For me it depends completely on the cue. I wouldn't ever hesitate with initials, but a full engraved name might cause me to hesitate, depending on the tastefulness. On the flip side, as a guy who takes his cues out to play, any unique identifiers on your cue are a good thing if anything...

Thanks for the input guys - I visited my local cue guy today and we discussed and agreed it was probably a fix done at some point. It's way too short to be just a broken tenon on a ferrule or anything like that. So I either have an insert and rings to have another shaft made, or a shorter...

Sorry, this is not a which chalk is best thread - just a general question. If the best way to chalk your tip is to 'paint' the chalk gently across the tip and not to grind it directly with a twisting motion....why does chalk come with a divot in the center? It seems that this would just...

I just acquired a Runde Schön R-5 that came with 2 shafts. One is the typical micarta ferruled shaft, but the other one is different. It was marketed as a 'break shaft' It is 3 inches shorter than the playing shaft, and has what looks to be a LBM ferrule instead of micarta. It does have the...

1) make sure you are sighting correctly - there are videos on youtube that show you great ways to find your center of sight. 2) Make sure you are standing the same on every shot. If you have the laser level, line up a straight shot with the hole reinforcers, and also continue the line and mark...

The advantage to Facebook, I think, is a greater audience that deals more in lower scale cues. Lots of sub $200 cues exchange hands there. But, with a greater number of people comes a greater number of idiots. There are a lot of people out there that don't care if they rip you off and then...

Sold......

I read a review online that stated you are always put against those near your current skill level regardless of bet, so once you get a high rating you will always play the best. It seems the best way is to bet big early before you hit the stiff competition. Sent from my STV100-1 using Tapatalk

I got The pleasure of small motions and Capelle's guide to practicing pool. Both were on my list and I have a good wife. :D

Came across this, felt it was relevant, good luck to everyone with their 2016 resolutions!

The thing that is hurting pool the most is the lack of a players organization. Without that you won't ever get the exposure you need. Here in the Minneapolis area we have a great pool scene with many pool halls. Yet we don't have any of the big players coming here to play in one of the...

I think the table time charge is something rooms really need to take into consideration. While you might be competing against movies and other forms of entertainment, you also have realize what your direct competition is - the bar table. Using the rates at my local large pool room it's ~$8.00...

Three thoughts, and a disclaimer: I don't care either way in this debate, I can jump if I need to, and kick when I need to. Thought one: Can someone please explain why a jump cue is a 'crutch' and a gimmick and makes the game 'easier' while putting diamonds on the rail to aid in aiming and...

You have a basic misconception - Let's for a moment just go with the premise that your $500,000 claim is correct and can be proven. So you are claiming the pool players are entitled to a share of that. One major problem....there's no profit there. YouTube as a company breaks even or slightly...

They are only going 60 mph in that gif, but the custom tractor truck is cool.

Perhaps one of the streamers can be more specific about site by site problems, but the main issue is probably the internet service that your average pool hall has. Most internet providers do not provide symmetric service, meaning that upload speeds are severely limited to free more bandwidth...

To me this just looks like a good way to get your ass dragged down the street if you come across a cat.

I recently purchased a Rusty Melton case and contacted him directly about care. He recommended Bick 4 leather conditioner - which was good since I already had some for other leather items. Works great on anything that I have used it on.
