    Looking for CueSilk alternative - Biosilk?

    Russ, I checked my bottle of bio silk that I use on my cues and it has " silk therapy" on the label. And yes, it smells the same and feels the same as cue silk.

    Does this ad bother you?

    Finally getting to scratch the itch (South West)

    Simple, A lot of us really like they way they hit and feel that they are some of the best playing cues made. Frankly, I feel the build quality of the cue I got from them was excellent. They also hold their value as well or better than most any cue.
