    Are we seeing the end of wood cues?

    CF/spliced/laminated/torrified shafts all came into being to cut production overhead losses due to culling and the lower overall quality of the better grades of maple to produce a quality shaft. The splicing and laminating tech gave the ability to reduce overall stresses, separate or average...

    Backhand Aiming

    This is all correlation without causation. By your comments the cue would impart more spin if it were flying through the air being held by nothing during impact with the cb…..which is Completely false. Now what a pendulum with a light grip can do is to keep positive acceleration growth an...

    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    I wonder what’s gonna happen when science finds out plants feel pain, and have their own language of communication. Sunning your butthole and mountain air have no caloric value for what its worth. 🤣

    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    How’s he making assumptions? He specifically said vegan, you said you are vegetarian…and everything you outlined made it clear your not a vegan only a vegetarian. Color me confused lol 😂

    Tip shape

    The tip on the left has a nice nickel radius and a good shoulder The tip on the right has the same nickel radius on the top 2/3 of the radius above the “shoulder”….then it dives down the last 1/3 of the arc and rolls the radius OVER the shoulder…. The smaller the radius the more important it...

    CB Path vs Stroke

    Merely a result of their habitual deceleration and bunt stroking or that rubbery jab like delivery then snatching it in reverse pretty much instantly after impact. All that leads to inaccurate tip placement on the cb. Even when this does make tip contact as desired the resulting stroke is...

    Doc Frye and Balabushka connection

    Very doubtful being that Pete Tascarella bought his “shop” material and equipment and all not long after George passed from George’s wife. The only thing he didn’t take was some wood, Pete Sr. got all the unfinished blanks and whatnot. The ring at the A joint is very bushka like fwiw. Would...

    Doc Frye and Balabushka connection

    Doc used Pennie’s never heard of George using them….George died in 1975 and his last years of making cues they were his most fancy. The post is confusing I’d say it’s a Frye and not a balabushka….I’d be skeptical with the cue because the description is wrong regardless of wether doc or George...

    Doc Frye and Balabushka connection

    He didn’t work with or buy anything from balabushka. George bought materials, premade custom blanks and converted Brunswick Titlists into cues. He never sold anything but finished cues. He influenced Gus Szamboti and after gus began making blanks Doc bought points from him. Fryer...

    What is the best pool cue joint/pin type?

    About the only thing I’ll reach out and say can make a difference in joints besides the subjective feel, is the weight differential between joint styles and some of their collar constructions, as some joints are better off with certain types of collars due to the width of collar and pin. Good...
