    Amboyna Monster Cue, Szam/Mottey/BB ????

    One joint protector doesn't seem to fit well. Probably Ralf forgot to tighten it:D Since this is a Viattorre, I'm sure Ralf designed this cue based on his specs. I've seen several Viattorre cues in person, and I can say that the finish looks a lot better than the ones Ralf has posted (so...

    Viattorre Used Plain Cocobolo Pricing?

    How's the condition of the cue? The price shouldn't go down much if it's not warped nor if has small dings. I'm guessing that a brand new plain VCC cocobolo w/ 2 shafts & simple ring works is at least $550. If your friend is truly generous, you can probably get it at half the price :D I've...

    Toweling off your cue - harmful?

    Since my cues have automotive finishes, I also use clear-coat friendly microfiber cloths on my cue, I use separate mf's so as not transfer the abrasive chalk particles from the shaft to the butt. For the shaft, I use the suede-texture mf as it burnishes the shaft as good as a leather! For the...

    My Viattorre -After 15 months

    Congratulations to your new VIATTORRE! I too waited for about 15months even though mine's a solid butt w/ simple rings as its main design... as Jackson said, extra care is needed for solid butts since it's harder to keep it straight as you trim the wood down It seems you have a 1/2in ferrule...

    Nothing beats the simplistic elegance of a pj... only a connoisseur can truly appreciate its entire beauty:cool:

    Difficult Situation

    It's really hard to recover from a bad fall. Sometimes, when the name is tainted, all you have to do is RENAME it & make a new image!:cool: What makes your pool hall different from other competitors? What image are you trying to project? Which customers do you think your image captures? These...

    Exotic wood Viatorre for sale.

    15!:eek: No wonder Viattorre has a long list of backlogs! I think this cue is a great bargain! Having the Snake wood for the forearm & the butt sleeve is already a steal! Then you also have the ivory, and you no longer have to wait more than a year for a Via custom cue. Plus you have the...

    Poll regarding ball cleanliness

    You'll never go wrong with Aramith's Ball Cleaner since it's made specifically for Phenolic Balls. Just use microfiber cloths so as not to scratch the balls:)

    problem getting a Viattorre cue - and suggestions?

    Let's say I'll be coming from another country, how can you bring a personal cue containing these "banned" materials to the US? What if you don't have any documents for it? Is it easier to bring it as a luggage or have it shipped via door to door, ems, or fedex?:confused:

    Poll regarding ball cleanliness

    Actually yes. The concept of automotive detailing can be applied in maintaining the balls & cues. Here is what is done in automotive detailing: 1. A polish removes oxidation, reconditions, and brings luster to the paint. A more abrasive polish removes the scratches on the paint's finish. 2. A...

    Poll regarding ball cleanliness

    I'm sure Aramith's cleaner is not abrasive or else the balls' gloss will easily fade even after a day's play. I've been using it for 2 years now, & my pro cups are still glossy even after a week's game. Most of automotive polishes are not abrasive unless specified on the label. I recommend...

    viattorre or edwin reyers

    Actually, Viattorre doesn't have a standard design. They haven't even made a single cue as part of their stock since they have a long list of backlog. I believe most of the cues Viattorre have ever produced are designed by the customers themselves:)

    Ball Cleaner - Fact Or Fiction

    Metal ball returns can cause chips & scratches on balls especially if they are not smooth... this happened to by new set of pro cup tv's:( I guess here are the conditions that your balls will wear in an automated ball buffer: 1. Type of fiber/cloth on the buffer and/or on the "lip" or...

    Torn cloth.

    How small is small? I don't think it's repairable. You can probably use a colored tape over it. with us, we normally just replace them especially if they have already been used for like 3 months since we're located in a premium area, or send them to our other centers with "lower" market.
