The main forum is for anything pool related so this thread more than meets that requirement. The seller may not get as many prospective buyers to view this thread in this Forum versus the For Sale Section where most people browse for cues for sale. So he may not get the viewings he’d otherwise...

My favorite expression after leaving myself hooked right after pocketing a really difficult shot is……OK, now what? Seems appropriate because usually by that point, I’m starting to talk to myself during the match but at least quietly.

Not sure how to answer you since words have different meanings and connotations to different people. When I think of slick, I racall different products I tried over the years like Q- Slick which was awful, in addition to others I’ve tried like Longini, etc. All of them were crap and the shaft...

Kamui Black Clear Soft…….holds TAOM V10 after application a very long time.

I had a old T- Shirt made that said that on the front. On the back of the shirt it said “ But Grace is a lot more enjoyable than Dignity.”

My stepdad told, taught and preached to me when I was a smart ass teenager one golden rule in pool. It had nothing to do with how to play a shot or strategy and it didn’t even involve using a pool cue either. CONDUCT……BEHAVIOR…….MATURITY……..DECENCY…….he taught me always win with grace and lose...

I periodically apply a light coat of Renaissance Wax to my cue shafts after wiping the shafts with a damp cloth or a cloth towel moistened with rubbing alcohol. The wax really leaves a glossy smooth finish that creates a coating. It seals the wood pores opened by cleaning the shaft. It is...

If the British Museum and restoration specialists internationally use Renaissance Wax to revive and protect furniture, art frames, ivory, etc., it should be ideally suited for use on pool cues, much more so than other commercial products.

Maybe…..maybe not……do you feel lucky?

However, in 8 and 9 ball there is no uncertainty on what ball you have to shoot at next. The only question is which pocket or play safety. Position play is obvious for your next couple of shots if you pocket the OB. In those games, 30 seconds is more than ample amount of time. 8 ball also...

Trob……I am playing for personal enjoyment……but I am paying for my time on the pool table. There is a cash exchange. I am buying my time on the pool table even when playing in a league, tournament ot just casual play. I am entitled to expect that the pace of play will be performed with some...

Slow play in pool is the most annoying thing and is just as aggravating when encountered playing golf. No shot in pool is so difficult you require more than 30 seconds to evaluate how to play it or what to do. If you do rarely encounter a situation requiring more time, take a timeout. There...

I don’t what cue butt you will be matching the KW shaft with and the borrowed shaft fits 3 of my cues. I’m trying to decide which it plays best with and all the butts are within a few grams weight of each other. That also applies to all of the cues in my case. For overall playability, the...

Promote interest and increased participation in 3 cushion billiards. Standardize the rules for all the different recreational leagues and please stop with making slop a legally pocketed OB in 8 ball (APA). At the same time, include 10 ball as a game (8, 9 & 10 ball leagues). Time clock...

Thanks but actually I’m still waiting for my shafts. This one is a loaner but it does fulfill all my requirements. In fact so much so, I changed one of my shafts from 12.75mm to 12.6mm which is this shaft’s size. I am not a fan of 12.4-.5 shafts but 12.6mm is one I’ve never tried before and it’s...

Vincett…….sent you a PM.

Here are photos of my friend’s flat faced KW shaft from the cue maker building my KW shafts. I expect my shaft could even turn out heavier. But 4.01 ozs (12.6mm) shaft that looks this nice would make me very happy. I’m going with a 5/8” ferrule. IMO, this shaft looks as good as any I’ve seen and...

Here are photos of the KW shaft I borrowed from a friend until mine arrive. I am very pleased with this cue maker’s workmanship. The shaft looks and plays every bit as great as I hoped; this shaft is 12.6mm, 3/8x10, 4.01 ozs. I already have a Barnhart roasted maple shaft (12.85mm, 3.81 ozs.) and...

For over a decade, probably a lot longer, I have posted on this website about the weight ratio of cue shafts and cue butts. I challenged others to refute what I wrote about all of the greatest names in cue making used this approach with the cues they built. Just go through the Blue Books of Cues...

I provided the collar diameter of my cue butt.
