I got my cuesmith lathe in February and started doing repairs on cues. My friend has a shaft that he wanted retapped to radial. So I drilled / bored it out, installed a phenolic plug that I got from Unique (followed their directions for install). That went perfect and got a real nice fit with...

Can we add a removable extension to the sole for when we have to lean over the table and still touch the floor ?

Thanks for the info!

5/16 is correct, i don't think I ever seen an insert used with a 3/8 X10 , and never piloted either.

i got one a couple years ago and have very few problems with it. Biggest thing was the screws were coming loose and vibrating. I resolved this by tightening them down a little harder than I normally would for small screws like that. Once I did that they have no come loose since. I got this cue...

Just got my lathe a week or so ago and I am finding this to be true......

I been using an Ultra Skin mediums with good success on my Revo.

I had a similar problem. I switched the carpets i had in my 5 gallon bucket and didn't spin them as long. I think some of the cleaner was getting heated up and baking on the balls. I used to spin them for 10 to 15 min. Now I only spin them for 5 min tops. Your also using way too much cleaner...

Congrats!

you can technically play real racks of nine ball while also doing the ball counting for APA. The bets are on who makes the nine each rack and the APA scores are on who wins the ball count. The only real issue I see is you really don't know how many racks you need to play in order to reach the...

I have had that happen to me when playing on an in-house league that was using the BCA handicap system. I really never looked into what went into it, but I play that exact same way of letting non runout players clear some clutter before I plan an exit strategy. Came back to bite me for the first...

The LO can't directly set a skill level in the system, its all about the algorithm. However what they can do is set blind minimum skill levels for players, so basically no mater what the algorithm says, it don't drop a player below that skill level. I would be highly doubt anyone entering info...

When I sent my Revo back to Seyberts to get it to fit my jacoby butt, this is exactly what they did. When I sent it, I was 100% convinced they would just run a tap through it and be done with it. When I talked to them on the phone, they told me they just added some shaft wax to the pin and took...

I think as a brand new player your skill levels can adjust pretty wildly until you get 10 or so matches put in. I have seen players go from a starting 3 to a 5 or 6 in just a week. Heck the guy I played last week was a SL3 the week before and played me as a SL5. he only had like 4 matches in...

In my APA league the good captains usually notify the league operator if someone is known to shoot a lot better than a 3 and they usually start them off at a higher level. Of course there are those captains who do intentionally find new to APA players and destroy teams for a couple of weeks...

I am sure a lot of people would like to see the proof otherwise........ just sayin

I use Gorilla Gel Superglue on ultraskins, but I do need an extra prep step that is outlined in the thread quoted above.

my favorite tip is one that suits my playing style, is cost effective, doesn't require a lot of maintenance and don't need to be changed every week. So far my holy grail has been the ultraskin mediums.

i have a star wars patch that I keep in my pocket that I use 99% of the time. I like the patch because I can't feel it in my pocket and I don't have to walk away from the table to get something to mark the pocket and get out of rhythm. When having fun, I do have a small E.T. figure that I use...

With Ultraskins, After initial sanding to remove the "glue" logo, I put a light coat of glue on the tip and spread it thin and let it dry or hit with CA activator. Then I sand it flat, add more glue and proceed with my normal tip install. With most other tips I don't have to do a pre-coat of...
