    Like most things that get a name, they got bought in the thousands by Chinese re-sellers.

    Which is BEST cuecase? Whitten? Laara? Phi eastwood? Rusty Melton? Jill Hawk? Or?

    Just got given a Mezz NMZ-35 and the functionality, construction and weight are all very good. I don't think it can be beaten for the price (I got mine for free, but with no straps, so picked some nice ones up on Taobao and I am very satisfied) 3seconds is also right up there, though falls...

    how to travel with cues intl?

    My snooker cues are in an aluminum long case, which I wrapped and placed into a ski bag. Pool cue goes in a lockable padded bag I got for about $50 on Taobao, Just fits my standard case inside the bag as is. Probably AirTag it in future.

    Pool play that irritates you!

    Wait, I know this guy… 😂 There’s genuinely one guy who does all of the above, and another that does pretty much all of the above, both have giant egos and both I simply don’t make the effort to play anymore. Neither are as good as their giant heads would have them believe. Neither will play me...

    Ken Doherty's cost him a fiver, won a world championship, and he's still using it now.

    Shaft bending

    Some of the best are good because they bend. I have a German friend that uses a 30+ year old Joss as his break and player. Fantastic cue. Like a wet noodle if you give it some, but straight as an arrow.

    Peri 9 Ball Open - Oct 2-5

    Jeremy Jones, the famous European player. Non-playing captains is possibly the dumbest part of the spectacle.

    List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

    Right, exactly my point, and he could earn them with wood, carbon or whatever anyone else wanted to pay him to use. Carbon isn’t “future tech” it’s money in pockets.

    Are some 3/8x10 joint pins thinner then others?

    Yes, they fit Musashi/Adam - this is different from the 3/8x10 that is popular in the US. I do have some Musashi/Adam shafts that fit the modified pin, though they are quite rare to find. They are currently for sale, along with a fantastic Vigus butt in the ‘For sale’ section. You should peruse...

    Handful of 10ball racks this morning before I get the train and fully activate ‘holiday mode’ Very impressed. Good power, good control. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

    Expensive Cue Shooter

    Another perk of living where I am currently located, everyone is aware of CCTV to the point where they become more ‘honest’ - I’ve lost my phone or wallet and had them returned countless times (back when I was a drunk fuckwit 😂). I could leave my case unattended and know there are no sticky...

    Larry Vigus - Purpleheart and Curly Maple - Including 5 Shafts

    Been gifted a nice Mezz case, so will throw in my grey 3seconds case to the deal. Pretty much ‘as new’ condition.

    Larry Vigus - Purpleheart and Curly Maple - Including 5 Shafts

    That’s what’s kept me from listing it for sale up until this point. The ifs and buts… but it is a crime to have only used it once this year. It was meant to be my forever cue, but it’s been pipped by an opportunist, and un-ignorable, Zen cue. Unless, heaven forbid, something unholy happens to...

    I went for the Kamui Sai Hard, not a great picture of it, but very pleased with it. Probably placebo effect, but does everything I need of it at this point. Feels great, but I’ve only hit an hours worth of MR format 9ball breaks at this point. In the morning, I’ll give it a bit more muscle. Was...
