    Are the new Tariffs on Goods from China going to affect prices on Pool cues?

    This is a great example. High prices are okay. Just accept it. No one should be arguing over higher prices 🙄. Here have a warm glass of koolaid.

    Are the new Tariffs on Goods from China going to affect prices on Pool cues?

    Hell yeah. I know I would hate to pay 125% less for the everyday shit I buy from Amazon. More than anything bro. I really want to pay more for car parts. Need a 10 dollar latch for my Ford for 24 bucks. That’s winning. 3 dollar light switch cover from Home Depot that is now 7 dollar. Take my...

    I wish you all the best. The same group of geriatrics that tout “hard work pays off” are the ones who think what’s happening is a good thing. It’s more spiteful ignorance than anything. I hope you come out on top. Hard for me to believe this is temporary. If the country wakes up tomorrow...

    Wanting advice from the cuemakers please 🙏

    I don’t mind a house cue or worn look. Honestly I’ve never been motivated to refinish a cue unless there’s significant damage or something that would impede playability. I’ve seen patina vehicles with gloss clear over the patina. Honestly I hate that look. At least make it a matte clear so it...

    Wanting advice from the cuemakers please 🙏

    People pay a fortune for “relic’d” guitars. Real patina is highly sought after. Been happening in the classic car industry for little while too. Strangely has not made its way into the cue world.

    I've had a number of heart surgeries and been cut up a ton of times. If you're anything like most people you're going to be hyper sensitive to every heart flutter, palpitation, rush of adrenaline and any little heart related pump or bump you can think of. Don't let those things freak you out...

    I don’t believe tariffs with replace income tax. However the wealthy would benefit greatly from that proposal. Since we, the people, feed the market we will be the ones covering all the costs. It’ll be sold as a pay raise when in reality it’ll be a net loss for most of us.

    That’s wonderful but if our foreign competitors are forced to raise costs on us significantly this company will likely raise prices as well. Why wouldn’t they? No one is going to undercut the market. They will simply raise their prices because anything else is just leaving money on the table...

    You guys started off with inflation being so out of control we had to vote the right guy in to make things affordable again. Now you’re at “Stop buying things unless it’s absolutely necessary”. What’s next? Everyone just needs to eat American bread and US manufactured beef broth? Everything...

    Joint Pin Experiment

    First off I think it’s pretty badass to experiment and test new things. Sometimes I wonder if we’re presenting solutions to things that aren’t a problem. I’m nowhere near the level of most of you so that’s really just something I ask myself more than anything.

    Shuriken cue

    Thats why I had asked him. Seems to me it was filled simply to deaden unwanted vibration. I'm no master cue builder but if I have to drill for weight relief I simply thread it. Then if someone wants to add weight they can or I can plug it with a rubber bumper and be done.

    Gandy Cue Information

    I’ve had a few Ricco cues. I always enjoyed the styling of his work. Unfortunately had a bad experience with his son and ended up losing the last two cues of his I had owned. Great work nonetheless.

    UK “women’s” final

    Unlike the flaccid peni’ throughout this thread you make a reasonable argument without berating and disparaging anyone. Your approach is what needs to happen. We need civil discourse not attacks. One member here calls them violent. That rhetoric is plain stupid and unproductive. I’m a...

    Once a day Xaralto might be cheaper. Ask your doctor. I pay 180 for a 3 month supply.

    Cue Components under new ownership

    I would check your metrics on how your website ranks before considering any name changes. The last thing you want to do is kill your visibility via a massive overhaul unless you have an SEO guy working for you. Of course you'd have to weigh that against any perception that you're costing...
