This cue is not for sale and was delivered Friday night to Dave Sutton and he seemed pleased.

Just saw the corners off the square or use a router table to cut them off. Then turning round is a one pass job and much easier on your router and lathe. If you see any kiln dried wood you want to stock that does not come from the USA start buying it as they are restricting imports more and more...

I could probably dig some out of my old tournament bags for $20 each if interested.

Did anyone think about a light weight cue ball or heavy weight pool ball being used or both? Trick shots often have tricks to doing them.

It does not get much safer than my jump start 6 packs. https://www.cuesmith.com/internet-special-1-jump-start-6-pack-special/

Plastics used. Flexibility and compression properties of woods. Hardness of glues. Materials used for cores and much more. I wrote a book about all this. Too much information for a AZ post.

Having built cues for over 35 years. I can tell you how the cue is put together makes a huge difference in how it performs. So you might not be interested in how things are put together internally, but you should want to know the person who built it does care and understand what it takes to make...

I used to win a lot of tournaments. If I won one I may not go back to that event for a few weeks. Or I would at least skip a week. If it was regularly played tournament and I won two in a row I would skip a few weeks. I used to go in a little circuit back in the early 90s hitting various events...

I used to use that one on my lathes, but it still had a hard fast start at almost half speed so I abandoned it for one that works slightly better, but still not as sensitve as the sewing machine ones from 30 years ago.

I made the ICCS show one time in St Louis and one time in Atlanta and I must say the collections some guys were showing were amazing. The newly built cues put up to be voted on for best of show were really great also. I like the older cues and you and some others had some really rare cues. I...

To me 8 ball is a little easier on the 9 foot table with equal normal size pockets and 9 ball is easier on 7 footers by far.

Very nice.

Here is what I have left now: 1st Cue is A 1980s Meucci Original Jim Rempe cue with 2 shafts $895 2nd Cue is a 1980s Meucci Original with 2 shafts $875 3rd Cue is a very lightly played 1980s Meucci Original I sold to my older brother new. He rarely played and when he sold his pool table he sold...

The black or grey stuff. Pack it how ever you want. Most of the weight is decided by the plug you use.

Soaking in milk will produce a milk dud with or without pressing. They are usually soaked without pressing. But pressing it makes it play instantly as hard or harder than the tip will after many hours of play. By pressing dry you are just speeding up the process of breaking in the tip , unless...
