Dynamite looking cue, Steve. And you're right about Doug making a player's cue. One of my top picks for great playing. Enjoy. -Howard

I had the same thing happen with an old radial pin shaft. I held the shaft vertical, filled the thread cavity with water, and let it stand for a couple of minutes. I dumped out the water and shook the shaft to get out any remaining drops. After letting the cue dry for two days, it was a bit...

It's easy to see why Steve has been so anxious to get that cue. I really like the touching points. -Howard

Really elegant looking cue, Doug. Nice. -Howard

Right at this moment, my favorite cue is this Doug Patrick sapele/ebony/ivory beauty. See if you can guess why. (more pics)

When my new Gold Crown V was set up, the cloth on the rails was not stretched tight enough. As a result, the rails banked very short. After Donny (SDBilliards) recovered it with the proper tension on the rail cloth, it banks perfectly. An experienced, highly-qualified mechanic should be able to...

I emphatically agree with the OP. Donny reworked my GC V Tourney Ed.and it went from being a so-so table to a Great Table. Thanks again, Donny.

I have both Aramith Tournament and Brunswick Centennials. The Tournament balls stay clean longer, but I much prefer the way the Centennials play; they seem more "lively". I would definitely recommend the Centennials over the Tournament.

A nice Doug Patrick ebony that plays as good as it looks.

No, I haven't had any need to do that. I do have (somewhere) an old cue that has a pretty slick linen wrap on it. I'll find it and try the spray on it, then I'll let you know how it works.

The wrap is not ruined. It is not affected at all. I can remove this stuff in about one minute and the wrap is exactly as before being sprayed. I guess it was a bad idea to note that this product is made from the same stuff used to make a type of glue; that has caused some confusion. The product...

The substance is dry - not wet or tacky. I have had no problems with the wrap picking up case fuzz, bugs, lint, etc.. The additional grip comes from the many thousands of very small bits of the substance adding a little friction. While it feels sticky, it really isn't. If bugs and stuff stuck...

I've seen several threads asking how to make a slick lizard wrap sticky. I recently picked up a great-playing cue that has a lizard wrap so slick that it's like shooting with an icicle. I use a very light grip and the wrap was so slick that I couldn't use the cue at all. I'll probably get the...

Arnot, I got my first Radial pin cue from you more than ten years ago, and have never found a better pin. However, Uni-Loc does have a registrered trademark on the word "Radial" for pins in cues. Here is the United States Patent and Trademark Office document showing the trade mark registration...

I went to the PayPal forum, where a bunch of people have asked about this email. According to the moderators there, it is a valid email. But unless you are using a really old browser, you don't need to do anything - just ignore the email.

Here's an old thread about two American-made radial pins. It might be useful. -Howard

asbani, If your question is directed to me, I offered to send a check to save the man some money, just as I said in my post. I was in no hurry. I hope everyone understands that my post was a description of a very satisfying transaction, just written in a manner to continue with the sometimes...

You have my sympathy, berko, as I recently had a similar experience here. I offered to send a personal check to save the seller some bucks. As soon as my check cleared, he had the nerve to send the cue immediately. As if that wasn't enough to put up with, when I opened the box, I discovered that...

Unfortunately, I wasn't. :angry:

That's why I never stand under a black light. :eek:
