I sanded down a one-piece cue and it resulted in a bunch of white embedded in the cue. What can I do? What caused this? I figure its due to white sawdust and I need to sand it down. Comments? Yes, I am green and that is why I am posting here.

SSDiver posted these photos from a Sampaio catalog but they are terrible. Got better ones? ___

Cues by O.L. Briggs & Son of Boston MA made sometime between 64 and 125 years ago during that business's existence. The company was the son-less, O.L. Briggs, between 1870 and 1900. Click here for proof. The 16 and 17 ounce cues appear to be mahogany and maple, while the 18 and 19 ounce cues...

Becue makes it sound special and it does look good. From Becue's website regarding the Was butt: Wood applied to carbon as a natural veneer, a real layer of timber wrapped around the monolithic carbon fiber structure that defines every Becue cue. This is not a wood cue with a carbon core. The...

I have Briggs one-piece cue sticks made sometime between 64 and 125 years ago. This was the period in which the O.L. Briggs & Son company was in business in Boston. Can you tell me what kind of wood was used from looking at photos? The wood at the butt is darker in the 18 and 19-ounce cues...

Pro Moritz Neuhausen aims eyeballing the path from object ball to pocket with eyes not far above pool-table height and stands a couple steps behind pool table. His eyes go right and left of that object-ball path and back to pocket center. He then repeats this aiming but for the aiming line of...

Some photos from production cues do not show much of a glossy, lustrous finish. I am thinking of Schmelke, Jacoby, and others. Photos from some custom cuemakers, though, do. If I wanted to be sure that the cue came back looking with the shine of the cue from the shiniest custom cuemaker...

Miscues are most often caused by a bad stroke. Even with the best stroke, however, miscues occur where player hits too far from cue-ball center. It is generally accepted that the maximum distance from cue-ball center before miscuing is one-half of cue-ball radius (0.5R, 9/16", 14.3mm). Some...

The miscue limit is the furthest distance from cue-ball center that player can hit without miscuing. The distance is generally accepted to be one-half a billiard-ball radius or 9/16" (14.3mm) or 0.5R. Some billiard-ball stripes are that width. For beginners, a more practical miscue limit may be...

Nearby seller on Facebook selling a pallet of new cues. Selling by the box of 20 cues for $100. I estimate there are six boxes per layer and five layers to make 600 cues. Comments? __

I would like to try out McDermott's H-Series butt because only it allows one to adjust weights the entire butt length --- not like your typical cue with weights at the last five inches of the cue. Some new H-Series go as low as $600 but I am looking for something used and something less expensive.

Jack Koehler writes in The Science of Pocket Billiards that the pocketable size of corner pockets is the same size regardless of object-ball position: “The unique thing about corner pockets is that the effective pocket size remains the same regardless of approach angle. The target area shifts so...

How much of this Craigslist ad from Athens, Georgia is true? I presume the $125 is incorrect (maybe something like Facebook's $1,234 for sales of multiple items).

I would like to try out McDermott's H-Series butt because it is the only company that allows one to adjust weights the entire length of the butt. It is a little pricey, however, and so I am looking for a used one. I missed my chance a while ago where eBay auctioned off an H-Series cue with...

Amazon sells square cue tips for about $5 each. I used sandpaper and metal files to form the tip. It shaped fine with a Last4Ever tool. It appears to be some kind of layered ceramic material. A knife could scrape rather than cut the surface. The square tip barely scratched a phenolic resin...

I am repairing a shaft that had a slip-on ferrule. There was no tenon. I am making a tenon. What advice do you for doing this by hand --- for cutting the shaft to make the tenon, and, especially for ensuring the ferrule placed on the tenon is flush with the shaft? I cut the shaft first by...
