    Break cue recommendations

    Out of the several break cues I have shot with my 2 favorites would be the Predator BK2 and a Varney J/B. Both had some sort of linen phenolic type tip that gives it a great solid feel while allowing you to control the cue ball. My only issue with my Varney is that it was only about 57" long...

    Andy Gilbert J/B

    Thanks Gman, I thought that may be the case but have never had a Gilbert before so wanted to ask. It is a beautiful cue and I am going to have to pick up a thicker shaft. I sent you a PM, thanks again.

    Andy Gilbert J/B

    I recently acquired a used Andy Gilbert J/B cue. I have used it for breaking but haven't had the opportunity to try jumping with it yet. When I bought it the tip was larger than the ferrule and cracked quite a bit. I had a new Omega J/B tip put on it, which I have never used before. The shaft...

    What are the things you like or dislike about a pool tournament

    I just started regularly playing a local tournament and so far there are 4 dislikes I have. 1. Sharking - This hasn't happened too much, but I had a guy the other night that was saying excuse me before I even got up from my shot when I missed. He was running to the table on every miss I had...

    cue for returning pool shooter

    Welcome to AZ John. I am not exactly sure of the hit of an older Joss, but my local room I frequent is an authorized Pechauer dealer, so a lot of people use them. IMO they are a great cue and shoot very well. pretty solid hit and not a whippy feel to them. their worst feature is resale value...

    Most balls pocketed on nine ball break

    This topic was pretty much just covered here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=212823 , although I am not sure how honest people were since one guy said he made 11. Personally, I recall making 6 once, but the cue ball was one of them. :angry: I have made 5 a handful of times.

    True Confessions

    Red is BAD.... there is a local pool room with all red tables, red chalk, and as a result, red shafts on all of their house cues. Come to think of it, the shafts were a pinkish red.

    Jump cues

    So jump cues give an advantage, right? So should we not use a Low Deflection shaft then? What about phenolic tips, or layered tips? What about custom cues? Or dedicated Break cues? These are all advancements in equipment, just like a jump cue is. So should everyone just use a house cue to keep...

    Proper way to use a tip-tool

    I just read you other post Sean. So that is what the tip tapper is for, I have never used it or seen anyone use it before. I am going to have to try it.

    Proper way to use a tip-tool

    I have an It's George Tip tool which I love. I put it on the floor and spin my cue if it needs major reshaping. If you can hold and spin it while keeping it vertical, it gives it a nice even edge, where as by hand it is much harder to keep it even all the way around. It also has a tapper, which...

    Cue care (cleaning etc.)

    I am a fan of using a dry Magic Eraser. Takes any chalk dust off the shaft and ferrule very easily. Use a piece of leather to burnish it after as it leaves small fibers behind. I follow that up with some Butchers Bowling Alley wax. Very slick stuff. I wax about once every month or two depending...
