    Anyone ever had or heard of a stick made from Pau Trees?

    I used to have a Franklin Southwest made out of Pau Fero. Not a very good looking wood. It was just brown and mostly straight grained.

    Proposed rules for tournament slow play in One Pocket and Banks

    Here's one that is guaranteed to speed up play. You are allowed to chalk the cue one time only between shots. I have seen Dennis O pick up, chalk and put it down again 20 times between shots. :) He'll pickup and chalk, put it down and you think he's going to shoot. Nope then he'll pick it...

    Best event or expo / event to buy a custom cue?

    I went to Super Billiards Expo twice to buy a cue and didn't get one. The first one was pre-covid and was nice. The post covid one was lame! I will never go back. I am looking for somewhere else to go. The last one I went to had limited selection and they wanted stupid money for...

    Cuemakers Taking Orders

    You can place orders with any of them. Who knows you might actually get a cue some day. It will certainly not be what you ordered or something will be screwed up with it. I’ll never do it again. If the cue is not on the table in front of me for get it.

    Recommendation: Pool Table Light ?

    I bought a Littman light a month ago. Haven't heard from them since. I sent them a couple of emails asking about the status of my order. No response. Now their website is down so I can't get a phone number.

    Hole in my ferrule.

    Thanks. I've seen them with a pine hole for glue relief before. Never saw one that big. I filled it in and put a tip on it.

    Hole in my ferrule.

    I have been doing my own tips for many years. Today I ran across something I have never seen before. There is a sizable hole in the end of my ferrule. My first thought is to fill it with glue and go on but I thought I would ask you guys first. Superglue gel, epoxy or just leave it?

    Mezz Avant (Wavy 2) Cue Review

    Crap. I like the wavy joint but they only had united when I bought mine. I really like the custom balancing and the hit is fine. I sam thinking about putting a stack leather wrap on it.

    Who’s bought a diamond at the super billiards expo?

    I just bought a 9 ft ProAm. $8500. Before I did that, I called Brian Miller at Diamond to ask him about deals at the SBE and he said demand is so high they don't offer tournament discounts anymore. The backlog is one year. The local Diamond dealer here in Florida, Crosbys, told me they...

    Went to a remodeled pool hall today, 13.50 per hour?

    When that place first opened pool was free. Players that got into matches were supposed to kickback a portion to the house. The dollar a game and the change machine on the wall came later. I did not understand how that was going to work out. I played there a few times.

    Do you carry your own cue ball to pool halls??

    Yes. I even have a separate case for it that clips onto my cue case. Here's why and how to check it for yourself. Poolroom cueballs are smaller than regulation size. The older the ball, the more it is off. Cueballs get dirtier, more chalk on them, than the rest of the balls. Chalk is...

    Dime Radius or Nickel Radius?

    Penny. Had friend make me a tip file out of PVC with a perfect penny radius. The problem I always had with a dime is it flattens out too much too soon. I was always fooling with it trying to keep it just right. A penny has the arc closer to a dime and maintains its shape far longer...
