    need help deciding on new case

    I'm not familiar with the JB case but, since I'm so pleased with my GTF case, I thought I'd mention it. It holds the cues very securely and it's bullet proof (but not literally). It's a lot lower in price too. Good luck in your quest for a new case.

    Female Billiard player requests your support!

    I'm surprised by the hostility shown to you. Normally the people on this website are quite caring and helpful. Hope you're able to raise the money for the tournament. Good luck.

    Cataract surgery

    I had surgery on one eye and then the other 10 months later. My vision was vastly improved and I felt safe driving again (I was probably a menace before surgery). But to my great disappointment, I didn't see any big difference in playing pool. I find that very surprising.

    Table Setup

    That is a beautiful table and if it were mine, I'd want the best mechanic in the area to do it. Please take your time in selecting the right one. Realkingcobra is one of the best and knows the business. If he recommends someone, then for certain they know the business too. I had Donny of...

    McDermott customer service

    Absolutely great customer service from them. Jamie is the guy responsible for making sure things are done right and he's a pleasure to deal with. Way back when I bought my first McDermott cue, the shaft was hard to screw on completely. I called and spoke to Jamie about what to do. He said...

    Mcdermott I-3 shaft?

    I shoot with a Schon CX-06 and the McDermott I-3. It's a great combination for me with the right balance, feel and hit. The 11.75mm tip allows you to hit the cue ball precisely where you want with geometric accuracy. I've tried the OB shafts and don't like the maple ferrule - it's distracting...

    Low deflection shaft for Schon, questions...?

    I've tried the Predator shafts as well at the OB shafts plus a few others. For one reason or another, I didn't like them (the finish, the ferrule, etc.). I now shoot with a Schon CX-06 and a McDermott I-3 with a 11.75mm tip diameter, a Moori soft tip, and a European taper. To me, the feel...

    Arkansas Burgers

    I read the following write-up in an article named "Best Burgers by State": ARKANSAS: Voted one of Esquire's Best Bars in America, Little Rock's Midtown Billiards has the best drunk food, too. The standard Midtown burger comes with your choice of sharp cheddar or zippy pepper jack cheese, but if...

    :: What's the Best Portable Tip Tool? ::

    When I die, they'll have to pry the Last4Ever and the Willard Shaper from my two hands.

    :: What's the Best Portable Tip Tool? ::

    I also use the Last4Ever tip tool. I used the Willard tip shaper for years until I purchased Joel's tool. Try either one - you'll like it.

    Random: Anyone play Backgammon anymore?

    I learned to play "Acey, Duecey" (which is a version of Backgammon very popular with sailors in the US Navy) when I was in the service during the Korean war. Have played it for years and think it's a lot more fun and exciting than the regular game of Backgammon. Still play both versions...

    Production Cues Or Custom Cues

    Excellent advice. Instead of spending a couple of thousand on a custom cue (which probably won't improve your game), spend a couple of hundred and have Scott Lee help you improve your game. I've wanted to have Scott help me for some time now but ill health prevents me that luxury. Good luck...

    ILC Cues by Lucky?

    C'mon folks, it's just a piece of wood used to hit balls in a game. $4K is idiotic. I don't believe that it hits any better than a cheap Players cue. You guys and your cues are something else. If it costs more that !k then it's fantastic. If it less than $100 it's junk. But Efren can mop...

    Jim Pierce got from BamaCues

    I also bought a cue from BamaCues. I'm a very satisfied customer. Bamacues always seems to have a really good looking cue for sale at a good price.

    Best Way to Clean your shaft?

    I think the best cleaning is done with Magic Eraser. Followed by sealing with Butcher's Bowling Alley wax. Good luck in keeping your shaft clean...

    tight 3/8 10 pin

    I think your best bet would be to have it re-tapped. Check to see if there's a cue maker in your area. I'd do it for free for you as I have a 3/8-10 tap. A cue maker probably would charge you just a few bucks.
