Thanks for the reply. I do not have a taper bar, just the lathe. I thought it was a tricky one to deal with. Thanks again, Biloxi69

Hi everyone. I need some help/ideas on how to taper a conical shaft. The tip/ferrule size is fine the way it is but 3 inches from the ferrule to 12 needs to be tapered down. I guess it's like converting this conical taper to a pro taper. The guy I'm doing this for complains the shaft is too...

I’ll keep that in mind. Problem is I’m 6’1 and bending down is not too comfortable.

Thanks Texas. I tend to let up when I’m up also. That sometimes come back and bite me in the ass! Then I say to myself “I’ve should play like I’m down”. SMH

Mental Game Just wondering how everyone stay focus and competitive during a match. So much of this game is mental. There are days when I come in with the right mindset and play lights out. When we are playing teams my partner always remind me to KILL and Pedal to the Metal to get us...

Just bought a mid size lathe and looking for a steady rest. A chuck steady rest would be ideal since it can be adjusted to do shaft/butt. Anyone have a spare lying around that wants to get rid of it shoot me a message. Thanks in advance.

Texas, Do you know how much do Starkey charge for a plane Jane carom cue?

14 oz cue?! Didn’t know they make em that light.

Thanks for the input Texas. HomeBrewer, I play in the westbank mostly on weekends when I can get some free time. There are a couple asian pool halls but I mostly go to DaLat. Mostly a hangout for regulars and a karaoke joint. Only 3 tables for straight rail. I currently play with a Kilby...

Hello all. Newbie here. I enjoy playing straight rail carom and want to know what your opinions of what makes a great cue for straight rail. For example, the specs, or if you know a certain brand, hidden gems, and etc. I switched to a lighter cue to have a little more control over the speed...
