Not that I condone the useage of ivory in this day and age where we know better... but when I was in Taiwan, I could see a lot of it around, and I imagine a trip there would be easy enough to find someone to source it and put that in a cue for you... Lots of people there still use ivory for...

It's sexist nonsense, and prevents progress. It's simply ego saving for men who would probably lose to solid female players anyway, and it further embeds the already firmly established psychology of difference that exists within the game (the attitudes, marketing, equipment, locations to play...

Yeah, it usually lines up the three centre balls. But when they play the 4 ball game, it's just two balls aligned, that must touch horizontally, the vertical two balls don't touch. I'll post a picture if I remember after work.

Thanks for sharing, will have a look when I have time. Appreciate the info :) Infinity diamond, Go-custom and there's two others whose name escapes me, bear striking resemblance. Especially in the break/jump cue dept.

I had a shaft re-tapped here to 3/8x10 - cost me about $20 - but I am in China where it is likely substantially cheaper, and the guy works at my local hall. I just gave it to him, let him have at it. Did a perfect job. Maybe this would get most accurate advice in the 'ask a cuemaker' section of...

Massive respect for making your life what you want to make it! I too am someone who is not one for (or simply incapable of) moderation when it comes to alcohol. But I am content with making an ass out of myself on my birthday once a year. Keep going! Make your life how you'd like it to be :)

Becue, Go-custom, Infinity Diamond and a couple others all seem to be from the same factory/production line. Their break and jump cues certainly seem that way.

It's what Sober Life will do to ya

I'm sorry but just seems nonsensical, only Kim Jong Un has the power to dominate the table in such a way.

Often here in China, when they are playing anything from 4-9 ball, they are using a small template that looks like a line. It racks the centre balls in a line. I see many online videos using this template when they are playing a game with cards called 'Zhuifen'

Advice... Start modest... do your own research... try as many as you can... don't listen to loud people... don't listen to marketing bollocks... pick something you can upgrade should you wish to

You can buy the one many Taiwanese players use at ORG billiards. Perhaps this is the same as Styer uses. some of these butt threads (like Mezz M6) take too long to screw in. It's a KUO extension they are using. Think these ones are handmade and better quality than all the similar I can find on...

People like to hear a nice clean whirrrrrrrrrrr and see those shafts spinning. Not a single seller in my WeChat sells without these. Is this a cultural difference? Maybe.... Anything to sell. Guess it's just considered a normal thing to do here.

Pay the coins

It's for people who buy and sell cues. Most resellers and cue guys here in China will include a video of a cue spinning on these with the pictures of the cue.

Having only played on an American table for just over two years, and at the same location which utilizes cameras on all tables, my most memorable shot I actually have a video of, to have and to hold, forever (until something trumps it). hill-hill to 21, I think it's my second or third time...

Cue guy send me this last night. Sent a few videos too to show the finish. Did a good job and I think it looks nice. I'll go give it a hit after work today. Thanks for the suggestions in the thread :)

used to be 4 across the headstring/pocketed I think

I think perhaps you misheard and the commentator was referencing a previous surgery which he underwent some years ago. I asked my friend who follows it like religion, and this was his answer. "Hi man, I never heard he recently had another surgery. I saw a video he played with Yang Fan in this...
