    Rules for playing 61

    Rotation or 61 is pretty straight Foward. It's a very tough game. Once you start you'll probably, get the bug for it. I only ever played, the Philippines version. It's basically if you get hooked,rather than try and escape. You can spot the odject ball.player than shots from the head string. Any...

    Ball movement and accuracy - 12.5 vs 12.9 diameter tip

    Very well put, thicker or thinner. It's all personal preference. Aswell as, all shafts playing slightly different. Today's trend seems to be on the thinner side. I remember reyes, old jessie cue that was 12MM. And the meucci he used, was turned down to 12.5mm. That was in the 90s.

    Does Practicing on Fast Cloth (760) Make You Better on Standard Speed Cloth (860HR)?

    The taiwan brand made by andy cloth, is pretty fast, due to its nylon content, especially when it's just been put on. Only thing I never like about it. It's got a strange texture. Some 760s will play faster than others, just as, some 860s will be faster than others. The environment, it's kept...

    Willie hoppe question ... Help

    I'm pretty sure all the brunswick hoppe before the 70s, had 5/16x14 pin thread. Unless thay had been worked on. These cues are known for the pin coming loose. Paticularly the brunswick masterstroke, which had the same pin.

    Lagging ?

    When you get them, that close, pt109 is right. You would stack a couple of balls along side, to see who has it closer to the rail.

    When to replace cloth

    Playing at the rate you do, I would say your good for a couple more years. Your going to get, the odd mark no matter how careful you are. As long as it keeps playing true, it will be fine.

    Your choice of cloth

    Andy cloth, is another one that plays really fast, compared with simonis, and has a strange texture.it's probably, due to the nylon content.

    Gus Szamboti's destroyed cue?

    I think there is no doudt is very early cue, reading the blue book again. It states he took it home, and distroyed it. If not then some how, you have something here, that shouldn't exist. If you were going to try and snap a cue in two. That would be a good place, just before the wrap. And the...

    Gus Szamboti's destroyed cue?

    Bass Man, great story. I glad you got it fixed. It's amazing it came off the tenon like that. Looks like tescarella did a brilliant job. I think you did the right thing.I'm surprised if that was the cue. He didn't distory it fully, it that was his intention. But anyway At least you can actually...

I know the sniper tips, were very common at one time. Way back, the emraled were 2 tips for 10.which was great deal. There was a similer offer on...
