    old growth shafts ????

    I cleaned an old growth shaft in Minnesota this weekend. It was probably the whippiest shaft I have ever worked on. Had about an inch and a half movement to it! I also handled a 80 growth ring count shaft(THATS RIGHT 80 PER INCH) which was very stiff. I guess I was floored by the whippy one...

    Pin Question

    Hello I have a friend who has an original Sledgehammer jump break. In his frustration one night the shaft ended up in four pieces. I was thinking it had a 3/8x10 pin but it does not. Does anybody know the original tap that was used? Thanks

    Mobile Cue Repair:

    My recommendation is contact a couple of those sports bars that have alot of league players and tell the owner you will grease them 20% for checking the cue in and out to the customer. Simply post a list of your services and provide a few work tags to the bar. Maybe make them up a shaft holder...

    Mobile Cue Repair:

    Cuesmith Deluxe. My question is why the mobility? If you plan on going to events plan on paying a booth fee. Parking that outside an event would probably PO alot of other vendors including the ones that set up the pool tables for events. I think it would also limit your traffic as most...

    A Billiard Short Story

    Click, click, and click, the hallowed echoing of the click of the balls. Today that sound is hard to find. Pool halls don’t have the sixteen foot ceilings like they used to. Drop pockets seem like they simply don’t exist anymore. The smoky haze streaming through the incandescent lights above...

    Need collet for thinner shafts

    collet I use flexible hosing about and inch and a half long. I make a slice lengthwise so it will expand to the width of the shaft. Available at ACE Hardware, inexpensive and they have various sizes. Just experiment with it.

    Best glue for tips??

    Locktite Professional. I prefer the thin CA so it can penetrate the leather to provide a deeper bond. That way you don't have simply a glueline holding the tip on.

    so much for the custom cue.....

    You sound a little peeved off. I have no problems with Lucasi's, McDermotts or most of the reputable production line cues. I suppose if you spend $1500 on an entry level Bender or Cog your investment may retain its value with the possibilty of it appreciating. I don't think I could say the...

    REAL Helmstetter cues?

    My understanding is that Miki(name of Japanese company) that originally made Adams bought the rights to Balabushka, Helmstetter, etc. Miki also makes Mezz cues today. I believe Mr Helmstetter actually took his designing genuis and applied it to the golf industry and is heavily involved in some...
