I took a 7 hour private lesson from Mike Sigel about a year ago. In spite of his incredible shot making ability as well as his freakishly accurate position play, he is a huge advocate & practitioner of simple patterns and keeping one's game, simple. Most people would think his abilities and...

if anyone can point me in the right direction, please PM me, I'd be most appreciative. THANX! -Z_

Depends, but all are stored in the upright position. My retired cues are in a 4x8 Whitten case right next to my Ruger Mini 14 (and I keeps one in the chamber, in case you pondering) in my firearm safe, in my bedroom's walk-in closet. My day-to-day cues are in a 3x6 Whitten case in my...

You mean one of these? That doesn't screw with the finish or raise the grain? I prefer this, keeps the boys from becoming malodorous,

I was looking around for a cloth to stash in my case with which to wipe down my cue. I like to keep that "smooth as glass" feeling on my shaft. Call me anal retentive or obsessive compulsive, but fingerprints on the finish of my cue's butt bothers me sometimes. Anywaze, I was thinking a...

I didn't know Triangle was one of the harder tips. I once tried a synthetic "guaranteed to never mushroom" tip and it was like playing with cement at the end of my ferrule. That's my reference point, I guess I do like harder tips, LOL. I like LePro's but I find they mushroom too easily...

I'm interested in purchasing a Schon SL 17 cue. Please note the model # is SL 17, not STL 17. THANX! -Z-

Call Diamond direct. I bought my Diamond light from them. They usually can offer you substantial savings over the price of their NEW lights by selling you their lights which were used in tournaments they sponsor. Nice guys over there. Good luck! -Z-

I was recently in a conversation with someone who was very passionate about the use of "Tip X" over "Tip Y". I have to be honest. I don't get it. I know I don't like very hard tips (too many miscues, requires way too frequent maintenance). I don't like soft tips because they mushroom too...

Personally, I like the idea. Seems so many people today are buying "Shafts Only", why shouldn't one be able to purchase "Butts Only"? It also might raise the bar in terms of the quality that some cue companies put into their shafts.

You're GOOD! Worked like a charm, \ Thanx! -Z-

I'm only getting the the Old School V-Bulletin look to the forum? Anyone else? -Z-

This is the most mint Gold Crown I've ever seen! https://baltimore.craigslist.org/spo/6131876075.html

Major score...and in such nice condition too. I love the cue rack!!! Congratulations! -Z-

I would imagine your issue occurs with cases that feature the non-structurally supportive sleeves to hold butts & shafts (see below) If you use a case that has a pre-formed, structured cylinder slots, I think your problem will disappear (see below) I use a basic Whitten Case and there's...

THANX GANG! OK, they do make what it is we need. The official term for the single nipple thing is "single pin" and the standard reference code is Fa8. So for Diamond Light owners, we're looking for 4 ft Fa8 LED Tubes. The bad news is the ballasts will absolutely have to be changed and...

I have a Diamond table with the matching light., It seems that the Light, or more accurately the florescent tubes, are not as bright as they used to be. Given they're the same ones since the light when in 10 years ago, I've deducted that it's time to replace them. So here's the...

Greg, awesome dude. Savor it! Best, -Z-

I've played on plenty of Gandy tables vintage 1988 and newer. Do yourself a favor and take a pass. That GC for sale is a much better table and a far better bargain. If you can't hook that deal up, talk to Diamond Billiards. -Z-

That's a STEAL! Good luck Ian! -Z-
