I had a hard time with identifying the balls....maybe the color on my pc is whacked . Chuckg

Played with the Crical cue today and was happy with it . perfectly straight wit a decent layered tip 11.8 mm . I did not notice any weird noises and the deflection was quite a bit lower than any of my other wood shaft cues . I did have 3 break and runs 2 9 ball and one 8 ball . I let my...

As I said in my original post I had ordered a used and returned cue that was sent to me missing the butt . I may use the cue 1 hour and think it is a piece of Chinese junk , who knows . I cannot seeing it taking the place of my Owen as my normal player . It will most likely be in the car just...

No issue with my return and have gotten the new cue already . Package good and it looks good . When I went to reorder the cue was 35% off so out the door was $100 . My intent is to play with this cue for 3 weeks or so and if I don't like it..back it goes .I will post my thoughts on what a...

During Amazon prime days I ordered a cheapo CriCal cf cue . My wife ,being ever so thrifty found one that had been returned because the shipping box was damaged . The cue was said to be in excellent condition . Cue arrives today , the box is undamaged but something is rattling around inside ...

I also have a lucasi...signature model 4 points with Veneers even . Mine must be close to 30 years old . I am a cheap bastard and I am not shelling out big bucks for some item I would seldom use . I remember when I first picked it up lots of rooms had a no jump cues allowed policy . I did...

I played with all my cues...Gus , Barry ,Gina , Mottey whatever . I always had a sp for crappy bar tournaments . I sold them all ttru the years and now my only cue of any value is an Owen..$2500 or so . The old guys at the senior center I frequent think it is a $400 cue . Worth 5 times more...

I have had six or so of their cues , all used . The cues I had were very well made and seemed like a lot of cue for the money .Their shop refinished a few for me...great work and excellent communication . It seems like 30 years ago the market was flooded with used Phillippis' so flipping one to...

I have about 20 hours of use on my IBS glove...No problems at all . I did snag it on a splinter on a well usrd wooden rack but it did not tear or leave a hole .Feels like it will hold up awhile . Chuckg

I just started using an IBS , 4 were about $15 . I do not planning on using it when the temps cool off . The ac is not very good where I normally play . I use a wood shaft . Chuckg

So true ,

About 20 years ago I bought an Audrick cue from a maker in the PI , The cue looked great..nice woods with ivory inlays , joint and butt cap , 2 shafts with ivory . In less than a year one shaft warped so bad it was unplayable ,then the butt cap cracked . I did a cheapo repair and replaced the...

I would guess that the quality of the shaft wood is the biggest factor on warping . Leaning it against the wall ....all bets are off . chuckg

Would a male have to give two balls to play in a ladies event ? OUCH ! Chuckg

I keep my shafts very clean so I wipe them down with alcohol or a Magic Eraser finish up with a drop of Slik Stix . The bottle I have is at least 20 years old . Amazigly slick finish . Chuckg
