    One complaint I don't care for

    Every professional or great amateur player I have ever known never fusses about such things. Not once. If anything, it's just funny, and they move on because with proper consistency, the better person will win in the end.

    I’ll look him up. It was 3/4 jointed. Edit: I looked him up. (Mike Wooldridge) and am fascinated at his ferrules, and the joint for his cues.

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    I like this. To be fair, the ash snooker cue was a powerglide, and I just couldn't get used to the hit. I'm not sure if I had played a bit with other makes such as a John Parris. I priced out a one piece at about £1,138.00. If given the chance, I'd give one a try, but he does offer a full...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    Yes. I’d go for that. I’m no fan of ash and brass. The sound is excruciating to me. Not sure how titanium compares however. On my other cough snooker cue I had a 9.5 tip with phenolic ferrule and conical rock maple shaft. Insane feel.

    This. This right here. The game and life in general.

    Deflection is affected by a number of factors in a shaft. My old Bender shaft had a more stiff taper and shorter ferrule. Hence the low deflection. But the shaft was standard rock maple. Southwest I can only imagine having a similar focus on the stuff hit. I could be wrong but so would...

    I expect the best of my opponent, even by accident. The challenge is a gift to rise to the occasion.

    The old 'hit it towards the water, but "accidentally" bounce off a rock onto the green 1 foot from the pin trick'... Ah yes...

    One complaint I don't care for

    If a good player misses a low percentage shot, they are playing the poor lie after the fact. It should be absolutely part of the game, as it is with snooker. Or, moreover, when there isn't a clear shot for a break out, then an intentional 'negative play' or snooker should be expected and...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    I replied once, but thought I could do much better, so after some consideration. "Everyone is trying to buy a game." This can't be more true, if we were playing golf it would stand out far more (imho). I've been away from the game for 20 years, but even back then, there were novel ideas in...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    I guess I’ll find out. :). If it sticks to the tip as billed then as long as it’s not over applied I should expect less transference.

    It arrived a while ago, but I don't know when I'm going to get out to give it a try. I'm also thinking of sending my cue in for refinishing / repair. Until then. Here's some chalk porn.

    Cheap layered cue tips with free shipping

    Reviving a 4 year old thread because: It's time to get some tips, and the World Snooker Championships are on. I've read 80% of the top pro snooker players are using Cuesoul Tips. It thought it odd because if you go to the web site for Cuesoul it doesn't exactly inspire you to think they care...
