I find APA 9 ball to be over-handicapped. I have played 9 ball Scotch Doubles at the Nationals and it is even worst, they have a scale that favors the lower players even more. I do play one level higher at 9 ball than 8 ball, as do most players in my area, but there are always exceptions.

Special Order Diagram Good Morning, Here is a screen shot of a custom order, sorry for the blue tint, just how it photographed, makes the points look blue when they are actually purple. Also, I have been building cues with Steve since 2007, so this is not something new for us. Steve took some...

Custom Example I am unable to attach an excel file or copy and paste it to the forum. If you would like to email me I would gladly send you the attachment. Thanks, Dom

New Cues For Sale PRICE REDUCTION Greetings, I will be Steve Urate Custom Cues representative here in the USA and on our forum. I have received three new cues today. I am located in Florida, and all cues ship from my home. We will be taking custom orders, in which I will collect $0 from any...

Chalk shmalk.....does it really make that much of a difference? I have seen really bad chalk (and used it because it was there), but most reputable brands are the same to me. I use whatever is available, I blame miscues and over/under cue spin on my stroke, not my lack of or use of chalk. By...

Than you must believe your opponent won't just do this to you? I would make the balls you gave me and than play the safe on you if I could not set the breakout to be a high percentage shot.....just how I would do it...the idea would work with some players however.

First two generally your opponent will take in attempt to safe you. The third will usually get you the shot back......but really depends on who your playing as well as what they know about your game.

You may be able to get what your looking for at most Trophy and Award shops locally. Good Luck!

Kenny rewrapped my main player with a baby gator print 4 years ago, still looks fantastic. Have to turn it a couple times to figure out where the seam should be....highly recommend. As you can see where I am from, it traveled a great distance.....

We check our cues in a large cue case in a suitcase, and carry on the empty individual cue cases. Not to mention I purposly carried on a wooden cane to see what would be said......no problem with that......guess the ADA has some pull when it comes to possible 30" pieces of wood being carried on...

I just was told that Ron "The Red Fury" passed away in Manila yesterday of a heart attack. RIP Pinoy cue maker. I never saw his work, but he seemed through posts here to be a reputable builder. For those that do not know, he was the late Dindo Perez's partner, operator of Giant Cues Manila.

It's definitely APA been to Nationals many times with this league, including this coming August.

I know in 9 ball if you win a match in less then a certain number of innings (and that number is in the LO's laptop/ league program) you will be moved up a skill level. When I first started playing I went from a 5 to a 7 in two matches, the LO said the system will move you up if you turn in a...

Looking for a used leather butterfly case, one of the old Instrokes would be ideal, but would be interested in whatever is out there under $250.00 Thanks! Dom

I have been off the forum for a while and have seen the price of cues actually go up for many makers over the past year. New cue makers are a prime example, look at a few here on AZ....what they were asking for cues for a year or two ago and what they are asking for now (and there waiting...

Thanks for the offer, but let me clarify further, am not going to use these shafts for play, so I am looking for inexpensive $40 or less shafts that you would not play a rack with yourself. Just need a good center bore and at least .845 in diameter at the collar. Thanks!

I have a tube style Justis 2x4 with 2 8" pockets and then tip tapper holder. This is an older case but in about 80% condition. Looking to trade up to a Justis 3x6 tube preferably. The case is Jacks redish brown he used commonly with these cases with a nice amount of tooling. I am traveling this...

They are $30 each on eBay from carlscues and $40 from joerackem including shipping for all but the radial joint. I was looking for some cue builder mishaps and what not that someone may have laying around. If there is nothing out there I will get the ones I can from the dealers listed above and...

I am looking for three shafts, condition is not important just needs a minimum of .845 at the joint and must be tapped dead center. 3/8x10 3/8x8 (unlock radial) 5/16x14 piloted. Shafts have been purchased. looking for something inexpensive. Thanks, Dom

It was several years ago, but I was sent a cue from overseas using DHL with ivory inlays. Customs sent the cue to Fish and Wildlife in Alaska. I received the cue a few weeks later and it was visible where they penetrated the finish on the cue to reach one of ivory inlays. Either what was...
