You're good. The signature says it was made for Mazin FWIW. I didn't think Deickman was back in the shop. Thanks for the phone number although I'm not sure how that phone call will go.. :) I still have one of DD's shafts to play with and another made reported by Kyle Van den Bosch that fits...

I picked up a Deickman last week that has three shafts. One of them looks unplayed (tip looks played but the shaft is super clean) and is very tight threading into the butt (thread is on the shaft in case it was not obvious.) Thread measures the same for both shafts with a caliper. The...

Are they real McCoys? I heard there were a fair number of copies out there as well. I was concerned when I bought a personal set of them. I'll have to check mine but then my game sucks so bad, the balls are the least of it.. :o

Leave it to me to be a day late and a dollar short. I had referenced the tuzul club site a while ago but it was way beyond where I was at. I went back recently to check it out more closely and to my surprise it looks like all the instructional content is gone. What a bummer. TWC

My pool room for the last 6 years Quentin Corner Pockets in Palatine, Il is closing down. I need a new place to practice. I live in Mount Prospect. Any suggestions in the N/W Chicago burbs. I know about Rackem Up in Buffalo Grove. Chris's on Milwaukee is great but a PITA to get to during...

LOL!! Ferget I ass'ed. I'll figure it out. ;)

I prefer harder tips when playing pool, Sumo is my favorite there although looks like they are impossible to get now. For a carom cue for 3C I feel like I need a softer tip. Not sure what is on either of my two carom cues. One is really soft (Mariposa) and the other is very hard (Viguera)...

I guess more layers is more glue and glue is hard. Just guessing.

Well a day late and a dollar short. I follow and get emails but no I'm not a member. For that kind of money I could have become one and bought the balls too. (Well not quite..) That's a shame. I had no idea. They were already on their way from Neilsen. Hopefully they are what they say they...

Hey Jim. They are $138 for the Super Aramith Pro Spotted balls. I see Neilsen Billiards on ebay (joerackem) has them for $109 and I have dealth with them before. (Springfield Il). So I am probably going to go that route. Lots of pennies but I play pool with my own set as well.

It does. Thanks

Thanks. Didn't know they sold on Ebay. I will check them out.

I'm not talking about Kilbys site, caromcues.com. caromcue.com has a pretty good price on Aramith Carom balls and wondered if anyone has purchased from them in the past. Didn't find ratings or comments via google. Thanks

I thought Deno used to have a few better pics on his site of his Lambros. FWIW http://http://www.3cushion.com/On%20Line%20Collection/Cues/lambros.htm

Good points Bob. We lost a couple of low ranked players from the last session partly because of the frustration of losing most of their matches. The better players are happy as clams. And there are no where near enough folks to split the league. So I think we need to do something...

All. Thanks for the suggestions. I was subscribed to the thread but didn't get notified that there were updates. The system in use now rounds the players appi into a rating (ie .13 is a 10, .43 is a 40) and then uses a table to determine how many points the weaker player gets on the wire...

I have a tip for free lessons that I have mentioned before. Go into a room where there are some other 3C players. Get on a table by your self and set up the same shot repeatedly and miss it EVERY time. By about attempt 20, they won't be able to stand it anymore and they will all be over...

Anyone have any good handicap systems they know up for 3C given both players have a known lifetime average points per inning? Or do most of them work off a player "rating" instead of the APPI? Also, do folks track their lifetime APPI or do you cut it off and start fresh every now and then...

Prepare yourself for the pain.... :embarrassed2:

I pretty green when it comes to 3C but short of a zig-zag down to the corner, I'm not sure how else he would have shot it. His speed was perfect.
