    Place near Greater Detroit to get OB pad or Shaft today

    Might even be interested in buying a cheaper cue with a OB Classic Pro shaft of whatever joint, ideally the 3/8 x 10 for obvious reasons. Who knows, I have a Ob Classic shaft that I have no use for [doesn't have a tip or pad on it right now] that I might be willing to part with at a good...

    CJ Playes the Ghost In Rotation.

    I wish I could take that game to work out with you on a regular basis. Since I moved to Detroit a year or so ago it seems like 9 ball action is really near nonexistent status. Most of the money games switched to one-pocket and finding a fair 9 ball game is a rarity. Sure would be nice to play a...

    Place near Greater Detroit to get OB pad or Shaft today

    Pad came off on my OB Classic Pro for a 3/8 x 10 joint. Apparently none of the cue repair guys that I know in the area have a replacement pad so I am hoping that someone has a quick solution. Unfortunately I don't have a spare shaft and would like to get a pad so I can have a new tip put on my...

    The little thing you changed that corrected everything

    I have had a great past few months as far as figuring out a few things and getting back to feeling like I am improving. Aside from the numerous "little big things" that I discovered, re-discovered, or just finally got to sink in, I would say that the single biggest thing was playing enough to...

    Sounds good. Thanks for the information.

    Tascarella Cues

    Does Pete Tascarella ALWAYS sign his cues? I have an older Titlist conversion that a friend had for something like 20 years and he always claimed it was a Tascarella and I really believe him but there is no signature or anything to link it directly to Pete. It is a very nice cue but I don't want...

    How long before you switch cues?

    I usually stick with the decision to switch and sell the old one once I hit them around a little with the new cue or shaft to see if I like the feel of it. That way I can't go back. You should get a general notion if you like the new or not pretty quickly. If it doesn't feel right I just get rid...

    Magic Chalk

    I am not carrying it anymore and don't know of any US suppliers who are carrying it. I sold the last batch I had to Tedantle, Aadamcyzk, and Poolchady. They would be the guys to contact for any. I don't know of any others who have stock remaining.

    FS:Magic Chalk

    That is a good price right now especially considering we stopped importing it. I don't know of anyone else importing it right now so if you like the chalk you should get it here from tedantle. On average it is pretty similar to Blue Diamond chalk.

    Product Ideas

    I needed an extension and the case pockets are too small and no other room for it so I made the most from what I had. The whole thing resembles me and your "out of place" statement fits me perfectly as well. Good thing about it all is that it is mine and noone out there could pass it off as...

    Thank You, OB Cues!

    I still have to send a shaft back to them [going on two months of procrastination] but they were very helpful on the phone and were pretty open about finding a remedy for the issue I have. Glad things went so well for you. Losing one shaft is bad enough but two must have been tough.

    slow play

    The biggest thing for me is to not start rushing my shooting to speed things up or to get overly aware of how long the match is taking. I don't shoot slow but for some reason I am susceptible, at times, of thinking the abnormally slow pace is reflecting on me and I can get too self-consciense...

    Product Ideas

    My case is sort of weird to most people but I took some extra deer leather and customized a cue extension so that it kind of looks at home with my case. Could be an idea, since most of your cases are higher end creations, to offer custom sheathed extensions if you find a brand you like.

    How do you deal with undesirable people?

    The poolroom generally isn't the place to get any pats on the back for working hard or really trying to improve your game so you will always find people who are going to try to get in your head or discourage you from improving. It will all either help thicken your skin or drive you out of the...

    How much per hour for table time

    In Detroit where I play it is $5 per hour on Diamond Pro-Ams during the day until 7. In the front part of the room on Gold Crown IV tables there is a pass rate that is $6 from open until 6 PM. Monday -Wednesday evenings is $8.50 per hour, Thursday through Sunday evenings are $10 or so per hour.

    Rematch?- Alex, Scott

    Scott was wearing some pretty loud Jordan attire for the match so maybe just find the witch and you are all set.

    What is it that you enjoy the most in the game of pool?

    Groupies. I keep trying to get better because I keep telling myself that one day all the hot chicks are going to think is hot and if I am the best player in the poolroom, at that time, then I will be the man. I keep waiting though, and getting older, so I hope it happens soon.

    Measuring pool ability and progress

    That reminds me of what not to do again. I became really disciplined once recording expenses and money I won playing pool over time. After 4 months of doing that I quit playing for 8 years. I won't be doing that again.

    Southwest mich

    If you can head east a few hours to Detroit there are usually a bunch of players of varying levels that will play that game.
