    Diminishing shaft diameter

    Try a regular, plain Magic Eraser. Not a Magic Eraser that contains petroleum products or other chemicals. Use a SLIGHTLY DAMP Magic Eraser to wipe shaft, wrap and cue butt. If you get a lot of blue on the eraser, rinse it out before continuing wiping cue. After I clean the shaft, I use a paper...

    Players touching the table with the tip of cue

    Some times positioning of the cue ball in a certain position on the table, for shape, is necessary due to the lay out of the object ball. Like to see snooker or golf played on a 10/12 foot table.with none of these so called cheating aids.

    Players touching the table with the tip of cue

    If we all played without these"cheating aids', the pro would probably "still" be much better than most of us.

    What tips do you use??

    I am currently using a Pooldawg8 Milk dud tip on my regular shafts. I used LD shafts for many years, but have gone back to using a regular maple shaft. I really like the regular shaft with the milk dud. I removed my Kamui Tips from my shafts, except for a long time Predator Shaft that I left an...

He would then thoroughly vacuum the cloth using a horse hair attachment, that he had made to vacuum the cloth. After, they looked and played fine. I never heard of any after affect problems with this cleaning.

    Help: embarrassing joint question.

    To Clarify, to my understanding, UNILOCK is the brand name of the pin. UNILOCK makes 4 or 5 different types of pin threads for pool cues. The RADIAL PIN is just one of their pin types. There seems to be one type of their thread design that has been classified as "the" UNILOCK PIN. This may be...

    Moneyball-itis is killing my love for the game

    First thing I suggest is to stop the NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. You need to be mentally positive and practice the shots on the 8 and 9 ball that you are missing. Like the golfer who has to hit a shot over water. The golfers who constantly tell themselves, "Do not hit it in the water", will usually hit...

    are Predator cues really that good?

    I apologize in advance for any memory lapses. When I first began looking at Predator, they were only offering Predator Shafts. They were trying 6, 8, and 10 splice wood shafts. they would make a shaft to fit your cue brand and collar. One could mail in their cue butt or send in the cue butt...

    Pool cue knowledge in pool rooms

    In my area, I believe the lack of cue maker knowledge is a result of the decline in pool halls and players, tighter money, the major improvement in inexpensive production cues, and the low deflection shafts. Many years ago, it was not unusual to see big name custom cues in the display cases in...

    I installed a Pooldawg8 tip on my cue a few months ago. When I first began playing with, I did not have comfortable control with the cue ball. HOWEVER, the more I played with it, the better the control became. I am now super happy with the cue ball control resulting from the dud tip. I want you...
