    Do carbon fiber cue shafts make custom cues obsolete?

    The rogue is a very heavy shaft. 4+ oz. Other carbons definitely change the balance point backwards, but the rogue shouldnt really. If anything it balance points goes fromt heavy ;)

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    Let me tell you a story. I work in IT healthcare and years ago one of my IT security guys and I sat in on a demo for the diabeties clinic. They were demoing a touch screen with medical training material for patients. This thing was slick for its time and the vendor has loaded it with...

    Huebler afficiados - any details on this cue ?

    One of my best friends worked at dufferin. I followed up with him, and he said he recalled this had been done just before he started but had never seen one of the cues. I havent heard of any dufferin specific halls, but they definitely had halls that only used their tables and installers. Very...

    Huebler afficiados - any details on this cue ?

    Thanks. Most of the bacote i have seen is not as solidly dark as this one, but when i look at it closer that could be it. I do see some lighter parts here and there in the points. I was wondering if anyone had the specs on it from the catalogue. I could match the picture, but no details.

    For your Pleasure, best personal Memory, Why

    My uncle had a pool table and was a physics teacher. He had MS and couldnt play once he was in a wheelchair, table was in the basement, but when i visited in the summers i would bang balls around for hours not knowing anything about the game. That would be 40+ years ago. Picked up the game...

    Fedor Gorst and the Viking Sponsorship

    I use cue silk after cleaning my wood shafts, since it works like a wood sealant. I am not sure how that would work with CF since cf doesnt absorb it. Your glove would absorb it. Doesnt it get messy and all over the place for you ? Glove hand is bridge hand, doesnt it get on and stain the cloth ?

    Huebler afficiados - any details on this cue ?

    I know ;) i am visiting family 4 hours away, and i check second hand apps like kijiji and what not to see if anything neat is available. Found it posted and went to pick it up. I love the old cues. Hueblers are just not common in the area so i am not familar with them, whih is why am asking.

    Huebler afficiados - any details on this cue ?

    Hey folks. From what i can find, this appears to be an as-2, but i couldn't find details on what the butt wood is, or if it was a full splice or not. I also read on some old threads that Paul made some cues for Dufferin which only sold in Canada which is why it has both hubler and dufferin...

    Love Full Splice Cues!!! Can i see some Full Splice Cues? Love the fancy ones!

    How about a sugartree full spice ? Not very fancy but with the added bonus of Erics arm while it was being finished in 2018 i think it was. Cocobolo/maple, rings at bottom, joints and shafts. It was a rounceville blank he had. One of my main players for the last 5-6 years. This is one cue that...

    Custom Cue sales?

    Age 48 here, started collecting iny early 40s. I bought what appeared to be a 1940s first run of the willie hoppe pros, when Herman made them. it was pretty beat up. Ariel converted it for me during covid. It was mostly reuseable, but required a 3 or 4 inch section of maple inder the wrap to...

    Physics That is More Beautiful Than Any Trick Shot?

    You must play on a really short shot clock if you need rollerskates at the table.

    2024 World Pool Championship

    Also to add, when games are streamed or played on tv they need to fit into a specific time duration. Moreso on televised events, but one the main reasons those clocks are there is to ensure the event remains on time. No one wants the programming schedule to be thrown off.

    Dufferin green leaf emblem?

    My buddy use to work at dufferin when they were making them here in canada. I think posted something years ago in the canadian forum that isnt used much here. Anyway, the emblem doesnt really mean anything. They tried to standardize a colour for a specific model for consistency but you can...
