I'm trying to start a local league, and I want to set up a point system for every tournament, and have a player's ranking system for overall performance. Any documentation on this subject? Thanks,

Hercek with ivory butt That's crazy, if I owned a Hercek, it would be in my safe. I try to stay away for ivory butt in a playing cue, too easy to crack if not careful. But I really wonder how the ivory butt rings will be.

I'm thinking of getting a new playing cue: Hoppe style with ivory ring, with bumper. Did anyone have problems with ivory ring crack? I know ivory butt cracks easy. Thanks,

I don't think there's any finish, what can I do to prevent further cracking? baby oil?

I've read that metal trim rings tend to expand with temperature change, and will poke through the finish, then does metal rings serve any real purpose? Do they add to playability or it's merely an aesthetic feature. There are lots of fancy cues with huge amount of silver, gold inlays, won't...

Thank you I feel more confident to buy a cue with ivory joint/ferrule. my sculpture is from Africa, so it probably wasn't seasoned properly. The antique dealer that sold me this sculpture told me that I don't need to rub it with any baby/mineral oil, is this true? Doesn't oil protects the...

I've read a lot on this forum, and I still don't understand this matter perfectly. I have an 5 inch ivory sculpture, which has cracked in many places just by sitting on my shelf. Now how is an ivory joint going to stand all that force of hitting the balls, and not crack? Is it because of its...

How to clean it? What do you use to clean ivory joint? slightly wet paper towel? Can you condition it with any kind of oil(olive oil, baby oil etc)? I have an ivory sculpture, size of a coke can, and I don't know how to clean it, and it started to crack a little. Thanks,

green ivory? Does the age of the ivory matter for joint? I know that if you want to use it for butt cap, you need ivory that's at least 15-20 years old, otherwise, it will crack. Is this true with joints?

temperature change Let's say if outside temperature is -13 and indoor temperature is 80. if I let my cue adjust for 20 minutes, is it enough? the difference in temperature is quite huge, is this temperature change alone able to damage the ivory? Thanks.

I was hoping my next cue will have ivory joint, and I'll use it as my playing cue. Is ivory joint going to crack? A friend told me that it's just a matter of time before it cracks or warps, is this always the case? I will make sure that the cue won't go through drastic temperature changes, and...

Good morning bump Bump to the top.

I'm shopping for a John Davis blank conversion, please pm pictures and prices. Thank you.

Bump Thanks for the PMs. Bump.

Looking for a full splice with soft feel, maybe ivory joint/ferrule, G10. Unless there's something that hits softer than this, that's not wood-to-wood. My budget is not very high, so I don't know what I'll be able to get. If you have any available, please pm me. Thank you,
