I took a trip to Schmelke's store/shop with Reuben Fisher a couple weeks ago. David gave a tour and while walking through there I saw a blank that looked really cool. I ended up buying it... Met a few of the guys working there. They do about 200 cues a month now. Back in the late 80's they...

I'll take the 3/8-10 2". PM sent

Thanks for all the help guys! I'm going to try to implement these things into my game. I'm also going to try to put in some more time on fast tables to see what method works best. I know I can get there, I just need to shorten the learning curve so I'm not out of the tournament before I...

I spent some time watching Jesse Engel play and he has a very smooth soft stroke. Also uses a soft tip and you couldn't even hear the tip contact the ball. I talked to him a bit after a match and he comment about letting the English do the work.

Good info! Thanks.

Very true! I recently played in a 3 day event with 9, 8, and 10 ball. I only had one win in the 8 and 9 ball, but Sunday in the 10 ball I made it 2nd place. took me that long to adjust my game, but I mostly tried to have more straight in stop shots to avoid letting the cue ball go which helped.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess I never really thought about shortening the stroke to lower the power. I'll give that a try.

All league season I shoot in bars on what I would call medium to slow tables. Then tournament time we play on fast tables and I have a hard time controlling cue ball speed. If I let up on my stroke I really struggle with getting the cue ball to react the way I want it to. I understand this is...

I say we play on the 9ft Rasson with new cloth, balls, in a vest with dress shoes and a quiet crowd when it's held in Europe. In the US we play 8 ball on a 7 ft Valley with one dead rail, a tear in the cloth and some obnoxious Jukebox music, wearing flip flops, sweat pants and an old t-shirt...

download a db reading app for your smart phone and see how high it goes on a break shot. I'd be curious about the reading.

WOW! There are some really great looking cues here. Definitely gave me some ideas. Thanks!

thanks for all the replies and pics! Some great looking cues keep em coming.

Hey all, I'm looking at having a custom cue made and I like the color orange. Anybody have some pictures of cues with orange wood or perhaps orange stained wood. Chakte Viga, Padauk, Osage, etc... Thanks! Jerry

Why won't a guy from IA date a girl from MN after she's been out with a guy from WI? Ever see a gopher hole after a badger gets done with it?

I have a 30" Made by Reuben Fisher. It's 3/8-10 with black collar and has a Ultraskin Heavy Hitter tip on it. I'd have to measure because I don't remember if it was 13.25mm or 13mm tip. $100 shipped if you are interested.

I think I remember in one video the guys in the booth said that he has some sort of "lead" wrap on the very end of the butt. Thought they said it weights 23-24 oz. I've tried to watch the videos close, but I can't tell what it is. It's just slightly larger and different color than the rest of...

I think it has more to do with who is on the TV table. It was standing room only when Earl was on it. And when Corey would win on the outer tables Thursday night you could hear the crown roar... people just are not there to watch the players they don't know. I love pool, but I find it hard...

I think Earl demands 100% from himself and when in a team setting, he expects that of others. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I feel there have been times in the past where some of the American team members have taken the Cup too lightly and didn't give 100% and that did not sit...

Look at the reviews of the Schmelke cues on here. they make an excellent cue for the money and are great to work with.

I ordered a "The Pro" shaft in 30" length with an Ultra Skin tip from Budget Billiards on March 30th and it was delivered today. Can't complain about that. :)
