I have been working at my pool game for 2 years and it has been coming along slowly. I have been interested in 3C all along but having so much to work on with my stroke and pocketing skills and cue ball control, all of which still need a ton of work, I have attempted to try and billiards until...

I just looked at Hunters site. Looking at a couple of pics of cues there it is pretty obvious Joe Gold must have had and influence on his designs. A lot of similarity in the inlay work.

I am familiar with both of them. Thanks for the suggestion. TWC

I didn't even think to talk to Paul. I spoke to Joel Hercek at Joe Golds recommendation, but Joel said he didn't have the tooling to deal with Joe's thread pattern. I suspect Joel was probably a little too busy to deal with it as well. I haven't talked to Paul in while. I'll have to see...

I would like to get a second shaft made for a Cognoscenti cue. My first choice would have been to go back to Joe Gold but I understand that is not an option as he has closed shop. I don't necessarily need the ring work duplicated on the new shaft (silver stitched rings). The G10 pin and...

Well.. I think I got some answers.:rolleyes: Maybe I'll try again another time on the other questions. Thanks Tim

Yes, I currently own a cored cue. I have not owned a full splice cue todate. TWC

I have seen the term "Long splice" used as well. "In fact I think I saw it on the Arnot's site). Is this used to distinguish between a 2/3 full splice and "full fullsplce"? Also, is a "merry widow" a full fullsplice cue or a one piece butt with no points? Thanks for all your time. Tim

When a cuemaker talks about full splice cues, is there still a joint under the wrap or is the butt, wrap and forearm all one piece? When I see titlist conversion cues with wraps and a butt that matches the points, I always wonder if there is a screw or joint under the wrap. Also, I have...

Does anyone know of a source for 3/8-11 joint protectors in PVC, plastic or acrylic here in the US? It is for an Ed Young. 1 butt, 2 shafts. Thanks much for any ideas. Found some in Asia but nothing here in the US. Tim

Not to beat this to death but... I have been trying to play pool seriously for about 14 months now and play about 5 nights a week. Mostly drills and practice and some 8 ball league. Early on, a former champion billiards player extoled the virtues of wrapless cues and initially I didn't buy...

I have several, Coker, Samsara merry widow style. But I was mostly playing with a Willee all maple cue which was very nice. I would say the balance on the Drexler is better and the hit a bit more solid with a nice sound. The cue is very slightly forward balanced and most people guess it to...

All Just wanted to share a couple of pics of my new Paul Drexler that I got for Christmas. Took awhile, but it shoots great. This is now my everyday (Mon thru Fri, don't play on the weekends) cue. Paul did a great job. Curly Maple forearm, purple heart points with 4 veneers, Ivory rings...

All Someone mentioned to me that they were playing in a scratch league this season. I didn't want to look to stupid there, so I will look stupid here ;-) Anyone? TWC

I have started playing again with a linen wrap from a solid wood handled cue. The linen wrap seems very slick to me and I find I am grasping the cue a lot more. (Not good ;-) Is there something that can be done to linen wrap to give it a little more texture? (ie I have read here I think...

Greg Actually I was looking for something like nylon clips and did not have much luck. I remembered carrying some thing like it when I ran a sailboat supply store back in the late 70's. I couldn't find anything like what I remember at any of the sailboat supply places around now days. If...

Shakes. Thanks much for the offer. Let me see if I can come up with a good way to get the cloth to stay glued under heavy use. If I find one, I will get in touch with you. Very very kind of you to offer. This forum often amazes me. Thanks Tim

The cloth doesn't seem to stay glue to the wood under heavy use but maybe I need to revisit that. Do pool table mechanics usually have some cloth remnants left over after doing a table? Hate to buy a whole tables worth of cloth as I wouldn't need very much even with making 21 of these things :-)

Let me ask you this. When I get done the opening into the cue holder will be a "C" shape not a full circle. So players will lean their cue into the holder. I can install the ring in such a way that there is no issue with sheer strength. I just need the adhesive to stop the rings from rotating...

Thanks for the comments on the inability to hold glue. I would have gone with an all wood design except most people I asked indicated they would not be comfortable with wood on wood contact between their cue and a cue holder. That was why I was trying to come up with a liner that would be more...
