    Simonis & Humidity?

    Pretty sure RKC has been doing glue downs for quite some time now and it is a very much accepted method. As far as a difference in play between properly installed cloth using those methods, I would head to the Ask a Mechanic section. Personally, I would think that either method would play the...

    An idea for extra fundraising for AZB.

    If you didn't want to do a large run of shirts you could make the t-shirt available only as an option of a year gold membership purchase. You could have monthly, quarterly, biyearly, yearly, and yearly plus t-shirt options. That way the t-shirt would only go to yearly supporters and it would...

    Caught a Gear Today....

    Just tonight I was playing for a few bucks and ran out 5 straight racks like I was on auto-pilot. I have very rarely felt like i did tonight, just firing in balls without looking or thinking about the shot. After the first 4 or 5 shots (in the first rack) I just decided to go with it, even...

    Pull/Snag in Simonis 860

    You know, I didn't think much of it, but after I had Will Farrell over to play on my table, I had a couple of those snags in my cloth as well. My advice, don't ever invite Will Farrell over to play on your table.

    So much for ivory......

    How does this work exactly? I know I can't sell a cue with ivory in it and ship to an address outside of my state but what if I took my cue to a trade show in another state and sold it person to person? I'm sure that is still against the rules somehow but if I'm not shipping it and if it is ok...

    Which Of These 2 Cues Would You Buy??

    Unfortunately, I don't think he can trade the cards, as I thought he said in another post that they are linked to his account. Out of the 2 cues you listed, I like the Schon more, but if I can chime in on another cue in your price range... I really like looks of the Mezz zz-32. Just mentioning...

    Dumb questions on the forum

    Any spot that equals 16 doesn't need balls spotted. It is the same as a regular 8-8 game, just shifted.

    Is a second shaft necessary?

    I like having the extra shaft for many of the reasons already discussed. I also enjoy having 2 shafts made by the same person with the same specs that I can try different tips on. If you want to try a new tip and you don't like it ... bam, you have your original one still and can wait to pop...

    Table felt

    Simonis is worth spending the extra couple of bucks. The thing is, if you want to buy another quality cloth, you are only going to save maybe 30 or 40 bucks. If you looks at a brand that is 100 bucks less than Simonis you just won't be happy with it. So to get the performance you are looking...

    Why do the boots have five toes but the tracks only have four?

    What cue would you buy from Amazon for$650 or less?

    I like many from the Schon line, but that Mezz zz-32 is sharp looking as well.

    Tip Questions

    I think any smaller company trying hard to make a good tip is going to give a high quality product. I am sure Renfro's Ki-techs are great tips, although I have never used them (yet). I also suggest trying Tom Hay's Ultraskin tips, as I have used them and think they are amazing tips. They...

    Making Drills More Interesting

    If money is your motivator, you don't need an opponent. Set a goal using a point system for drills and put a buck into a bucket every time you do the drill and don't make your goal. Every time you match your goal, it is even. Every time you beat your goal by a point, you take a dollar out...

    Bank Ring Game

    That was honestly amazing to watch. The commentators were predicting one thing and Skylar was shooting another, almost every time, and still making it. He was shooting from his nether regions constantly and still making them. Was a great thing to watch and the best 6 bucks I ever spent...

    Looking for experiences with Philipino Cues shipped to US

    To add to what Skratch said, even if the ringwork is custom, you could have a cuemaker cut off the ringwork and put it on an OB/Pred blank. Heck, see if the original cuemaker will cut you a break on the price if you just have him make the butt and ringwork.

    First number I thought of as well, 250. Seems fair.
