    CF Shaft Interior

    My initial reply was to jokers post. It was not intended for you. For years I have had that thought and couldn't resist posting. As I have enough maple to build a house, carbon fiber is not an option for me. Sorry you were offended. I have had the same experience when I post. Very seldom do I...

    After a rack or two adjust your game accordingly. The players that can adapt will have an advantage. I always loved hearing my opponent complain about playing conditions. I would agree with their complaints while emptying their wallets.

    Break in the face

    If this happened to me I would have hit the floor immediately. When I came to in an hour and spent the night in the ER I would call Harry Platis. People would think twice about Face Breaks after paying medical bills and pain and suffering awards!

    Pete Tonkin Screwed Me

Gus told him he would call when the cue was ready. Eight months later Gus called him to say the was done. He told Hugh he would ship him...

You need at least 2 screws locked together to prevent rattles. 5/16×18 socket set screws in from the joint on the shaft will work also. Drill and tap and...

    In case you missed it, real names or known identity preferred now

    According to the ACA you are not a cue maker unless you are a member. Free advice is priceless. Take it at face value and reach your own conclusions before acting. Roger Pettit
