    Predator shaft Q

    I had a ferrule crack (2000) and it was replaced free. I gave it to the Predator rep at the Valley Forge Expo and they mailed me a new one in under 2 weeks. That said I now have a spare 314 shaft because I'm so hooked on them. Paul Mon

    What was your first cue?

    Did it look like the top cue in this picture? I bought mine in 1975 for $50 with a case. Mine actually plays well. I removed the weights and shortened the thread in the third section. This came in handy when a shorter cue was need at bars with interfering walls or for jump shots. This was...

    Moving poles in a basement

    I did it I've posted this about 5 times now. The pole was removed in 1998. I was able to remove the pole by adding another support beam. The existing poles in my basement were about 9' apart. The existing beam was a 5" x 8' (18) meaning it weighed 18 lb./foot. The new beam was 5" x 8"...

    Taking pictures at tournaments OK?

    Most of the latest (digital) cameras have a setting where there is no flash, no noise. On my camera it is called the museum mode. Paul Mon~~~~Kodak employee for over 33 years

    Ball Cleaners and other Home Accessories

    The pool hall I frequent clean and polish their Aramith balls every day. They skid alot. Playing there you'll have the object ball skid about once every 100 shots or so. Playing 14.1 it might happen more often as there are many close slow shots playing straight pool, ie. the chalk is staying...

    the hit of a balabushka, scruggs, szamboti, etc.

    Fred, While Thiery may be they only one doing it to cue joints, injection molds have used "tapered interlocks" for at least 30 years. I have a DME (Detroit Mold Engineering) catalog from 1975 that offers them in a few different sizes. I think that cue makers and cue making has lagged...

    Is the SuperBilliardsExpo really that great?

    Is the SuperBilliardsExpo really that great? Yes it is. Is it better than DCC? Depends on what you're looking to do. There are definitely more vendors at VF. The rooms are overpriced at VF. The action is nonstop at DCC. It is easier find a table to play pool (9' Diamonds) at DCC any time...

    Way to go, Williebetmore and AZ

    Tap Tap Tap Don (aka Willebetmore) did a tremendous job organizing and executing all details around making the AZ room a huge success. The best part is that he seems to get it right and make everyone happy at the same time. I wouldn't change a thing next year, except for another table. The...

    Food At The Derby

    Food at DCC I must be the exception. I had the buffet on Thursday and Friday evening. Fridays was exceptional, seafood chowder, crabcakes and fried catfish. Pecan pie and chocolate cake were also great. Thursdays pulled pork and chicken (some kind of cream sauce) was also well worth the...

    any one no a good way to move a pole???

    How to remove a basement pole I was able to remove the pole by adding another support beam. The existing poles in my basement were about 9' apart. The existing beam was a 5" x 8' (18) meaning it weighed 18 lb./foot. The new beam was 5" x 8" (21), it deflected much less than the original. I...
