Butts I bought mine for similar reasons. I like to keep original shafts pristine. I want easy and quick replacement plus the ability to have very similar shafts for different cues and joints. It has worked out well. In fact most of my cues have SS joints so one set of 314s get moved...

Small world Alf, Thanks for signing your book for me. I'm sure you don't remember but we have crossed paths a couple of times. I think the first time was at a room owned by Weldon in Tucson. You only visited the room a few times in the early 80s. The only reason I caught on was by your name...

The chicken politicians (of both parties) know how fix the economy. They won't do it because some people are gonna get hurt in the process and that will cost any supporting politician votes. Show me a politician with the guts to fix the economy, even if it hurts in the short run, he gets my vote.

San Antonio Robley, You might stop by a room called "Bananas". Not sure it it's still there but back then it saw a lot of action. For a good steak try The Chateau on the river walk. It's been owned by the same family for like 100 years. Nice romantic atmosphere, if you get my...

After a loss I immediately work on the shots and/or situations I feel I could have handled better. I have to practice until I know I have improved something, even if it's just my ability to asses the lay of the balls. When this happens my confidence is restored and I'm ready to play...

Liken' it The more people that watch, the better I play. I love it when the whole room falls dead quiet and watches. I don't know if it's because I'm such a ham for the attention or if I am afraid of criticism so I stroke and shoot the best that I can. Go figure....

This isn't the first over-reaching I have seen on a pool table. :grin:

Another practice game. One other game you might try that is a lot like what you are already doing is Fargo. You can google it for the rules. Rules wise it is simple and straight forward. It will give you a simple way to mark your progress and put some occasional pressure on you. Have more...

My first true custom was a pre-split Joss. Damn, wish I still owned it.

Lighting The most effective way to eliminate shadows is to spread the light source out. The traditional single light source down the center of the table is not the best for eliminating shadows. Consider spreading your sources towards the edges of the table. Obviously recessed lighting...

What's new? Cars drive better, guns shoot better, cues hit better, than 99.9% of the people that use them. :grin:

5 x 10 Sooooo........tempting!!!!!!!!!!

so far-so good My wife has never played the game. Not once. She has her own hobbies and I have pool. We respect and support each others interests, to the point where I travel with her to her conventions where she convenes and I find the local room. Or we travel to tournaments where I play and...

Lol May I suggest a new name for Blue Hog Ridr? How 'bout "Locked Out":grin: No harm intended!

Over rated? The most over rated cue? Mine !

Do you prefer phenolic (resin) or ivory ferrules and why? Do you think Micarta was better than what we have today?

Want to trade 314/2 (5/16-14) for 314/2 Uniloc (Samsara). Shafts are in good shape. If interested pm me. Thanks

When??? Did I miss it? What is the closing time for Jay's proof book?
