current main player- Joss custom 2 joss shafts original tips

I am currently using a Joss custom as my playing cue. I bought it at Turning Stone last January. Took me a little while to adjust to he hit/feel. It has stainless steel collar and pin into wood. No brass insert in the shaft. This creates a softer feedback but still relatively stiff hit in my...

Beautiful table I know tournament blue is now the standard but I’m still a traditional green guy, esp with GC’s. But damn I’m jealous.

Where's my next stimulus check when I need it lol. wish I had the cash to buy this beauty right now. Joking aside that is a great looking cue someone will be getting a fantastic cue. I doubt it lasts long.

[Of course there is nothing to prevent someone from sawing off the legs of a snooker table or putting stilts on a pool table. I once played on a pool table where I had to bend way down at one end and stand higher than usual at the other end. It's better not to install a pool table on a hill ]...

greatest pool /shot moment one of my favorite games / moments etc was playing the recently deceased NBA player Cliff Robinson. I posted the story in another thread here. Here is the short version. Cliff was back in Buffalo and at my local bar playing. he and I got into a game. We ended up...

short answer sure probably would take a while to gain any true proficiency. long answer I shoot lefty but am naturally right handed (left eye dominant). when I was a kid and my father saw me shooting left handed he told me to practice with both since I did everything else right handed...

What is a good or average price for a used valley bar box ? Likely needs new cloth. Cushions I hope not ,.... next question i....does anyone know how much a valley bar box breaks down? I've seen video of removing and recovering the slate. I'm curious does the cabinet of the table break down or...

The NBA all star This is my favorite story to tell and even all these years later. some facts may get lost or grow bigger over the years but the story is true as best i remember it. It's not my favorite because it was the biggest score ( though it could have, should have, would have) but...

Thanks Hu, I have a few stories, most similar to that one. when I have a few minutes I will post my favorite it involves beating a former NBA star.

first story I like to say I don't have a memory with out a pool table having been around the game since I was standing on a stool in my grandparents basement to throw balls around he table. Later using the same stool with a house cue cut in half. Graduating to beating old men out of quarters...

So i am with out a pool table during the current quarantine and missing pool very much like many of you I am sure. I was thinking of cleaning my shafts and cues just general maintenance shape the tips etc. What products /techniques does everyone use/recommend for cue/shaft care ?
