I currently have one of the Ultraskin medium Ivory tips on my cue and appreciate the feel and amount of english I can achieve with it. I ordered a variety of the Ultraskins and will be experimenting with them. I also have one of the Bulletproof tips on the way which is scheduled to arrive...

The first cue I ever bought was an Eckes cue made a few miles from here in Marshfield back in the mid 70's. I still have that cue as well as the Meucci 97-11 I bought around 2000 (give or take a few years) My Meucci 97-11 was a cue that was made for and sold by Mueller sporting goods. It has a...

My order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow after traveling around Florida for 3 days.

I play with a soft or medium tip on my Meucci and use a cheap cue with a hard tip for breaking.

Having been a cabinet maker for several years and understanding the effects of moisture I would guess that they have absorbed some moisture during storage. From the looks of it they were stored in the upright position since the moisture has collected towards the top of the stored position...

I used to gamble a lot in my younger years. Gradually taking some up to 50 or 100 bucks by the end of the night was ok, but when you offered them a chance to get their money back on the last game of the night playing double or nothing and then running the table on them would make lots of...

I got that message from them yesterday, so I will wait until they have the kinks worked out of the new site ;)

Perhaps you are on their old website??? This is the message they sent me................ Ron. We moved our website to a new server and are updating it. It has been down for a bit and we are trying to get everything configured and updated. Trying to get the kinks worked out. Thanks Schmelke Cues.

I also get the security warning when I try to access their current website address.

They replied to me on facebook messenger and said their website has been down for quite a while because they have changed servers and are currently trying to get some kinks sorted. They hope to have their new website up and running soon.

I have learned that my bifocals don't work so well when playing pool. I now wear my regular vision contacts for pool that I normally wear for hunting.

I have sent his sister another email asking if Tom actually made these tips himself or not. His site says that he would up production to keep up with demands, which of course could either mean asking his supplier to increase production or increase his own production. I will update when I hear...

garczar I found this is posted on Tom's website that I found from doing a little research. (A little bit about Tom) Why Layered Cue Tips? I was once a Cue Maker with a partner that made Cues under the name R/T Custom cues in the 1990's Back when I made Cues doing tips was a neccesary evil...

Does anyone know if Schmelke Cues is still in business? I see some distributors have their cues for sale, but I have been unable to contact Schmelke through email and their website is down.

Ok, a little research.... Tom had a chemist background and spent many years making pool cues before he started making his own layered tips. Lots of interesting info if you study his website.

If you check his website you will find that Tom imported the finest leather from Japan, then made the tips himself. Sooo - they are not made in China as some have claimed, and he didn't have someone else making them for him. Top quality USA made tips at the best price anywhere!!! ;)

Not far from you.

Thanks musky for the review.. just what I was looking for 🙂

Had it since somewhere around 2000 with no problems... and still straight as the day I bought it.
