    Tad Kohara

    I regret to inform the billiard world that today we lost one of greatest cuemakers the world has ever known. Mr. Tad Kohara has passed away. There will never be another cuemaker with his style and execution. He was a great cuemaker and an even greater father, husband and person. He will be...

    [B]FOR SALE: TAD "Hoppe" and Ebony, Ivory, Silver Robinson[/B]

    Here are 2 gorgeous cues up for sale. This is a package deal! I would consider splitting the pair but I'm gonna want the best of it if you just want to take the Tad. These cues belong to Rick (former owner of Best Billiards) and I'm just helping him post them here. I don't check my PM everyday...

    Tip Press

    Thanks for your input. I was planning on making one with a concave insert but, to me that defeats the purpose of pressing. If the center is still softer than the edges it will still flatten or mushroom after playing. We are not talking about an item that is going to sell thousands or even...

    Tip Press

    A lot of people like the way a pressed Elkmaster plays (including Efren) and once pressed they don't flatten or lose shape. But I agree a good layered tip will not need to be pressed and will play good from day 1.

    Tip Press

    It is smooth and doesn't twist the tip. and there is enough room inside to allow the tip to expand and not get stuck in the press.

    APA Vegas is a joke

    I was out at the APA Nationals also. I am a former APA League Operator as well. The APA stopped using the Diamond tables when Mark Griffin bought the BCA League as they felt he was now their competitor and didn't want to support his interest in Diamond tables. I'm only a 6 and I played 4 matches...

    wrap glue

    I have always used Elmers Carpenters wood glue. It does not breakdown with water so if you wet the linen to press it it won't weaken the glue. It also helps seal the wood under the wrap. I use contact cement for stack leather wraps.

    Wetting the leather should help it cut cleaner even if you are using the cutting tool on your lathe. Most of the installers here are using a razor blade and cutting the tips flush with the ferrule freehand. I recommend turning your lathe at a fairly slow speed for trimming with a razor (500-600...
