I actually prefer a narrow grip so I will definitely try a mid cue extension. Thanks.

I’m 6’4” & I’m after a cue that’s longer than the standard 58”. I’ve tried playing with an extension but I’ve not been comfortable with the extra weight at the back end. Are there any 60” production cues? Alternatively, what can I expect to pay for a merry widow custom cue?

Thanks a lot, this is starting to make a lot more sense now.

Thanks for this. I’ve seen the term “veneered points” in descriptions of custom made cues - can you explain a little bit what these are?

One problem I have in articulating my requirements is that I don’t know all the correct terminology. For example, what is the correct term for the thin silver lines inside the points in this picture:

I’m thinking about ordering my first ever custom cue & I have a few ideas about the design but I’m not sure exactly what information a cue maker needs & in what format I should provide it. For example, is it sufficient to provide a list of requirements such as type of wood, inlays, rings, etc...

I agree. I had BIH & none of my options were good. One option was to play through a tight gap, not great but I thought I should at least check it before ruling it out. Placed the CB near the gap, immediately saw that it wouldn’t pass through & picked the CB up to look for something else. My...

Rule 1.5 Cue Ball in Hand says “When the cue ball is in hand, the shooter may place the cue ball anywhere on the playing surface and may continue to move the cue ball until he executes a shot.” Is there a specific rule within the WPA rules regarding using the cue ball to measure a gap when the...

I was watching the GB 9 Ball Tour match yesterday between Jayson & Darren where Jayson fouled, the referee didn’t see it & the game continued. He was trying to play the 1 ball & it was partially blocked by the 5 so he could only see the left edge of the 1. The cue ball just grazed the 5 before...

Not sure I like the winner breaks format. Alex clearly deserved to win but considering how strong Shane had been breaking previously I’m sure he would have won a few racks if it was alternative break. It would have been interesting to see how Alex’s nerves would have held up if he was trying to...

I have a P3 Black no wrap. Will send photos if you’re interested.

7 months old, hardly used, Uni-loc, no wrap, $490.

The drills I’ve been doing have been to try to stop my elbow from moving away from my body. These include hitting an object ball down the centre of the table & having it come back to hit the cue ball, and also playing follow on straight-in shots so that the cue ball goes into the same pocket as...

Thanks for the advice, I will check my stance as you suggest. A 7-baller is when you win a rack of 8 ball & your opponent still has all his 7 balls on the table. It’s just a silly bragging rights thing.

I don’t live in the US but thanks for the offer.

I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years without ever being shown how to play & as a result I’ve acquired a number of bad habits, the worst of which is a ‘chicken wing’ where my elbow moves out to the side as I shoot resulting in the cue not moving in a straight line. Over the last year I’ve...

Thanks

I noticed recently that Predator sell carom cues - how do they differ from a regular low deflection cue? I’ve never played the game so forgive my ignorance. Thanks
