Why clean your shaft at all? Paper towel up and down the shaft and then over tip and then back in the case. What are you doing to your shaft that you need to clean it?

Believe me, I am not a Preditor fan. I think they are more of a marketing company but their lights are amazing. I am sure they do not make the lights themselves but they are wonderful and add to the overall comfort of the room.

My poolroom uses Predator Arena lights. They are terrific. Check into them also. I like them better than Littman. They cast a better light to my mind.

If it's a rotation game, 9ball or 10ball. Filler is damned surgeon at the table.

Sort of understand what you're saying. Greyhound busses and Centennials are both classics?

Took Greyhounds buses more years ago than I want to say.

Maybe. Don't spend much time in bus stations. Are you talking Greyhound bus stations? Are there bus stations anymore?

The poolroom just might be the most diverse community on earth. That's my experience anyhow. All in an enclosed space. Everyone gets along despite different personalities.

I believe mammoth tusks are available and legal and can be bought at jewelry shows. My son has a cue loaded with it. I will PM you.

Never forget the loss I took from Ace in a tournament. Didn't sleep for three days as it was on my mind. Had him down 6-2 in a race to 7 in a tournament and lost the match. Not a handicapped tournament. Still bothers me to this day. Some matches you never forget. Nobody was a match for Matz...

Just so you know, Ace is still around and playing well and still a real gentleman.

All tips hold chalk, certainly if you chalk them enough like every shot or two or three. The Taoms go on like paint. I love the single layered tips. Elkmaster, Triangle. Certainly don't have time worry about separating a layer with a solid tip while shaping it. Love the sound of a harder tip...

Funny but my foray into cf was an 11.8 revo. As narrow as it was it felt like a broomstick. Taper thickened up very quickly. I play with a 12.25 with a very long taper. Hard pressed Triangle tips. Like a hard hit.

Agreed. Tried a cf shaft. Didnt work for me. I like a wood shaft apparently. It's all about the taper on a shaft for me, what makes me feel comfortable. Currently having a cue built and it will come with a kielwood shaft. I gave the maker one of my shafts to duplicate the thickness and taper of...

Sounds like you are trying to improve your game. Sort of think it's about what you feel comfortable with.

Great experience. I think almost everyone that plays layered tips has had problems with layers while shaping. Not good when it happens before a match. Solid tips never separate when shaping. There must be a thousand layered tips out there to choose from and they are expensive especially...

I play hard pressed Triangles. A milk dud from pooldawg8 that was gifted to me by another member. The milk duds play quite similar to hard pressed Triangles.

Exactly. Take what the table gives you. It's not that difficult a cut shot.

Your second choice is my choice. Just make the 8 or you have nothing. Take what the table gives you. If you can't thin the 9 in (and its not that thin) then you probably talked yourself out of the shot. Sometimes we try to get too cute, exact.

Love the hit of a Joss. Chalked, unchalked, doesn't matter. It's a cue stick. Warranty on a cue stick? WGAF?
