    4 cues dinged up by visitors - repair?

    Depends on how many and how bad they are. Dents can be lifted out of shafts with a damp cloth and an iron. Lots of threads on here about various ways to do that, just have to search a little. Sounds like the break cue might be salvageable and worth the time. Some dings can be filled with super...

    What a bunch of whiny modern day internet crap! How many people were able watch Mosconi's "record" run in person? A couple dozen? How many just saw it in a publication later and thought, wow, look what he did? I'm guessing no one talked about the table size, the pocket size, the cloth, whether...

    Maker ID and value question on some older cues

    Agreed. Looking at that shaft with the long ferrule and looks like a 5/16 x 18 pin, I'm thinking it is an old Meucci sneaky.

    Maker ID and value question on some older cues

    I can maybe help you with the Huebler. Pretty sure it's an H11. If the logo is gone it's probably been refinished. If it's clean and straight, I would say you'd be looking at that $400 range for that, give or take.

    I purchased a bulletproof recoil tip (red medium) tip and...

    I put mine on a spare shaft just to try it out and they're not bad at all. Response and hit is just a little different, and I'm not really sure how to describe it. My experience with it tells me I could get used to a synthetic tip and use one long term If I wanted to. I would say give it a run...

    Tip talk

    I have the soft on one of my shafts just to experiment with. I think they're very interesting, and play and hold chalk much better than I expected. The soft hits pretty firm IMO. Maybe they'll be like CF shafts and kind of start taking over the tip market as they get more refined and more...

    Playdhe

    "Gifts for my late wife." If he is a scammer, that's another level of low life right there. He knows "almost nothing about this stuff" but knows the wrap is worn and it's an aftermarket Kamui tip. All seems fishy to me. Hope I'm wrong and he makes good.

    Pool jersey's, love 'em or hate 'em..??

    Watching Melling at the CO Open, he fit the bill here perfectly. Homely shirt and too tight. Making them tuck in shirts is a little strange too. Some of the jerseys and golf style shirts look just fine untucked. It's all ball fouls and if you want to take the risk of being untucked and shirt...

    Minnesota Fats Stroke & Cue tip size?

    Tales change on down the line. I thought he carried them around in his pants pockets to get natural oils on them. Who knows, probably didn't do either of those. 😗

    Interesting that he hung onto his Modelo for the whole interview. :whistle:

    Pool cue identification

    About 10 years ago I found a guy a nice older Joss that he played with for a couple years. He went out to Vegas and came back with one those decal GW's and was showing it to me. When I asked where his Joss was he said he traded it for the GW... and gave a hundo to boot!! 😖

    The song is called Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Stevie did write it and sing it though.

    Preferred Tip Size Pros

    I don't think there is. 13 was about the only option on most cues back then, unless you had them turned down or special ordered. I would think today it varies with all sizes between 11.75 and 12.75 being used the most.

    "HOW Flash" Carbon Fiber Shaft?....

    I know it's a personal taste thing but I've been a wood shaft guy for about 50 years of playing. I picked up Becue with the 12.5 Prime M about a year ago, and love it, best CF I've tried. Took me a while to get used to the LD nature of it but I'm playing great with it now. Super smooth, love the...
