Looks better than some first time installs. Still got tearing on the leather from a dull cutter. Looks like some chalk stains got glue coated.

Unless you’re installing tips that constantly pop off, not needed. Tips come in 14mm standard, with some companies offering smaller/larger. Always buy larger and trim to size.

So what’s the best prescription glue?

“Coffee shops” and Red Light District.

Hold up, you’re taking my type of attitude towards physics. But you do not understand a thing you wrote. First off, a cue ball is considered a curve. A complete curve, meaning circle. Not arch. An arch can have many different radius’s during its span. An arch never connects back to its starting...

Structural integrity so the cue doesn’t just fall apart. Are you new to this?

Shaft with collar that matches cue is trash? Many ways to do this, but have you ever glued ringwork together yourself? Things to note, the tighter the fit the weaker epoxy is for the hold. Threaded on is always better than slip fit. Measure the shaft collar OD’s and ID’s. This could make the...

I have never seen a leather tip not mushroom. It helps combat excessive mushrooming, but never prevents. And it does not prevent moisture wicking at all. If it did, there would be no need for these black leather tips designed specifically for that intent. Unless your tip is blue to begin with...

What’s the point of using wax in a manner it’s not intended for, and not applying it in a manner that actually achieves the results you’re looking for?? Just to attract more chalk dust to the side of the tip? It’s not sealing anything unless you are melting the wax into the grains of the...

Doesn’t matter. The wax melts into the side of the tip and is absorbed.

I would avoid doing this as misapplication of the wax can lead to an increase in random miscues.

The Jacoby doesn’t ping like the Revo. Seems to mimic a wood sound on good spin shots. It’s what I ended up with.

Wouldn’t something so simple to do, be expected to have been tried before? The simple answer is basically an aggressive modified conical taper with a 1/2” or so capped phenolic ferrule with a substantive hardness for a break shaft. Energy goes from tip to joint. How strong a material is overall...

If a ball hits 100% inside the points of the pocket, and it’s getting hung up and not falling, that is a problem. No ball that can clear the points should ever hang up. But they do. Pocket facings, angle of pocket opening, age of cloth and shelf depth all play a much bigger role in determining...

And yet you wanna push for tighter pockets? Also, maybe it’s those rec players that have driven away the true players of the game in America.

So a standard cut pocket, 5” opening with a deep shelf on a 10’ will cause people to go away?

You miss the point. If a pocket is made progressively smaller to the point where a ball shot down the rail hangs up rather than falling, is the pocket too tight or is the shelf of the pocket too deep? At what point do we realize that the need for 10’ tables in pro competition trumps the need for...

I’m heading into work right now, we got 4-6” here in GJ. Anything east of Glenwood Springs should be closed from what I’m hearing.

I had it playing in the background while I was working. I heard ‘fatgirl’ and almost lost myself.

And it doesn’t matter how tight you make a pocket if the shelf of the slate at the pocket doesn’t extend past the points. A GC with pro cut pockets is still easier than a Diamond with pro cut pockets. This whole argument is starting to turn silly. Five factors determine how tight or lose a...
