    Creative thinking needed

    We play 8 ball with 3 people. Sort of like king of the table, but you can only be at the table for two games. This means you play all 3 people and every third game you sit. Sitting 1 in three games is nice. Especially if they want to get a drink, a smoke or bio break. Keeps the games...

    Is $169 a bad price for a CF shaft?

    I am in for one. I tired a becue shaft recently. I was extremely impressed. My favorite shaft so far of cf. Very solid hit and more natural sound.

    Custom Cue, what makes it custom?

    They are still customs in my opinion. Possibly not as desired but custom.

    Custom Cue, what makes it custom?

    Production cues are done in mass quantity. It can be argued the QA is not as high due to the volumes. There is nothing unique and you have no idea who had a hand in making it. There is some customization from manufacturers. Wraps, tips etc. I wouldn't call adding a wrap to production cue a...

    My first and very likely last real custom cue

    This is how it starts. Just one custom, one time. Then you think "it was a good experience, no harm in another" .. then 5 years later you have more cues than you know to do with, your bank account is dry, people are having interventions for you and you end in cue addicts anonymous. And the...

    Vintage cues website

    He was very helpful when i emailed him. He matched up the cue i had by the decal and signature to get the years they were made. Just cool history as well.

    Can cue silk seal a wooden shaft?

    Might be best to ask in The cuemaker forum. It is listed as a cleaner and sealer. I use a drop as the final thing i do with cleaning my equipment. I wouldn't consider it a sealant but someone who understands that better than i may correct me. Makes the shaft extremely slick. It is...

    YOU MAKE THE CALL – Are These Pro Shots Fouls or Not?

    Agreed. This the one i got wrong. It really looked like the cue ball came off the rail before the ob moved.

    Wanted: cue maker for conversion

    Is it a blank or is it a cue conversion ? Some makers don't conversions anymore but will do a cue from a blank you provide. Kelly at MVP does some nice work and i think is on the forum. Andy Gilbert i tried to get a hold of, but was not able to so you can try, but might not get a response. I...

    High end custom cues?

    I collect 1 or two a year. Never the super high end, but i like to try different makers to see how their stuff hits. I alway play with what i get. I keep it a hobby, meaning i try to break even but will take a loss for a friend who likes it more than i do. You might lucky and make a...

    anything or nothing?

    I recommend tipping the staff every time. It will go a long way. They might "forget" some of your table time after while. Find a friendly regular/mentor who enjoys shooting and interested in getting better and if possible set a regular schedule to play. Not whats in your case, but how you...

    My friend got ahold of his late Dad's Gus...

    If your friend is planning on selling maybe Barry sells it on his behalf. That creates the escrow and if sold from Barry then it authenticates pretty easily. I dont know if Barry and i dont know if he would be willing, but i know other makers that sell on behalf of people. They have buyers...

    Trouble shots.... Tor Lowry

    I always liked his videos. Easy to understand and he has a logical approach to go from beginner to advanced. His starter videos about the basics and stance was very helpful to me 8 or so years when i got back into playing.

    Adding wrap

    Would it make more sense to sell the sport wrap cue, and buy one with wrap you want ? The cost of the work is probably the same difference or close to it.

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    And good to see you are out and playing after the heart attack. A good team makes the difference for me. I don't mind losing if the folks i am losing with are good people.
