Thinslice,are you saying you had a Revo break shaft modded by adding an ivory ferrule? Don't get me wrong if that is what gets you the best results,so be it but I get your point that it sucks that it won't hold up. That's kinda why I asked in fact,how many setups did you go thru to get to that...

I knew him going back to the early 90's when he was a STRONG force on the Memphis region tournament scene as a player(in modern terms 700+ Fargo),with at the time when we met a crazy nice ivory pointed South West or Kersenbrock before he started making cues,and in way he's the reason I am where...

It's given me good enough results as an CA finish (other than the hazards) using different oils and epoxy base that I've refinned 3 imports with it,and handed the customer back a finish that was comparable to whatever was on it new. I have no reason to think it wouldn't work for tips,but the...

I actually touted this video and threw you some love AND helped someone over on the FB page where the guy got a slightly different motor with a clicker,and posted a vid so someone could help diagnose. I saw it and knew immediately what the issue was,told him it was covered in your video,and...

Neil,what are you using for material on these sanding blocks,guessing machined to a 90 degree angle like a machinist's V block? Tommy D.

I firmly believe in the JB Weld ClearWeld 5 min,in my experience with it materials go bad before it does. However,for capped/threaded ferrules I've been using it inside the ferrule and on the tenon,while doing everything I can to keep the ferrule seam dry to eliminate glue lines. I've also...

I got both of mine out (1 in a Schon,one in an unknown,possibly South East cue) today,using a flat stock,90 degree pry bar that came in a 10.00 3pc set from Wal Mart and about 15 seconds on the bench grinder to grind it to a tight fit for the slot,plus a little help in the form of a pencil type...

When he made it to the TV rounds of the Brunswick World Open in 1989,he was already trying to use the technology available to give himself an edge on the break,in the form of a supposedly Titanium shafted Benson break cue. Earl smoked him with the nicest Meucci I ever saw him with LOL. Tommy D.

If everything works right,it would be useful for a LOT of things ;). Tommy D.

Tony Watson and his backer got robbed around the corner from J.O.B.'s in Nashville and wound up in the news after telling the cops that they had been on the road for months (including a 25k win over Eric Durbin at the Derby the year he won the Louie Roberts?) and between that and the score they...

How many of you have made a custom tool for taking out straight slotted head weight bolts? So far,I have 2 that I will have to heat up to remove,but so far I haven't come up with a screwdriver that will bite enough to back the bolt out. I've even ground a couple but no luck yet. What are you...

Danny has been in the game a LONG time. Even their bottom line cue,which can be had for 250.00 or less,is built like a tank,or at least they used to be. You'd be hard pressed to find a better hitting cue in that price range for sure,even now. The truth is he made a LOT of cues,and probably...

Back in the day Bill McDaniel made me a jump cue butt that would not only fit Schon shafts but looked like the front end of an STL-1. He was actually finishing it up when I picked it up. One of the things he did was take a smaller than normal bumper that still used a 8-32 cap screw and mounted...

I bought this entire match on VHS when it first came out,and watched it while I was messed up with strep throat and couldn't go out. It took right at 14 hours. If you total up the 2nd day,Earl breaks and runs 19 out of 35 games,dominating the ghost without ball in hand. Tommy D.

For years,I used NRR 34 shooting type foam ear plugs to combat background noises where stuff like a clanking beer bottle isn't covered up by music,like in certain tournament environments. I pay real close attention to the sound of my cue on contact,so I hear shit in the background that a lot of...

You can make a mount that will simply clamp your base to the top using the T slots built into the headstock. As you've surely realized a "normal" indicator mount with a magnetic base doesn't work with any of the Taig systems. Find a small block of whatever,drill a couple clearance holes,a couple...

I was told when I ordered mine in March of 2019 that it would take 8-12 weeks. It was already on the way when I got the message from Karen,3 weeks EARLY. Tommy D.

As an installer that yet to run into one of these yet,what do you do when/if that happens in public? Tommy D.

Viking,esp their American made stuff is a quality product too,with LOTS of options.and have never heard a word bad about their customer service. Tommy D.

Doing repairs on other people's cues,I can honestly say it LOOKS like their overall build quality has gone up,based on these last dozen new ones I've looked at. I haven't seen issues like joint collar cracks within a year,new ferrules within a week,warped when the first weather change comes...
