3C = Three-cushion billiards, but I think the influence derives from Russian Pyramid billiards :) The upper of the two shafts I posted is a Carom shaft though! And it performes very, very nicely too! Even I hit a 3C with it sometimes :D The lower shaft is my main player for pool. It's very...

Here's another one: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=68541 It's an awesome player! :thumbup:

I'd say it's a Triangle or possibly a LePro. It could also be some other kind of unexpensive tip, but I'd also go as far as to say it's definitely no Elkmaster or Blue Diamond, because they look differently (different color). Actually I'm pretty convinced that it's a Triangle.

Looks about as simple as making your own cue shaft. Just take a piece of wood and turn it down. Maybe put on a tip. Piece of cake :thumbup:

I think cuetec cues play quite nicely. They have a little bit too much deflection for my taste, but they produce a lot of spin easily. They sound a little strange tho...

You won't be disappointed. Dmitry makes some excellent cues! :thumbup: If you want to see another example, just look at my signature.

3 would have been enough :grin:

Very nice cues indeed!

Earl should be the last one to complain about a little gamesmanship... :rolleyes:

That's exactly what I thought. They look to be very nicely made but some of the design-patterns are simply knock-offs.

Wow, Dmitry, what a nice splice! And I thought my cue was fancy! :rolleyes: But still I wouldn't want to trade it, I already love it too much! The spliced shafts really play top-notch. I took out the weight-bolts of the cue and with the FAT (over 5oz.) shaft you made for me it weights 20oz...

I clean my rubber wraps with moist toilet paper. Always worked very well.

Thanks! Thanks a lot, everybody! Your help is greatly appreciated! I'll check those places out and hopefully I can join the tournies! Sure would be a lot of fun!

Hopp Schwiiz :D A very nice looking cue! Very classy.

Thanks for your advice. I'll check those places out for sure!

Since I'll be spending my vacation in Boulder, 'Colorady' from 7. to 14. Feb., I's gonna ask you guys, if you know some good pool places there! I'd be especially keen to play in a local tournament to shoot pool and have some fun with some genuine american pool nuts :D ! It'd be great if you...

I find this method to be quite pedestrian. Just slide it down and when it stops start rolling it downward to the desired location. No need to take it off and turn it around.

Sorry, I can't help but to find this discussion utterly ridiculous. A great break shot does not require skill? Come on!

Thanks a lot for loading it up! Younger players like me really crave for those great videos you older guys keep hiding from us :D !

It's all about really roughing it up. Sandpaper doesn't help, the tip is too hard. I use a steel needle and make a grid of deep scratches. Gives the glue something to hold on. Then I use normal super glue. I installed 4 so far and never had any problems.
