My question is can this product be moulded in such a way that it could 'replace' a weight bolt ? If you could...

    Blue diamond chalk

    How do you rate it, you say your friend uses it - do you think he's mad to be paying that much for chalk when 95% of pool halls (over here that is) have blue masters for free as the house chalk.

    Aiming: Dominant eye or Binocular

    Billiards "sights to see" in Europe?

    Many rooms in Rome, my favorite is the 'Cotton Club', shame you don't want to play. As far as shops go I think you'll find the majority of europeans do their pool shopping online (i.e. US) as prices are lower. One exception would be Parris cues in south east London possibly the finest cuesmith...
