Can I get some more info on these cues? Shaft diameter? Weight adjustable? How old are they. I have a Schmelke sneaky Pete that has a scratched ferrule and is slight warped and looking to replace with something a little better. Thanks!

Very cool. Anyone know what kind of cue ray and mike s are using?? I was just curious if they were used the same cue from their heydey or if they had moved to modern technology. i just love old stuff!

thanks! i thought about the chalk box but my cloth is new and i was worried it would stain.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a laser i could use to make a straight line on the table for lining up balls to work on stroke. i have tried dental floss and it just is a pain. Thanks!!

budding straight pool player who somehow always plays position for shots that need a rake on accident. The problem is i dont have one!!! What would you guys suggest. Lots of them are cheap looking and i want one that is well made, works well and wont damage my table obviously. Do you guys...

I am still a beginner at this and recently got my own table so I am playing a lot. * Straight pool is my favorite game, but my stroke is inconsistent and I feel like I change it everyday, trying to get it down. It seems to come and go.* When I slightly change my eye position, arm, body position...

I love watching his videos. For some reason his "gentle" style speaks to me and gets me amped up to go play. It may be kind of random but he is my favorite pro to watg. i bet i watched all of the high runs of his about 10 times each. Silky smooth. It always amazes me that someome this good...

Just wondering how serious pool players take off and put on a tip. Is the proper way documented anywhere??? I have seen the cheapo kits at Dicks and Walmart, but what do you guys use? How do get the old one off, type of glue, clamp etc?? Thanks!

Just got my own table a couple months ago so really trying to groove a pre-shot routine, set, pause etc. I can hit some nice shots and can hit a very nice table length stop shot, but I am very inconsistent so clearly I have some mechanics issues. Looking at getting some lessons but trying to...

thanks for all the replies! i had no idea this was such a common issue and feel a little silly. There is tons of info on this. thanks!!

I posted this on the 14.1 forum and got some good info, but suggested I put it here as well. Basically, I was saying I have NO elbow drop and was wondering if that was something I should work on. Just got my own table and getting back into the game after not playing consistently since high...

Thanks!! Interesting. I will look up some of the players you mentioned. I really like Corey's stroke, that is why I noticed. My point was that I have no elbow drop myself. I usually stop my follow-thru as my grip hand hits my armpit. That is as far as I can follow-thru because the books...

Just got my own table and getting back into the game after not playing consistently since high school. My stroke is getting there but i am noticing my follow thru is not as long as some of the pros. i notice a lot of guys drop their elbow on a lot od shots after contact amd really extend their...

Looking for a nice cue as i get back into the game, but this is out of my price range at the moment. But bump for one od the prettiest cues i have ever seen. For someone that has never hit with a Buss, how would yoi describe how it plays?

No prob. Here are some pics. I got the wrong skirts so I am picking those up in a couple weeks, so disregard...

I was the one with this table and Jack and Todd did a great job! I am very pleased with the result. Jack was great throughout this whole process, telling me how to move the table correctly, recs on what to buy and everything I needed. I picked up the table out of a warehouse a couple months...

I guess I need to buy a caliper. It is none of the joints in the link provided. It Is a combo of 3 and 7. Flat face with no joint collars like number 7, but threads into brass insert into shaft and the pin is similar. I took a pic but need a computer to upload. Will do later. Thanks!

Ok, got it. Any idea how to tell what Scmelke joint i have and if there is a predator shaft that will fit it??

I have a Schmelke sneaky Pete that I bought about 10 years ago. It is ply, but the ferrulle is scratched a bit and shaft has slight roll. I was looking at new cues, but now maybe was thinking of getting a predator shaft or some other aftermarket shaft. Easier to compare. How can I tell what...

One thing I didn realize was that the slate/bluestone is attached in some way to a wood backing or mdf. Correct??
