    What is a Shaft Taper?

    IMHO straight tapers are the ferrule is diameter A and it runs straight back to the joint collar. If drawn out this would also be conical. A pro-taper is a distance from the tip back that maintains one diameter for "X" distance. I do not know if that X distance has a min and a max. I think any...

    Facebook issues

    FB is built on for sale "groups". Most of those groups exist because someone got butt hurt in someone else's group. Imagine if everyone on AZ that has had an issue of some sort, said screw it, and started their own board. Oh wait.. there was an army of some sort many years ago.. There are a...

    Unknown cue identification? Any help appreciated.

    I mentioned Huebler because it had some Hubleresque elements. However, the cue is very generic. Keep in mind when you look at a cue, and you start to use shafts, bumpers, butt caps, weight bolts etc as benchmarks... you are making an assumption that they are original. All those parts, even the...

    Advice on selling ivory-inlayed cue.

    Joe balsis pool balls

    After Joe passed, a gentleman named Richard Sluzalis helped her sell off Joe's pool and billiard memorabilia. This set of balls appear to be a set of Raschigs. Nice set of balls and a late 60's ball case is a nice touch. I do not think the balls are that old however. JV
