A quick and easy fix would be to try a rubber sleeve over the wrap. Some are very thin and won't add much weight or diameter to the cue. Inexpensive solution easy to install and remove.

I too am getting old and really enjoyed reading this old post. I believe Cochrans tables ended up in the Billiard Palace in Anchorage.

If you are dropping your elbow and not getting the results you would like, a change may make a difference.

When addressing the cueball while aiming your tip should be as close to the cueball as possible. At that point your grip arm should be straight up and down. If you follow throw a perfect pendulum will leave your tip on the felt. You would have to drop your elbow for it not to. Leave the tip on...

The diamonds are important in 3 cushion. With cueball in one corner on head rail to kick to other corner on head rail the diamond count will be 5. Shoot into 3rd diamond and cueball will come off 2nd diamond on opposing rail and go into other corner. On each table 5 will be the diamond count...

If you use the diamonds in aiming some shots you will find the 7 foot and 9 foot tables are similar. The 8 foot and 10 foot tables are similar to each other.

In case you didn't see it Dennis cut his finger while cutting seam on leather wrap. He kept working and wiping blood from wrap. VHS cue making video he sold for $100.00. Should have retaped without the blood.

860 is 90% wool and 10% nylon. 860HR is 70% wool and 30% nylon. So is 760. When I worked in the pool hall we used 860 on all the tables. The nylon in 760 did not look as good over time. I believe the nylon would lose dye. I have never seen 860HR. Quit playing in 2008 after losing vision thanks...

There are Simonis 860 and 760. 760 has nylon in the weave. The two look differently over time.

I am sure you could beat me using a broomstick. I have seen that hustle before. Not everyone has unlimited talent. I put a pin in a 1.375 dowel and screwed a shaft onto it. Didn't miss a ball for two weeks.

Years ago Bert Schrager told me purpleheart is one of the best cue woods. He made many for 3 cushion players.

Koa another posibility

Looks like goncalo alves. One of the better cue woods. Missing a black band on shaft.

Looks more like kissing cousins!

He is in Lincoln City Oregon with a batch of cues. Pictures are on Test Area on az.

He is taking some beautiful new cues to Lincoln City Oregon this next week. Just saw him today.

Years ago an article came out in Billiards Digest about the pros and their cues. Comments were I can draw the cueball 15 percent farther with my SW. Several pros praised them. Prices shot up over night. Then there is the Kersenbrock effect. I believe him and Jerry worked together for a while. In...
