Another very good post from your good self Craig that I agree with totally :) the same as I also agree with the point that bridgwater and Steve (pooltchr) have made :thumbup: As far as cue tip hardness goes, it's as simple as this:- If you like to shoot with lots of english and soft firm...

Hey Guys and Gals :cool: I can't help notice how there are quite a few threads that pop up from time to time, with various stories about the legendary players and hustlers from the early - Mid 20th Century (damn, I feel old saying that lol) and so I couldn't help wondering if Mike or a majority...

Sweeeeet :thumbup: I'm considering on having Pete update both cues a little by:- - Restoring the decorative rings on the player - Make a set of matching JP's for both cues - Install a plain (Smooth) leather wrap - And Maybe give the shafts a very quick clean and refinish. Decision wise...

Inevitz Those Quilted maple and Cocobolo plain janes are awesome sticks :thumbup: Quilted maple always seems like an unusual wood choice for pool cues, but it does look awesome and I Lazzerus pretty much described them to a 'T' :D That is more might sick pair of cue sticks Highlanduh...

Sweeet cue sticks indeed :thumbup: Thanks for posting buddy and hopefully you and any other troops will soon be back home again safe and well, instead of being lumbered out there in that dust bowl dungeon. Willie

Funnily enough, I'm planning to start making a few of these polishers next week :) lol I'll be making one for keeping my own set of centennials cleaned and polished and the other will be for use on the new Pro 9Ball tour that has recently started here in Ireland :) Willie

The 1st, 3rd and last at the bottom of that pic is the kind of leather wrap I prefer, and I'd much prefer a leather wrap to linen since my hands don't sweat much at all, but I do prefer a wrap to be comfortable to hold when shooting and for this, I feel that a good plain leather wrap does that...

Nice one Darrell, I reckon that's gonna be one mighty fine cue stick when it's finished :thumbup: I've been considering the possibility of upgrading the wrap on the player, from linen to a plain leather wrap as they're more comfortable to shoot with, but I'll have to see how the bankroll...

Hey Guys I thought it'd be cool to post a thread for those of us who have cues made Pete Ohman :cool: Playing cue joint collars J/B joint collars Player:- 19.5oz weight 3 13mm single piece shafts to fit a 3/-11 pin Micarta(?) ferrules and 2nd Gen Moori Med tips. J/B:-...

Hey Guys It's been quite a whilst since I've been on AZB forums and to be honest, but I have a slightly complex matter that I'd like to ask you guys about for advice and suggestions because I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this thread in and so, please accept my appologies if...

Steve's Richard Black cue looked pretty awesome :) I know that Steve has an original George Balabushka cue stick at one time that was made for him 2x Dove inlays into an ebony butt sleeve, as it was pictured in one of Steve's books that I had years back :) I also remember that Steve had a...

If I ever had the bankroll and shooting space, I'd happily buy a fully restored Brunswick "Kling" with ball return :thumbup: As far as I'm aware, the pool hall that was used in making "The Hustler", had plenty of these tables and originally, in fact, I'm almost sure that the table that Newman &...

Hey guys :) I would imagine that different shooters will have different preferences as reguards cue tips :) I'd prefer to shoot with a med-soft cue tip, because I find that this gives enough grip on the snowball to use that little extra English at softer speeds to allow for better CB control...
