Thats a good price on a nice cue!

Tonight I played in my first Fargo reporting tournament and I realize that 200 games are needed to establish a true rating. My question is this - can I still play in Fargo sanctioned tournaments even though I am at beginner rating? I don't shoot league anymore but plan to start shooting in a...

I still have and use my brown Porper 2x2 that I purchased when I bought my Meucci.

Has anyone tried all 3 of the Ultraskin styles? I have the Ivory Medium on my regular player and really like the results so far, but am wondering how the Fire Medium compares to it? I have a Black Medium on my cheap break cue and am getting good action from the cue ball with it. I have a Black...

I did find the slip of paper that I had with the tips I found in my billiards box and there was a few tips mentioned... Elk master, LePro, Eureka, Champion, and Chandivert. The only ones left are 3 LePro, an Elk master, and the Champion with the red pad.

Thanks

Thanks

Going through my pool supplies from the 90's I came across 3 LePro tips and either a Champion or Crown?? It has a red pad on the bottom and the pad itself has two little holes in it. Any help identifying appreciated.

I believe the Meucci I have was made in the mid or late1990's ?? It is the 97-11 and has a Rainbow stained birdseye maple forearm. It was made for and sold through Mueller Pool and Darts catalog. It is similar to the HOF 1 but is a bright Rainbow stained instead of grey stained. Any idea what...

After encouragement from someone here and some consideration I will just be purchasing an extra shaft for The Meucci that I have.

For many years I used Elkmaster tips. I never used layered tips until recently.

Delamination of a layered tip can happen if the tip is overheated when turning it down on a lathe or from sanding and roughing the tip up from outside to center instead of the center towards the outside... just to name a couple.

I have always gotten more spin from soft tips and had more miscues with hard tips. .🤷‍♂️ I will admit though that hard tips do increase ball speed.

Years ago I used to buy Elkmaster tips and work them up with a pliers until they were spongy before putting them on my cue. They almost had the feel of using a rubber tip and the amount of spin I could produce on the cue ball was crazy... especially when doing masse shots.

Different types of leather, glue, and any other components involved will make a difference in how the tip responds at impact, which will determine how the cue ball reacts. If you have trouble understanding this concept perhaps you should look for a different hobby??

So the difference between a Moped and a Harley must just be in your mind as well?? They both have two wheels. lol

I see none of the Eckes Magnum cues are shown. I owned one of those as well. They looked the same but said Magnum on the forearm.

Yes, I think you are correct and I will probably just get a second shaft for my Meucci. As far as the Schmelke, it is one that I have been seriously considering for a break/jump cue. :)

Sorry.. 1970's and not very straight anymore. As far as price range.... I'm retired and live on my SSI and have my Meucci for my main cue.

I have been looking at a couple different cues lately as I would like to replace my original cue from the 70's, and would also like to get a Break/Jump cue. I will probably purchase a cheaper McDermott to use as a backup/second cue that I can use for everyday play and keep my Meucci for...
