If you scratch, or touch and or move a ball a push out can become a foul. Back in the day, we call push out, two shot roll out, I wonder why they changed it!!

Sales tax is a state requirement, and income tax is federal. If the cue maker has a business license, he must collect sales tax and in most cases make quarterly payments to the state.

The gentleman is in business, he may even be paying social security to meet the requirement. Not everyone is ok with cutting the government out of taxes, I also charged tax on my custom cues and repair work in my shop. I would pay the tax myself for online sales thought.

I would contact the cue maker and have him fix / refinish the cue. If, it’s the A-joint he should fix it free in my opinion.

It’s very hard to say if the finish is the problem. Since, it’s a used player you can’t fault the cue maker. I would contact him, and ask if it can be fixed, if it’s a parts failure he may just fix it.

I would not really worry about it too much, unless it gets worst.. there are many factors that can cause that to happen. 1. The facing between the joint and butt may not be perfect. 2. The use of wood that is not properly or fully dried. 3. Exposure to heat or a moist. What, type of cue do...

You sound like me man!!!👍

Good catch!👍👍

I would really like to see them Doc.

Unfortunately, the exact date for the initial production of billiard cloth is not known because of a factory fire in 1982 where the company archives were destroyed. https://issuu.com/spmmediallc/docs/spm-issue_2/s/15482405

I believe it was the late 1970s, up until then everything was covered with Worsted Cloth. But, no one knows for certain because the factory burned down in the 1980s destroying all records.

I totally agree with you!👍

That's a very good question, I suspect it's based upon the average weight break cue that is sold. In addition, few people understand the advantages of light cue, so manufacturers go with the flow and build cues with removable weight bolts.
