I wipe the tip well and go tip down. I feel that the collar is more apt to wear going tip up and it only takes a couple seconds to remove the chalk.

I cant imagine a cue hitting better than a Rick Howard.

They all hold their value extremely well. I personally think a used one with Diamondwood would be the best way to go if you can find one. Regardless of color.

Bump for a great shaft. Looks great on a plane jane as well.

For sale is a used Predator shaft from Rick Howard in great condition. Cocobola ring work with ivory collar. Shaft has a slight taper roll. Tip does not leave table and plays great. Has a Kamui SS Tip. 12.7mm. Sold.

Yes, most any leather repair/shoe repair could get it looking very nice. Patching from the underside of the hole and matching dye would have it respectable for 20+ more years. No clue on value or if it's worth it to you. I'd imagine it would be a very inexpensive job for a competent leather...

I remember this place, glad to hear it is still around. I went to school in GB.

Never posted a pic before so here goes. JB Rugged 3x6. Cues are Rick Howards. I've taken a couple years off so I play most of my pool in my basement but plan to get back in the game next year in SE MN. PS- This is the first nice case I have purchased and I have no plans on using anything else...

I've missed shots on my Diamond that go in all day on a Valley but I have never missed a shot on a Valley that would go in on a Diamond. Side pockets are bigger on Diamond but other than that I'm not sure I'd agree. I guess I agree to the point of being able to move the ball around the table...

Right that's why it's such an amazing feat. The Soviets beat our (US) professionals at the time pretty handily if I'm not mistaking?

Miracle on ice far and away. Imagine the Minnesota Gophers beating an NHL all star team. The game after was pretty good too.

If I lived closer I would buy it and make a few hundred bucks the same day (since I recently purchased one). Very hard to find, especially at this price. GLWS!

Aramith ball cleaner is a wax.

Nice cue! I just bought a Howard otherwise I'd be giving this strong consideration (especially with the matching Predator shaft ). Hard to beat a Howard. GLWS!

Olhausen or Brunswick would prob be your best bet. I grew up with an Olhausen 7ft table at home and owned an 8ft Olhausen for many years. Hours upon hours of enjoyment and never had any issues with the equipment. Count your blessings for the ability to have a home table.

Enough speed to allow the OB to drop into the pocket (not enough speed to get to the back of the pocket). Similar to hole speed in golf where a put is hit soft enough to drop by hitting any part of the hole.

PS- I would encourage you to go to your local leather/Shoe repair shop to get a professional opinion bbefore going the cleaning and repolishing route. It sounds like you have a unique material that may require different steps.

Fiebings leather balm. I do a little leather work as a hobby making holsters and love the results I've gotten from this product. Great for the pockets on Diamond tables as well:).

The first time I ever played on a Diamond Bar box was at the Dakota Cue Club and that was my first impression as well. It almost felt unplayable. It's been so long and after shooting on my Blue label for a while I figured I may have just gotten use to them because when I shot on his red I didn't...

I'm skeptical of the negative feedback on the Red Label. I own a Blue label which I play on every day. I have hit balls on a friend's red label and can't tell much difference at all. MAYBE if they were side by side I could pin point something but certainly not noticeable enough for me to...
