gonna keep it for the time being

bump........

Does nobody actually read the posts? I said a .5 inch hole. Not .75. And you're no one to say that my friend is a nobody. You have no idea of his experience working with wood and metal lathes. He wanted to know how to remove and reinstall the butt cap. It was supposed to be a simple question...

Good grief. If you actually read my post, it says that Dan got the cue from someone else who had it custom made. He gave Dan a very good deal on it so he was okay with the weight at first. Now that he's playing more again, he'd like to make it lighter. My point was that everyone was up in arms...

SOLD Schon shaft is basically new. 5/16-14. It's played less than 10 racks. No blueing. The pilot was trimmed ever so slightly so that it can fit into other stainless joints. Original Schon tip. First 3 pics are of the Schon shaft. tip: 12.98mm joint: .835 inches weight: 4.1 oz...

This cue is one solid piece of ebony so there are no screws or pins holding the handle together. There is no ring work at the butt sleeve area either. I talked to Dan and he said that there is only a small brass insert holding the screw of the bumper in place. There is nothing under the bumper...

Couldn't you just drill out a little bit at a time and break it up into separate sessions so it doesn't get too hot? And Josh thanks for your input.

Just because Dan wants to do it himself doesn't mean he won't listen to experts' opinion. And for the record, I don't want any modification done to this cue. I like cues and I respect the opinion of those who call for Dan to sell the cue and keep it original. That is my view as well. All I...

Hey jayman, I don't know why you feel compelled to start swearing behind your keyboard...but your first post seemed unhelpful to me for several reasons. Firstly, if my friend is considering boring out the cue. Don't you think a simple idea like removing a weight bolt would have occurred to us...

Thanks for the responses guys. I more or less expected the sentiments of many of you and feel similarly myself. My friend Dan is very adamant on doing this work himself. He's always done everything himself and gets satisfaction from doing it. I should also mention that he has a machinist...

I have a friend who insists on personally modifying his Bill McDaniel cue. He wants to bore out some of the ebony butt with a long drill press to make it a couple ounces lighter. The cue currently weighs 22 oz. and has one solid plain piece of ebony for a butt with a standard-sized delrin or...

I have had a couple cues that had slippery linen wraps which I did not care for. On both of them, I sprayed a few coats of polyurethane over the wrap and love how they turned out. If you're going to replace the wrap, you might as well try it as it is essentially free and will be much closer...

load up with inside and shoot it past the 3 then spin around three rails behind the 3 to get on the 2. It might be a little steep on the 2 but considering how easy it is to get on the 3, I think this is the shot. You can't hit it too hard. You've gotta let the spin grab that first rail and...

US is definitely outclassed. All of the players in the cup have a high gear but the pressure has exposed their aversion to conventional fundamentals. It is obvious that Europe is in much better control of their emotions. I say these things because of the way the US team has been rushing...

Two rail kick at the four. Kick to the end rail then hit the side rail two diamonds up from the four. If you hit it with good speed you won't scratch.

This is the shakiest and most nervous I've ever seen Corey. After the first game on Day 1 even though he beat Boyes I thought uh oh that's not good.

Did anyone else notice that Corey started using a blue cue instead of the Woodpecker cue that he's been using forever? I wonder if he switched to a lighter one to better control his speed. Still looks like an ob classic pro he's using though.

Shane made 5 playing Nikos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3YSOu_ew4M&t=172m32s

Do they still have the 3 balls rule on the break? Only one ball down and one ball passed head string but Shane was allowed to keep shooting.
