke that cost around $200. Plenty good enough for me. Too flashy a cue would not be my style.

Yep same cue...it was/is junk. Gene

Worst...Sears 3 pc. Circa 1960's, Terrible feel and the joints were not straight. Best 98-2 Predator 314, still have both.

Gene, from Indiana....66 been playing for 58 years. Grew up with a 10 ft snooker table, didn't know the difference between it and a pool table. Great way to learn. Grandkids are now playing, really fun. My eyes and stroke aren't what they used to be but still enjoying the game. Pool table is at...

My 2 pennies....try replacing tips manually. I am not a craftsman or handy for that matter. Practiced on an old shaft. By the third attempt I was happy with the results. The first two attempts I was not patient enough. Now takes about 30 minutes. Youtube is a great resource.

Mako, ultra skin and g2 all medium

Pool dawg has a schmelke for $100. I think it's the best value I have come across. I have 2 other schmelke cues besides this one. All play well. Check it out. Btw also have predators and cuetecs.
