    How much longer must we endure this insane format CSI is pushing

    Questions on Bone or Ivory ferrule install?

    Thanks Mike, I guess it does come down to proper fit. My first ox bone 5/8" ferrule. I was nervous. Used G bit and tapped with spiral bottom tap. Threads came out great. Once installed and turned down only time will tell.

    Questions on Bone or Ivory ferrule install?

    Should all Ivory and bone ferrules be tapped and capped? Also, is 1/8" cap enough to prevent cracking? Would a G be better than F to prevent a crack due to pressure of tapping? Thanks!

    Wow this cue hasnt sold yet at this price. Cant believe there is no love for a Hall of Fame cuemaker. I remember about '93 I wanted a Bludworth so bad.

    Another Question...Is there any possible way to fix this discolorization in a shaft?

    Yep, looks like it's going to be oxalic acid for me. States it does not affect the natural color unlike bleaches like peroxide or chlorine.

    What Cue Specs do you prefer?

    Well stated....Yes balance pt. is really important to my game. If i have a forward weighted cue i tend to choke up on the cue. If the balance pt is farther back i will tend to hold farther back near the butt. This is why i like a 57" cue as long as it is forward balanced. I think that players...

    Yep, If we could find a old warehouse full of it with the green speck we would definitely be a lot richer and happy! Proficient Billiards would probably buy all of it. lol
