    What do you feel is the toughest pool game to master, and why

    In my opinion Straight pool and I don't know if anyone has mentioned 3 cushion billiards. The beauty of straight pool is that it is the basis of all games with the exepton of the break like in nine ball.

    New Shaft Finish

    Personallly, I like getting rid of that original clearcoat sealer, as it is on pretty thick in most cases. Once I have broken it off I apply a thinner coat of sealer(zinzer clear shellac thinned down with denatured alcohol) and burnish with 2000 grit and higher. I have a special high viscosity...

    I know that alot of scrathes appear more predominantly after I clean up a ferule with 1000 grit when I have replaced a tip, in fact I clean the ferule first as super glues will burn chalk into the ferule. I would have gotten the scratch out for the customer before giving it back to him but from...
