Get a pair of lightweight Skechers slip on athletic wear shoes. The foam bottoms feel like you are walking on soft sand and the light weight makes you feel like you aren’t even wearing footwear. Plus the color varieties, style and patterns are vast. If you can’t find Skechers footwear you like...

That is a handsome cue and Bob’s production of cues isn’t going to continue much longer, just like Richard Black or Ernie Guitterez. I couldn’t see the joint but presume it’s his favorite 5/16x14 piloted steel version. Nice cue…..a classic design.

My buddy has Tascarella on order that’s been started. He was told 15-16 mths for the design he wants. However, a person scheduled to have their cue 3rd qtr. this year was told it would be early 1st qtr. 2026 is what my buddy learned through some FB stuff about Tascarella Cues. So if that were...

Thanks for the info. I never heard of those brand chalks; comes as a big surprise but welcome news nonetheless.

If you say so……everything in life that is not an actual real fact eventually turns into someone’s opinion.

The perfect stroke is different for each of us. When it happens, we don’t always know why but make no mistake, we always know when it occurs. It could be a long bank shot that you get to watch on the way to the object ball on the head rail and then observe it bounce off the rail and start a 5-6...

I agree which is why I intentionally referred to Pagulayan chalk as being equivalent to V10. IMO, the shape helps me apply the chalk evenly and control how the chalk wears down from a simple visual inspection. I can tell which corners of the cube need more use for even wear. As the photos in...

If anyone bothers to use a square chalk holder to make TAOM apply more easily, efficiently, effectively, comfortably or let’s just say for any conceivable reason anyone can conjure up, it just seems logical and practical minded to just wonder aloud why in heavens sake they wouldn’t want a TAOM...

You sure hit the nail squarely with this post.

All I know is that the cube shape feels more natural to hold, you can brush apply chalk from the corner shape of the chalk to ensure it wears evenly and drop it or knock it off the rail and TAOM chalk can roll 15-20’ away. It often hides itself really well when you set it free. Pagulayan chalk...

My misunderstanding….I incorrectly associated your post with this thread’s subject of ivory and how it’s regulated.

Laws enacted are not changing constantly. There are new laws being added but after enactment, it’s seldom unless additional crimes or penalties were added to the originally passed legislation. There is ample legal wiggle room in the regulation that lets you buy and sell pool cues laden with...

I’ve said it before and will repeat it again……Pagulayan Chalk’s Shape makes it a much better version of TAOM. It’s easier to apply so it wears down better than oval. So it should last longer, plus it doesn’t roll & hide if dropped. Get a box of Pagulayan Chalk….it’s the cube shape version of...

If you knowingly violate another state’s laws, you might not ultimately be judged guilty at a trial should it ever come to that but I was told by USFW you can still be charged for a crime in another state if you were to ever visit it. It becomes like an outstanding bench warrant on a traffic...

Behave like a smart carpenter and always measure twice before cutting the wood once…….do your own research.

There are more than 4 states that restrict the sale of any ivory whatsoever and there are no deminimis exemptions for those states. And there are additional requirements about Interstate Commerce transactions between states that have not enacted any legislation restricting ivory sales within its...

What state do you live in? Ivory cues can be purchased and sold as long as the amount of ivory contained in the cue satisfies the de minimis requirement stipulated in the regulation. Just confirm you reside in a state that hasn’t enacted any ivory ban and you only sell to a purchaser that...

I have refinished over a 100 maple cue shafts in my pool playing life for my friends and my own cues. My Kielwood shaft experience is limited to one shaft (Cory Barnhart) but I have Jacoby Cues making me two more different pin KW shafts for my other cues. IMO, the KW shaft I have is assuredly...

As far as the weight of this shaft, it’s only a fraction lower than my Barnhart Kielwood at 3.81 ozs, Based on what I’ve seen for other brand KW shafts, the weight of this shaft is better than most. Jacoby is making me 2 KW shafts and I’m hoping for 3.9 to 4 ozs. They thought they could do it...

The dark roasted KW shafts need better lighting to reveal the shaft’s richer color of coffee and true beauty.
