Hi - I am 71 years old, in good health, and retired. Our kids bought a pool table last Thanksgiving. I played 8 Ball with our 14 year old grandson. I was awful, and he beat me. I had never played pool with a pool cue on a regulation table. In college I played pool on a small table with...

Dan - I'm just an old wood butcher with a table saw. Our kids bought a pool table and installed it in their out-building/garage. The table needed a light. I bought a used recessed kitchen light with four 4' flourescent tubes from a family redecorating their kitchen, 1" x 8" #2 Common pine...

Hi - What do you players recommend to smooth and eliminate a sticky feeling on a graphite shaft? Thanks. Bumpa

Insane - > Thanks for all of the input. Based upon the posts, > my idea sounds cost prohibitive. Don't give up. Where there is a will, there's a way, right? I bought a used HF lathe with no manual, tools, etc., for $50. Mounted it on a cut-down and dadoed 2x10" to fit the base with new...

So is it safe to conclude this cue was made in the 1980s by the National Cue Company, a Chinese firm, and it is a copy of a McDermott? Thanks again. Bumpa ----------- > its a National cue A friend of mine shoot with > the same cue his still has the stickers on it

Thank you all who replied. I appreciate the help. Dumpy is working fine for me, but you probably won't see Bumpa and Dumpy on the pro circuit anytime soon. Bumpa

I recently bought this cue and case. See: [/IMG] [/IMG] http://[/IMG] [/IMG] No decals, filthy, mostly straight, split wood in the bottom of the butt, no tip, and seller rescued it from a dumpster behind a bar. I call it "Dumpy". A good pool cue for a beginner like I am. I glued...
