I'm thinking the guy running the tournaments here is probably a league operator and based my starting rate at 397 considering how I fell flat on my face my first tournament?? My rate has gone from 397 to 400 but robustness has not changed ? Thinking that after my last tournament everything...

Thanks.

After my first match a couple months ago my first rate was at 397 after my 2'nd it went to 400 where it has stayed... The last tourny was only a couple days ago. I will give it a few days and check again. : )

After 18 years of retirement a friend talked me into playing pool again. My first open tournament that is held once or twice a month at a local bar/pool hall I fell flat on my face and was given a 397 rating. I have shot in 3 tournaments since and each time working my way closer to the money...

Maybe Walmart will have his perfect cue?

I have been using Ultraskin Ivory tips lately and am very impressed with them. I also have a Bulletproof Recoil tip that I will be checking out soon.

The Ultraskin Ivory are pretty awesome tips... and you won't find a better price on a quality tip anywhere.

I have found that to be true as well, and I also like the feel on the shot and the way they hold their shape and require minimum maintenance.

Thanks for your input. I will be placing another order and will be stocking up on various Ivory tips.

So far my favorite tip is the Ivory Medium. Does anyone here have experience with the Ivory soft? Wondering how well they keep their shape.

Ultraskin Ivory soft or medium are both good choices

I have been using the Ultraskin Ivory medium tip and really like it. It holds it's shape well, holds chalk well, doesn't need much attention, and I like the feel and sound on contact. I will be trying the Fire medium next to see how it performs.

Your skin contains oil so wiping with your hand is not recommended.

I haven't tried the Ultraskin Ivory soft yet, but I have the Ivory medium on my Meucci and I really like the feel and action I get from it.

Pretty awesome out.

Composite materials probably won't warp over time... They will probably just break down and decompose over time. 🍿

As stated... nature of the wood can cause issues... not limited to user handling. I have witnessed kiln dried wood warp overnight for no reason or warp years later.

All cues are subject to warpage due to the nature of wood as well as storage habits. Even with the best technologies issues can still arise. My Meucci from the 1990's is still straight as the day I bought it.

I spent a few years working in a cabinet factory building cabinets and furniture. I built a chest of drawers for my wife from quarter sawn oak and it is beautiful. I appreciate the look of beautiful wood grain and am a big fan of stained birds eye maple.
