    Break tip suggestions

    Ok, that would definitely not be something I want happening in the middle of a match, but what I'm trying to figure out is why you're still the only one with anything bad to say. Not to discredit you, i'm no expert believe me. However, I do like to look into things before I purchase something...

    Break tip suggestions

    Because Renfro has been silent all day I've done a little bit more digging in my spare time on Taom tips. Now, the general opinion is that they appear to be made out of some kind of plastic ( I have no idea, I've never gotten to physically look at or touch one yet) Most suggest that it is...

    Break tip suggestions

    Show me some proof that they explode and I'll buy your tip. This is the 2nd time I've seen you post something of this nature and I've looked. I cannot find any evidence these tips self destruct.

    Where can I buy them at? I've read about them in another thread but couldn't find anything on them.

    First timer seeks advice on trimming tips

    I've done a few more tips since the original post, I've tried some of the tips that were given on here I can't thank you all enough for the suggestions. However, the thing that made the most different to me so far is changing the hand in which I hold the blade, and the direction I'm cutting...

    Break tip suggestions

    I've had a Predator BK3 for about a year now, and I'm interested in replacing the factory phenolic tip with something else. Many people seem to refer to samsara and white diamond on these forums. I was wondering if there were any other suggestions to consider? right now I'm leaning towards...

    Porper cutrite

    Has anyone else had a problem with using the cut rite on a layered cue tip? I recently installed an ultraskin VS on my OB130 and it seems like the tip is too thick for the cut rite to trim all of it even with the ferrule. I end up with a little lip about the thickness of a nickel right infront...

    First timer seeks advice on trimming tips

    I would have to agree. Cammel8 those are definitely some worth while tricks. Currently my setup does not have a compound I'm going solely with a small piece of aluminum bolted to the ways to rest the blade of a razor knife on to help steady it while trimming. I haven't figured out how to make a...

    First timer seeks advice on trimming tips

    Thanks everyone, I'll definitely give some of these suggestions a try and see how it goes. I think the main issue is that I wasn't running fast enough and I was using a cheap blade. that's just a guess until I get back to it in the morning. Again thank you for the replies.

    First timer seeks advice on trimming tips

    Working as a machinist I have a good understanding of how a lathe works, however I do not have the money to spend to just buy a cue lathe. So I did some research and I jury rigged one that would suffice for simple things like shaft cleaning, tip replacements etc. I've watched enough videos and...

    Prices on a mezz wx900

    I'm currently playing with an OB130 and i love this cue, I've recently discovered though that I do prefer a more firm crisp feel. I bought the cue second hand so I didn't have much choice on shafts, it came with the original OBII. I like the way the cue plays, don't get me wrong, it is great no...

    Looking for a price estimate on linen wrap and butt cap repair on an OB130

    So, long story short it's about 10pm eastern time and I have a few friends over shooting in my basement and the wrap on my cue lets go. So, after doing some searching there is no one in my area that does wrap repairs. Many willing to replace the tip or whatever. So I'm looking for someone I...

    Looking for a predator P3bn or P3LBN

    I'm very interested in the predator p3 series and the two cues that I like the most from that collection are the P3BN or the P3LBN. I'm just price shopping at the moment so if anyone has one that's new, or very well taken care of used I'd like to see what your price is. I also have an OB130...

    I have a BK3, is it possible to have a sport wrap put on it?

    I bought a BK3 off of here right about the time they were released. It has the typical high gloss black finish and I'm interested in the rubber grip for it. Is it even possible to have the sport grip added at this point or do I have to buy a whole new setup? If it is doable what sort of price...

    Cleaning an Irish linen wrap

    I am a little bit obsessive when it comes to keeping my cues pristine looking. My shafts all feel like glass and I am sure to wipe them down with some sort of rag or a magic eraser before and after play. Every now and then I'll take something like a pledge wipe for the butt end of my cue just to...

    Good starter set player/breaker for cheap

    I have a McDermott G201 and the Stinger NG01 jump/break cue. Together they retail for about 450. I'm asking 250 for them since they are lightly used but still in perfect condition. The G201 has a Kamuii black Medium tip and comes with a set of the McDermott cloverleaf logo joint protectors and...

    Jester G10 assault jump/break

    I might have to look into getting one then. I've got a couple older cues I could sell and get close to what i need to pay for it.

    Looking for a cheap 3/8x10 pin shaft.

    I don't want anything fancy, just a classic maple 3/8x10 shaft to go on an old butt for someone on my league team. Must be straight, used is ok as long as it's in good condition.
