If the British Museum and restoration specialists internationally use Renaissance Wax to revive and protect furniture, art frames, ivory, etc., it should be ideally suited for use on pool cues, much more so than other commercial products.

Maybe…..maybe not……do you feel lucky?

However, in 8 and 9 ball there is no uncertainty on what ball you have to shoot at next. The only question is which pocket or play safety. Position play is obvious for your next couple of shots if you pocket the OB. In those games, 30 seconds is more than ample amount of time. 8 ball also...

Trob……I am playing for personal enjoyment……but I am paying for my time on the pool table. There is a cash exchange. I am buying my time on the pool table even when playing in a league, tournament ot just casual play. I am entitled to expect that the pace of play will be performed with some...

Slow play in pool is the most annoying thing and is just as aggravating when encountered playing golf. No shot in pool is so difficult you require more than 30 seconds to evaluate how to play it or what to do. If you do rarely encounter a situation requiring more time, take a timeout. There...

I don’t what cue butt you will be matching the KW shaft with and the borrowed shaft fits 3 of my cues. I’m trying to decide which it plays best with and all the butts are within a few grams weight of each other. That also applies to all of the cues in my case. For overall playability, the...

Promote interest and increased participation in 3 cushion billiards. Standardize the rules for all the different recreational leagues and please stop with making slop a legally pocketed OB in 8 ball (APA). At the same time, include 10 ball as a game (8, 9 & 10 ball leagues). Time clock...

Thanks but actually I’m still waiting for my shafts. This one is a loaner but it does fulfill all my requirements. In fact so much so, I changed one of my shafts from 12.75mm to 12.6mm which is this shaft’s size. I am not a fan of 12.4-.5 shafts but 12.6mm is one I’ve never tried before and it’s...

Vincett…….sent you a PM.

Here are photos of my friend’s flat faced KW shaft from the cue maker building my KW shafts. I expect my shaft could even turn out heavier. But 4.01 ozs (12.6mm) shaft that looks this nice would make me very happy. I’m going with a 5/8” ferrule. IMO, this shaft looks as good as any I’ve seen and...

Here are photos of the KW shaft I borrowed from a friend until mine arrive. I am very pleased with this cue maker’s workmanship. The shaft looks and plays every bit as great as I hoped; this shaft is 12.6mm, 3/8x10, 4.01 ozs. I already have a Barnhart roasted maple shaft (12.85mm, 3.81 ozs.) and...

For over a decade, probably a lot longer, I have posted on this website about the weight ratio of cue shafts and cue butts. I challenged others to refute what I wrote about all of the greatest names in cue making used this approach with the cues they built. Just go through the Blue Books of Cues...

I provided the collar diameter of my cue butt.

Allow me to first get the shafts before inserting my foot in mouth like I did with another cue maker earlier this year. They were very confident they could build what I wanted but the proof is always in the pudding. And much to my dismay, last week the first of the shafts I ordered in early...

Wait a minute….if I’m not mistaken, could that be Christian Neil, Lamar Neil’s twin brother, in this photo with Greenleaf?

I ordered two Kielwood shafts last week. I have a KW shaft made by this cue maker that another local player I know loaned me today. I didn’t know he had this shaft until the cue maker told me about a heavy version he made for someone last year in Fresno. I’m now playing with it and it is every...

Got my first one last October; just ordered 2 more last week. I went with a uncored design that’s just wood sans insert.

Hired a cue maker last week to build my KW shafts that will made uncored without any insert. He’s already built shafts like I want made and I got to test drive one of his KW shafts today. He referred me to someone whom he made a KW shaft for and surprisingly, it was someone in my town I already...

I am more than hoping he conquers his cancer. Jeanette Lee has been doing well from recent reports and Mika is just as much as a competitor. He doesn’t know quit and hopefully shows all of us he’s a winner in a lot more than just pool.

I could not agree more…….there would be Cortland linen on every cue I own if I could have found a reliable source.
