Thanks for the post. I would like Efren to coach me too, but I won't wear a bikini.

Haven't heard too much about the Mosconi Cup lately. Any new information?

I have a set of Super Aramith Pro balls. Excellent balls that clean up very well with Aramith Ball Cleaner. Still look like brand new. I think that if I were buying a new set, I would buy the new Aramith Tournament Balls. I like the look of the set and they are supposedly harder. Good luck...

You Sir get a greenie and have a great sense of humor. I have to try this next time I'm playing a tough opponent.

I was also distracted by the maple ferrule on the OB-2. I use a McDermott I-3 and really like it. A small white ferrule seems the best for me.

The long drive to a cue maker was the very reason I started putting tips on myself 5 years ago. I did it by hand for a few months and then saw a thread where a shaft spinner was described using an electric drill and a crutch tip. That really helped me putting tips on like a professional. You...

I played with a McDermott I-2 shaft with a Moori medium tip for about 6 months and really liked it. The I-series shafts have a carbon rod in them and I believe that gives you a very solid hit. Then I bought a used I-3 shaft which is my current playing cue. It has a Moori soft tip on it. I...

I'd plan to do it all by hand and not buy a jig. I could be kidding myself but I'd like to give it a spin anyway.

Thanks for the link Blue Hog Rider. Took a while to start but well worth waiting for. It contained a lot of good information. It sure would be easier with the jig, but it looks doable without it.

My son and I play whenever we get together. He's 47 now. When he was 8 and his brother was 6 I bought a cheap pool table for Christmas. Both boys loved playing on it. Two years later I ran across an old 1922 nine foot Brunswick which we refurbished. Pool is a great game and I enjoy playing...

Although I'm an Allison Fisher fan, Kelly has always impressed me with her game. She's a great shot maker and a fierce competitor. Congrats Kelly.

I've been playing with a Schon CX-06 with a McDermott I-3 shaft. The shaft has an 11.75mm tip diameter and a Moori Soft tip. It may be mental but I feel I hit the cue ball exactly where I want to with geometric precision. When I play with a larger tip, i.e. a 13mm, it just doesn't feel right...

I would greatly appreciate seeing the video. Thanks so much for the offer. PM'd you my e-mail address.

Thanks for the info Tom. I assumed the linen wrap would be about the thickness of the leather wrap. I may be out of luck unless the wrap is close to the same thickness. If needed, I could sand the wrap area down a little but not much.

I'm looking for some advice on how to apply a leather wrap. I'm not in the business and I'm not looking to be - I would just like to try my hand at it. I've been doing my own tips for years and built a shaft spinner (electric drill and cane tip) based on info read on this Forum. I was lucky...

As some people have mentioned, I can find no difference between the pre-flag and the flag Master's chalk. I do see a difference between the green Master's and the blue Master's. The blue Master's leaves marks on my Aramith cue ball where the green doesn't. I've been playing with Master's...

I don't mean to hijack this thread (apologies to a503) but I saw your comments on Cue Components. I browsed E-bay about two weeks ago for layered tips. Cue Components was selling Karomi Med (12 layered tip with hardness rating of 65.4) for $2.00 with free shipping. Well I couldn't resist. I...

A while back Jim did three separate wraps for me. His work was excellent. He sent me pictures of different wraps draped on my cue so I could decide which wrap I liked best. He was easy to work with and communicated very well. Then I heard he had some health problems. I don't know what...

In my opinion too. Does a really great job racking the balls and I enjoy the sound. It's music to my ears.

Good advice. Stop playing Mr. Nice Guy. You'll lose in the end. Time to take off the gloves and do a little bare knuckle/gouging fighting. And don't worry about his reputation - worry about your money!
