    If you live in Florida, you can get ivory from CueComponents.

    strange opinion plus question

    No, no, no. You need the latest and greatest painted Predator bullshit to be your best. /s Seriously though, find a cue you like the looks of and play with it. If you get half-way decent, you will adjust to most anything you pick up anyway. If you like, upgrade the shaft later.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    You can still get one made to your specs; it would just have to be from a lesser-known maker. I had one made for me last year from a local maker for less than $1000. There are definitely other options available, either new or used. Obviously, you can find one here on AZ in the for-sale...

    Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

    It's wild to me that some of you folks expect a lesson from one of the best players in the world for $100. I don't think I can't get a PBIA certified instructor in Austin for $100/hr.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I've got a friend that says he used to be a Southwest dealer or promoter and has like 10 of them. I've shot with two or three of his and they play well. I was surprised how much I liked the ebony nosed one he had. It was heavy and hit like a freight train. Like you and outside of an 18yr...

    Roy Billiard Cue Repair Machine

    Search for a metal lathe like this one locally: https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-x14-Benchtop-Variable-Precision/dp/B0DLNK42SM One caveat is that you will need to buy/build something like a steadyrest to support the shaft on the rear side of the chuck. It needs to have a bore in the chuck of 23mm...

    FREE Action Stream.......starts tonite

    I get it that he needs that in the DR, but the towel every other shot is odd as well. I'm also at the point where I have muted the commentators. I am not enjoying those guys for the most part.

    Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

    That's a hot take, lol. I would have zero problem with it if he broke and ran the whole damn thing as long as I got a picture with him.

    Advice: Whyte Triple-60 Carbon Shaft w VQR

    I can't tell you they are exactly the same thing, but Whyte made the Spartan CF shaft. It also takes the Whyte inserts and is $200 cheaper if just having the changeable inserts is what you wanted: https://www.pooldawg.com/spartan-victory-carbon-shaft-12-75mm

    Roy Billiard Cue Repair Machine

    It's basically the Sparkcar repair lathe: I seem to recall it not reviewing very well. Here's a prior thread on the subject: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/affordable-lathe-to-put-on-new-cue-tips.515618/

    How to find another member here?

    I think it basically is in order, there's just a ton of usernames. I did a brief search to see if I could find a search syntax, but there's not a lot of info out there for Xenforo. Perhaps someone that runs the site can shed more light on the subject.

    Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

    For $100? Absolutely. I've spent more on less memorable things. Hell, if he does the same thing at the Texas Open 10 ball tournament next month, I will do it. I have no illusion of winning but maybe I get a rack off of him, maybe not. Either way, it would be worth the experience...

    Consider putting a linen sound buffer tip pad on as well if you are going to replace the tip anyway.

    Or OKHealing on Amazon. Same thing probably.

    Good amateur bar table 8 ball

    I'd argue 650+ Fargo players in a race to 5 even going hill-hill should take 60 minutes or less.
