Allow me to first get the shafts before inserting my foot in mouth like I did with another cue maker earlier this year. They were very confident they could build what I wanted but the proof is always in the pudding. And much to my dismay, last week the first of the shafts I ordered in early...

Wait a minute….if I’m not mistaken, could that be Christian Neil, Lamar Neil’s twin brother, in this photo with Greenleaf?

I ordered two Kielwood shafts last week. I have a KW shaft made by this cue maker that another local player I know loaned me today. I didn’t know he had this shaft until the cue maker told me about a heavy version he made for someone last year in Fresno. I’m now playing with it and it is every...

Got my first one last October; just ordered 2 more last week. I went with a uncored design that’s just wood sans insert.

Hired a cue maker last week to build my KW shafts that will made uncored without any insert. He’s already built shafts like I want made and I got to test drive one of his KW shafts today. He referred me to someone whom he made a KW shaft for and surprisingly, it was someone in my town I already...

I am more than hoping he conquers his cancer. Jeanette Lee has been doing well from recent reports and Mika is just as much as a competitor. He doesn’t know quit and hopefully shows all of us he’s a winner in a lot more than just pool.

I could not agree more…….there would be Cortland linen on every cue I own if I could have found a reliable source.

OMG…..are pool players becoming so lazy that they just can’t roll a ball into different positions to shoot at? What a farce….you can’t change the shot until you reposition this monstrosity. It is intended for pool players that aren’t capable just rolling individual pool balls to pocket or bought...

And your point would be….that someone used an alias? Describing someone to be someone else or look like someone else is very different from actually being that person described. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would think that Willie Mosconi was ever known by a different name because...

Looking back at how the miscue occurred, would you venture a guess whether it was associated with not having sufficient chalk residue on your tip, was your bridge position comfortable, just a momentary take your eyes off the OB or CB or maybe just a brain fart that pops up every now and then...

A key piece of missing information is how many times in the 200 balls did you chalk your cue’s tip? Next would be what do you believe was the reason for your miscue? Then before you miscued, how many shots did you take without chalking including the miscue’s stroke attempt? Were you stroking...

I started to pitch this chalk on this Forum months back. It is better than V10, if not for its shape alone.

Bob……I concur completely….crappy chalk is just pure junk…..that why my remarks referenced TAOM V10. It certainly is not a cheap, inferior brand of chalk but too many players treat it like the original Henry repeating rifle. Load it on Sunday and shoot all week long. That rifle had to eventually...

Blaming the chalk for your miscues is like denying that your stroke was the reason why. V10 does not contribute to miscues. Not applying chalk more often and “correctly” is a reason and so is using too much English. I see this happen very often with pool players that use thin shafts thinking...

Dr. Dave, Hopefully you know that I am one of your fans and this is the 1st time I have to question you about anything. In your video, you made a statement about waxed pool balls. Generally I know the rules and most specifications about pool equipment. I cited the BCA rules years ago and WPA...

Sometimes good things still can and do happen for good people. However, this was a great outcome for a great person that’s more rare.

This past Monday I checked on the status of my KW shafts underway since they were supposed to be completed in July. The following day I was told the first shaft is just about ready to ship and the other shaft will follow quickly. But ……..there is always a butt with pool cues and also when...

There are two construction approaches that are dramatically different for building a KW shaft. One approach is an all wood shaft just like shafts have been made ad infinitem but the shaft is kiln roasted which involves torrefication. The other approach also uses kiln roasting but the front...

Do a Google search……compare the two joints for compatibility…..you’ll see that it may not be interchangeable.

I happen to disagree with most pool pundits and cue makers I’ve spoken with about building a couple of KW shafts. It’s taken longer than I initially imagined to locate a cue builder to tackle a heavier version KW shaft that needs to be uncored and sans any weight inserts. A flat faced wood big...
