I like this idea. Do like they do in golf, when you lift you head during your swing...tie one end to the keys, the other to your winky :eek:. You'll know right away if your keys are still in the car when you get out. Just don't forget to disconnect from your winky when you put the keys in...

I'm going to watch this thread...I can not really figure out why you would need two shafts to play two different games. I can understand a break cue or even shaft. I have two shafts for my cues...I carry two players with two shafts each and alternate cues and shafts with each match, that way I...

I believe its a foul...any contact with the tip of the cue (with in a forward motion) is a foul, even behind the line. But I think the incoming player has a choice, shoot it where it lies, break himself or allow the original player to break....I think. L8R...Ken

From Pat Diveney Has G-10 Radial pin. Good shooting cue. ISPA 15th Annual tribute cue. L8R...Ken

I think I remember when you first posted that cue. I am still wondering how long it took you to find a straight piece of elk horn that long. Or can you somehow straighten it? Look like a future project for me...only maybe with some native Iowa Black Walnut and Osage Orange with Iowa Deer...

I made a new shaft for my son the other day when I realized I didn't have any ferrules on hand. I had a Deer Antler laying around so I cut a piece off, cored it and machined it down to make a ferrule. It seems to work just fine, had a different look (kinda grayish with some darker grainy...

correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an aid such as this be illegal in a tournament format? I know you can't carry around an instruction book as a reference while shooting, i'd be the same thing. Sounds like a good practice device though. Teaches you the angles before you shoot the shot, that...

To start with, I have never played in the BCAPL National Tournaments let alone the Seniors event. I have played in two State level Tournaments (Iowa VNEA and ISPA) in the Senior events. They both have similar rules to what you have describbed. I was part of the original group that created the...

I've been using Dycot Shooting Glasses for many years now. I had my Eye Doc write a perscription for a distance from 3 to 10 feet. They work very well. I only use them when I shoot pool and carry them in my cue case. These Dycot galsses are made for trap and skeet shooter. They ride very...

Great pics and it really nice that every photo had a caption. Nice to match face with name. Thanks, I really enjoyed the slide show. Sure looked like a lot of thinking going on. The model for 'The Thinker' must have been contemplating his next one-pocket shot. L8R...Ken

Nnniiiccceee Nice looker. I'd bet it hits just as good as it looks too. I really love those 'Old School' cues. Thanks for the look...Ken

Thanks guys...that's exactly what I did...drilled out the center then used the tap to clean the threads. Seems to have worked really well, had no problem at all putting the shaft on the cue. rhncue...I was not aware that Gorilla Glue was not good to use on metals. I have used it a few other...

Oh yeah, I remember that now. But I'll stick with my post. And I bet you do like saying that :thumbup:...I know I would. L8R...Ken

Last night I used Gorilla Glue (good stuff) to glue up an insert into a new shaft. As you all know, it foamed up pretty good as it should have. But it filled the inside of the insert. What is the best way to remove the dried foam from the threads? I thought of using a tap to cut the foam out...

Just my Opinion I think I understand both arguements being made here and I agree with both sides. However, IMHO, if you intend on using you 'Gus' as a daily or at least frequent player, I don't see the harm in replacing the wrap with something you are more comfortable with (e.g. replace linen...

I wonder if the exchange rate is like 10:1...as in 3 Canadian + 30 US. :embarrassed2: A race to three seems pretty short to me too. Might make for some pretty good woofing though, for a few minutes anyway. L8R..Ken

After you miss... There you go Merry Christmas I've never shot that bad in my life That was the worst game of my life L8R...Ken

This was a good thread. I learned some new stuff. The Sherline sharpening article was excellent...thanks for the link. I just purchased some HSS bits and used my disk sander (80 grit) and stone to sharpen them up. The Sherline article helped a lot. Now I have some sharp bits. Thanks to...

When I break and run...man, this game is easy...with a big smile getting ready to break again. When my opponent breaks and runs...man, this game must be easier than it looks...shaking my head as I'm racking. L8R...Ken

8-ball straight back...or...8-ball cross side. Either is a good way to end a game. L8R...Ken
