Thanks for the input Michael, unfortunately for me theres no one local to take it to. I'll try the vice idea once I can locate a vice! Been meaning to pick one up.

Hello fellow AZ'rs, my question for the cue makers is....can the weight bolt be changed on a josswest cue? I purchased a 1988 Stroud cue and it's a bit heavy for me. I managed to remove the rubber bumper and the weight bolt has a slot for LARGE flat head screwdriver. I tried to loosen it but it...

That was short, but funny!👍

SugarTree Twins Cue

1988 Bill Stroud Josswest 1 of 1.

I know this is a old thread. But I have spoke with Eric many many times in the last year. I too am a SugarTree cue owner. I can tell all questioners when it comes to hit being consistent, no one has mentioned the reason cues have different "hits" or "feels". I'm leaving the shaft portion of the...

Thanks guys for the info I knew it would be in the thousands. With a 40+ year career and all! I'm thinking of having mine refinished. But not sure if that adds to or takes Away from collectability. And I dont Think they could save the cortland wrap.

I was told he used either linen, or baby crocodile.

Beauty That is a great example of a classic style cue but with burl! I bet it plays quite nicely! Very nice cues.

My guesstimate would be the eye dominance keeping your body from lining up the same way for each shot, and perhaps making your head tilt a bit to compensate. I like to do the alignment drill In which you place the object ball 2 diamonds away from the corner pocket, and the cue ball inline with...

Hello to all. Just curious if anyone has any Idea how many cues Bill Stroud made after He went out on his own? I recently purchased A 1 of 1 from 1988 and got curious about How many more of his cues are roaming around Out there. I read he passed on not to long ago. I'm sure hes missed by the...

Thank you all kindly. Howdy folks, I just wanted to say a GREAT BIG Thank you to all that posted to this thread. The felt Should've been the first thing that came to mind. But that's why I asked! I'm glad you more knowledgeable Players and instructors came thru with answers. And Thank you...

Hello AZB'rs. I've been a member for awhile now, I dont have many posts. But dont let that fool ya, I figure you have 2 ears 2 eyes and 1 mouth, so if your running 1 the other 2 dont work so well! My enquiry is, how did the "old schoolers " have such a tremendous stroke? By old schoolers, I'm...

Best cue joint I've played with almost every joint pin configuration out there except for MEZZ. I can certainly tell the difference in a 5/16x14 piloted to a Uni Loc, to a wood to wood flat face joint. I personally have found, a piloted joint, especially piloted ivory joints have a major...

Hmmm, I read all 5 pages of this thread and learned that it was 98% people trying to discredit other people. I was hoping to learn something different from the elder players. But I some how feel cheated and slightly less intelligent because I never stopped reading. How are us younger players...

Hello to all, I purchased a cue recently second hand. If I roll the cue separate the butt section rolls fine, as do 2 of the 3 shafts. But when the cue is assembled it doesnt roll true and strait across a pool table. I can only think that it's the joint pin being inserted crook'ed. It's a newer...
