Perhaps a picture of the cue might be helpful

I'm sure those chrome balls play great. Here's the perfect table to put them on.

The next big tournament you're at, bring calipers with you and measure the diameters of 100 shafts, and then you'll see why they don't both making half sizes.

I don't have any personal experience using copper, but Brandon Jacoby made on helluva cue using copper. He named it Montezuma. It won cue of the year in 2009.

There are a bunch of different ways a league can pay out, but it's extremely important that every single tiny detail of the league's operation (weekly dues paid in, league expenses, sanction fees, league payouts, etc.) be in writing before league play begins to protect both the players and the...

Yes, it's true that glue can't absorb into the poly layer on the bottom of a Kamui Clear, but how is the poly layer adhered to the bottom of the leather tip? With magic unicorn dreams? No. The poly layer is glued onto the bottom of the leather tip. Isn't there some glue absorption in that...

Those rings sure look like Ariel Carmelli

In my experience, whenever I use my playing cue to break I know I swing softer, and not just to keep the end of my OB1 shaft from blowing into pieces (which I know won't happen cuz I can't possibly swing that hard anyway), but also so I don't bang my playing cue into the edge of the table and...

How is calling in to sign up "unfair"? As long as the player's entry fee is paid before the draw is made, there's no problem. If the TD is dumb enough to place a player into the draw without the entry fee paid, he'll get burned soon enough and have many questions to answer.

I know this will sound a bit self-serving, but I highly recommend bringing your mushroomed tip to a cue repairman. Burnishing the sides of the tip back to flush with the ferrule poses a few problems, most notably: scratching the heck out of your ferrule, twisting the tip right off, or creating...

The name "Radial" is a registered trademark of Uniloc. So, as explained above, when you talk about a Radial pin, that's it - a Uniloc Radial pin. The exact size of the Radial pin is 3/8 - 7.62 tpi (3 threads per cm). However, there is a knock-off pin that to the naked eye looks exactly the same...

While I understand where the OP is coming from, it seems like much ado about nothing to me. But, to each their own.

I think Kamui tips are just fine-better than many, just as good as many, not the be-all-end-all. I appreciate their attempting to make a new product, but a "cool looking" clear pad won't make you shoot any better. They definitely got the buzz going, so on that front they succeeded.

Let me clarify something: whenever and wherever I play pool, I spend money. If I'm having a good time, I spend LOTS of money. If I'm not having a good time, I'll still have a few drinks and happily pay for my table time, but I most likely will not frequent that place again.

Pool rooms are just like any other business. The owner must keep his place clean and looking nice, promote his business in a positive way, provide the goods and services his customers want, and be friendly. If he does all this, the business owner MIGHT stay in business. Here are sure-fire ways...

Its best to prime the back of the tip with thin CA. For really hard tips, scratch some really healthy cuts on the back of the tip so the thin CA has something to grab on to. You don't have to soak the tip with thin CA, that'll just make the whole tip hard as a rock. Put the thin CA on a Q-tip...

I could be wrong, but it sounds as if: (1) the finish was wet sanded while the lathe was spinning. That would account for the scratches around the cue, not lengthwise. This isn't horrible, but also... (2) the wet sanding wasn't stepped down far enough to 2000 or farther. If the cue maker...

I certainly can't speak for all cue makers, but when it comes to pricing my cues I charge a price that will yield me a profit that I feel is fair based on my time spent making the cue. As far as the "secondary market" pricing concern, I don't think Ford considers the used car lot owners when...

Am I misunderstanding something? This is what we call a 2-way shot in our area: you shoot a shot, and leave the cue ball in a spot that if you make it you have shape for the next ball, but if you miss it you leave the guy safe. It's both an attempt and a safe at the same time. What are you guys...

There's a relatively even fix that works for most Valley tables. Anyone that has recovered a Valley knows that the slate is only supported by the 2 aluminum rails across the middle and the small 1"x1" lip of wooden strips around the perimeter at the rails. To secure the felt to the slate, glue...
