changing the subrail bevel to lower the nose height....

Thank you, Why is that measurement so important regarding selecting rubber. Seems to me if the angle is correct for a certain profile, and of course nose height is correct, all should be good. You all are saying its a no go. Bad scenario? What if the angle is correct and nose height is...

I believe I've asked you this before but still not getting it. "Thickness" How is that measured? Are you talking about the 1-3/16" measurement or the 1-3/4" measurement in this drawing. Note: I have no idea if this drawing has any validity what so ever. It helps explain my question. Maybe I...

I don't know the rules of this tourney but all the tournaments I've played were Round Robin. If a player forfeits it really screws up the works as far as ranking the flight. I've only seen it once and it was a real stinker. The tournament director wiped out all of that players games for the...

Maybe the only place on the East coast equal to Amazin Billiards, is Carom Cafe in NYC. Tables are cleaned regularly throughout the day. Not daily or weekly.. monthly. Balls are cleaned when returned from a session. Mazin is a professional and runs his room accordingly. Meaning he wants his...

Complete overkill for a table like this but in a way I like it. I do overkill for other things often. In my work, if I only see a microscopic window of success, I tell the customer I'm walking. This setup is likely in the microscopic arena. Who sold this idea?? I still like it though. Even...

Description of the sounds perfect to me. The only thing I'd change if I ordered one 10 years ago would be to have it wrapless. I'm sure that wrap is flawless and if I saw this cue for sale somehow and affordable?? I'd snatch it up in a nano second. Regardless of the wrap. You gotta put it...

So we still need to pay attention and learn how to aim with all these shafts? Shocking! I'm Shocked!

Some folks got lucky.

Both cleaners have abrasives. The Restorer larger granuals (sp?) I wouldn't use either of these in a Diamond Polisher. Too messy. This will sound like a PITA but if the balls are in sad shape, use the Restorer by hand, then go to the Cleaner and do that by hand. Then regularly, like after or...

Geeezzz! What are you smoking?

Got froze out on step 5 of training.

Dang!! Where do you get your 2X4's. I need to try that. Might get me out of the cue market.

This guy is fairly successful at 3Cushion. Looks like he's seen a few weight rooms too. https://alchetron.com/cdn/semih-saygner-2117a24b-5a42-4da5-ade8-7ceffa1865c-resize-750.jpeg

No Edit: That was rude, I'm Patient and I think there's more important things than building cues. Or even receiving one.

Sorry for your loss. Island Drive may have to verify this but I believe he came through Carbondale, IL in the mid - late 70's My memory is he was one of the few that left with more cash than when they came with.

Love the look of the linked cues. If I was in the market for a pool cue it'd be doing something like those If you see my cue from more than 5' away, it looks like a stick of maple with a joint. Look close and you see a butterfly splice and 4 very sharp points with 2 different pieces of maple...

Likely wasn't your lifting life. More likely having an audience weakened your concentration. From your post it seems since the ladies were watching, That mattered to you. Regardless of anything else. Could have been a group of old men tying flies and smoking cigars that shopped tying and...

I've spent a few days with Dieckman in his shop. He showed me a little how he would adjust his points, sharp or butterfly. Just speculation but unless I didn't get the whole story, a cue from him with adjusted points wouldn't roll well. It'd still be absolutely straight but a roll test would...
