    Arnot Wadsworth and no delivery.

    my 2 cents For those of you who are considering ordering a cue and concerned over the transaction, it's always a good idea to choose a Cuemaker from the American Cuemaker's Association membership roster. If any problems occur, one just has to call and report the problem. From what I have heard...

    Do jump shots ruin the felt????

    I got my first jump cue recently, and I loved it from the start. But I noticed one thing, every time I jumped it would mark my cloth with a small light smushed spot. I thought It was because I had an old thick slower felt and I didn’t mind it knowing I had plans to recover my tables soon. Well I...

    what can you advise on cloth?

    You can also do a search on Granito cloth in this forum and read quite a bit about it. The only down side I've read about it is, it plays to fast for some players likes. It may just be the cloth for you if thats what you're looking for.
