13 or a little less. Wood shafts. More just what I am used to than anything. I have a 13.5 shaft but I never use it. Should turn it down someday.

Guess I didn't catch it that time. Thought I'd cut you some slack. I wasn't sure about it so talked to team mates between games. Etc... Some of you guys would gamble a hundred dollars on a game but would not gamble on letting a foul ride in league?

Sounds good to me. How the rules should be written and what we actually do in play can be two different things. Many times I have just not called a foul when I don't think the opponent has any chance of running out anyway. Sometimes it is strategic in forcing them to knock a bad cluster loose in...

Who knows?? People never give us much info about what the scenario was when it happened. Don't bogart the information! We just get a rough idea of what was going on and go from there. Everyone will have a different solution. Since we were not there and it didn't happen to any of us we can't be...

I am going to be the "old school" weirdo or luddite and say I still use Tweeten's 10 minute cement. I do mine all by hand like many do, never been in a hurry. Never had one fail me. I have a friend that bought a brand new somewhat fancy McDermott. The first time out with it after a while it...

Doesn't really matter. We all had to start somewhere, often in the school of hard knocks!! Perhaps some team members (or anyone else for that matter) should get together with her on a table and spend some time going over the rules that are used and also perhaps show her some pool shooting...

Intentional or not, I'd say it should be loss of the game. How do you decide if it is intentional or not anyway? Pretty hard to be sure with some players! Move balls around all you want by shooting the cue ball at it first. Intentionally shoot your opponents ball into a cluster or bad spot for...

The nice thing about an email reflector is that I get a notification on my phone whenever something is posted so I know right away whats going on. With Facebook and other social media I wouldn't know until I open the app and more intentionally look to see whats going on. If it is something that...

I have been subscribed to many groups.io for a variety of different electronics related stuff. Basically it is an email reflector. One ham radio related local club uses it as well that I subscribe to. It has never been any kind of a problem and has been in use for forwarding emails to and from...

As mentioned, Proficient Billiards. Just tell them you want a standard pro taper to a 12.5mm. I would ask around locally to find someone and save the cost and time in shipping but if you don't live in or near a larger city it may not work out for you. $30 for a turn down 0-1mm. Looks like extra...

We can adjust to all kinds of things but that doesn't mean we are happy with the way they hit or feel after the alteration. Better know just how you want it cut, how long a taper, how fast a taper, diameter at the tip, etc. Once it is cut down there is no going back! Unfortunately just buying a...

Putting a taper on a shaft is probably child's play for most any cuemaker. If you cannot find anyone local to do it then as mentioned Proficient Billiards is my first choice and the turn around time is usually pretty fast.

Will play on either but would prefer faster cloth. My pool game grew up in taverns with all kinds of tables, felt, and cue balls. On tavern tables you usually have to horse the cue ball around. In pool halls with good quality faster cloth it is a game more of finesse. Raw muscle doesn't matter...

I look at it more as making cars that are normally aspirated vs cars with fuel injection. No going back. Jump cues? Turbo chargers!

Thick slow cloth. Lasts longer in taverns. Be sure to bring your Norelco!!

If you think he is kidding, he is not! Don't let it leave your hands. I too take mine to the bathroom if I need to go there if I am not at a table with people I know very well I can trust to watch my cue. It is especially a problem with Sneaky Pete cues that look like house cues anyone can use...

Other than the purple heart wood it sure looks like a Meucci I had back in the late 80s or early 90s. Same kind of joint, pin and brass sleeve in the shaft. It was a particularly good hitting cue!

Hi! Roger Pettit I believe?? Mike Herron here from (mostly) the Name of the Game tavern. Do you still do any cue repairs? I have an old Huebler cue that needs a new wrap. Looking for someone local rather than sending it off to Proficient Billiards. Please let me know. I still have that Sneaky...

I understand that. What I meant was that since it doesn't care about the gender thing, why not just have all gender included tournaments. and let the FargoRate sort it all out. In other words let it adjust for the men vs. women thing. Just have tournaments based on FargoRate and not based on...

Would Fargo ratings adjust for this men/women/transgender concern? Perhaps sometime down the road there would just be "tournaments" and not men's or women's tournaments and Fargo ratings involved in them?
