Moori medium. I'm no expert on anything pool-related, though. I will say that I've had the same tip on my cue for almost two years, and play almost every day. The tip is still in great shape.

Are they (Diamond) ever putting these new models up on their webiste, or are they custom order only? Not in the market for a new table- just curious.

The pool room looks awesome, as does the menu. As someone else already said, my stomach growled just reading the menu and seeing the pics. Best of luck with your new room. By the way, you should make t-shirts. If I can't make it to your room in person, I'll at least sport a shirt with your...

thanks for your reply!

At some point in the future I'll get my first custom cue. I currently play with a Viking with the Viking QR joint and a predator shaft. If I want to get my custom with two shafts, the cuemaker's shaft, and a predator shaft, but don't want to waste the predator shaft that I have, is there any...

I've been on this site for about two years now, and I was never positive if the AZ meant that it was originally for Arizona pool, or if it was like it was a site for everything in pool from A to Z. Maybe I'm a bonehead.... I love the site. People are very helpful and informative. It seems to...

This is a very helpful thread. The OP has asked all of the questions that I have always wondered. I wonder if you guys could elaborate a bit on this question: If you had a plain jane (say, in cocobolo) and a sneaky pete (also say cocobolo) from the same custom cuemaker, with the same tip...

Curious to see who steps up to be re-dubbed "the turd taker."

Freddy- If I don't play bank pool, but want to work on my banking game for 8 ball and 9 ball, which book should I start with?

I've heard nothing but good things about them, and want to get one at some point. I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you guys have his regular shaft or a timeless timber one? I currently play with a Viking with a 314-2. Which shaft would be less of a transition for me, deflection-wise...

Nice thread. I don't have much to add, other than agreeing with the importance of changing up your practice routine. When I find myself starting to do the same drills every practice I go crazy. I like the idea of each practice session doing one from each category: one warm up drill, one...

Thanks for the responses. Hu, I'm not worried about competing at a high level in barbox tournaments--just want to play decent in league. I'm just an APA 4, although I am getting really into pool and consider myself a student of the game. You make a good point about the mud ball. My first...

For the first time in my life, I'm playing in a league. It's barbox 8 ball. Up until now, I've done 95% of my playing on 9 footers or my 8 foot pro in my basement. I know that in a perfect world I'd practice on the same tables with the same cloth that I play in in league. But I'm obviously...

I might be interested. How much is shipping? And, most importantly, are you a Red Sox fan or a Yankees fan?

Some more impressions, and questions, if anyone is still interested: 1. I haven't played a lot of guys before that play good safeties. Being able to play a good safety seems to separate the average players from the good ones. I need to work on playing safeties, and work on my kick shots to...

I've never played on one. This may be a stupid question, but what's the difference between a Valley bar box and a Dynamo? I kind of thought they were the same thing.

I'm in a very similiar situation. Around two years ago got a table in my basement, after having played very little since college. I agree with those who suggest taking a lesson or two to nip any bad habits in the bud. I have found all of the Phil Capelle books very helpful. (Play Your Best...

I got a Viking plain jane for around $125, and a schmelke sneaky pete for $95. Happy with them both. And I'm basically a beginner.

Thank you guys for your responses. I think my quick fix solutions at first will be to bring a cue ball from my home table, in case it's the mudball. And, to try to get home from work a little early to be able to warm up on my home table for a while before playing. (It's tough with kids...

I think that I like the straight legs better as well. A couple of quick questions 1. what's the wood? Maple? 2. Which stains are those? 3. How different will they play than the commercial tables?
