You tease! Where's the rest of it? :D

I've bought all the "toys" and tools at one point or another. The best thing I've every used is a 1" square of about 220 grit sandpaper. It works better, isn't tearing the hell out of your tip and costs pennies. A 1" square of sandpaper is literally the best tip tool there is. Things like a...

Tuesday morning sucked bad, especially considering I work at 6AM.I'm too old for that shit! 🤕

I have a Rhino. It's a great shaft for the money. Really you can't even get a decent wood shaft for what it costs. Did it make me play better? No. But I like it, it's straight and smooth as could be. If it gets knocked over by some dumb ass it won't ding it. If I get rambunctious and ding it...

Yeah. You can do it with a dremel tool or similar. You don't want it where you can see it on the exposed pin. This is a screen grab of one in an A joint, those reliefs are fairly large and done with a cnc cutter: Here's one from a supplier...

Go on youtube and watch https://www.youtube.com/@therealkingcobra He talks about it and it's called indexing the cloth. I'd highly recommend watching all his stuff before attempting it. The Simonis DVDs are good too.

Glue relief channels cut into the side of the pin and not super thick epoxy. I've also heard somewhere you don't need an absolute ton of epoxy in there, you don't want tons of it pushing out and getting in/on the outer threads, just enough to get the job done. I heard you can use alcohol to...

Very nice, good job on the chamfer too. :)

I'd rather build cues but repair work allows me to buy supplies. I've repaired the pool hall's house cues for free. They are very poor quality and most were broke off 3-4" from the ferrule. It was great experience and only cost me $2-3 per cue but gave me a ton of experience on tennon/ferrule...

If he had a set he would go with the "hot" match. The "hot" still favors the better player. He ain't scuuuured is he? :p

Don't eat pickles and ice cream before bed, it'll give you weird dreams... or if you like that type of stuff go for it! ;)

Agree. Anything over about a $350 cue is just luxury, even that is more money invested than needed to play well. I'm sure with a McDermott Lucky line you could easily become a big fish in a small pond with practice and work ethic. It's nice to have/play with nice things. We have some collectors...

You go girl! ;) 900 × 696[/ISPOILER]

A grand is a pretty significant amount for me. I mean, it's not going to put me on the street or anything but I'm done with credit card debt. It might take me 3 or 4 months siphoning off funds to come up with that as "extra." At one time I would drop 3 grand on stuff and pay the CC bill. Never...

It would probably be tough to find an unmolested blank/original for that. A cuemaker isn't going to do all the work of a conversion to make $50 in the process. The cues are ever more expensive so unless you happen upon a bargain somewhere you will pay a premium. If I had a bunch on hand I...

That would be awesome. I also wouldn't mind a Wes Anderson pool movie. The scenery/backgrounds would be epic.

I have a Rhino and I don't use a glove, I find it too slick. I'm not like some of those guys, but I do keep a microfiber cloth on my pool bag with CF. Sometimes it gets feeling sticky and I give it a good wipe down. I guess I do with wood also but CF seems to collect grime faster. It's easy to...

I've been 100% serious in my replies. Honestly if you're able to BNR even 25% of the time with BIH, you're probably 650+ Fargo and I have no advice. You're magnitudes better than me. The thing is though, and I mean this absolutely respectfully, with the other issues you're having and the...

Want to know a secret? The Outsville seems to be cut in a way where you can rotate it and use the bottom hole as the top. Rotate it 180 degrees once the front hole is wore out and it's basically a new rack. Sure it looks odd with the arrows pointing the wrong way, but the printed on...

So you can run a cosmo 30-40% of the time, or how often? Cosmo layouts only happen maybe 20% of the time. The rest you have to work your ass off for and you can still have a run ending error even on the most simplest out. Simplest out... there is no thing, as mythical as a unicorn!
