I see all these threads on how to "fix" pool or save it. What's wrong with it? I like the fact that pool isn't very popular, I can walk into a pool room and not have to wait on a table. I like the fact that it's played in run down establishments with nutty characters. I like the fact that it has...

Where exactly are the growth rings on a shaft, and what is considered to be the wood grain? Are they the straight lines that run up and down or the longer oval shape lines? I took 2 pictures for reference, the first picture can be referred as Pic A, and the second Pic B.

Good shaft wood will have straight grain and lots of growth rings which tells you it came from a slow growth maple tree. All other things being equal a shaft made from high quality wood will be more resistant to warpage. I also believe the shaft will feel stiffer if it is made from better maple...

can anyone send a link to the earl strickland air boxing video at the past turning stone tournament? I would love to see that

Great story, that old man used a smart tactic. I can only imagine how bad that poor young guy must have felt when he pulled out another roll of hundreds

Yeah you're probably right about them not being allowed to sell their cues cheaper. Maybe it would be a good idea for those companies to cut out the middle man and just sell direct. It would make the product cheaper for the consumer and they could still make more profit. For established brands...

It's very situational, in the situation you are describing I think it's fine to do but if you're playing for a lot of money then generally it's considered bad etiquette to quit when you're ahead, atleast where I come from. Pool is mostly played by recreational or tournament players now days and...

I don't know why cues from companies like Joss, Schon, and Schmelke are more expensive on their own websites than they are on wholesale sites. I'd rather buy direct from the manufacturer so they can make a bigger profit but it doesn't make sense to pay more for the same product. Just my little...

Good Ole Cornbread Red, he had a beautiful slip stroke that was a sight to behold

Found cue, no longer searching

A lot is going to depend on what shaft you choose for the cue as far as the hit. Predator makes low deflection shafts which have a much stiffer hit compared to a standard maple shaft. The schon cue will have a more forward balance due to the steel joint. Personally I like maple shafts and steel...

Whatever man, the color of money was a great movie. I'd agree that Tom Cruise didn't do a great job but Paul Newman more than made up for it.

As far as gambling goes it can be an addictive and unhealthy habit for people. I've heard plenty of stories about people's lives being ruined by gambling and its very sad. But this is America damnit and I do what I want.

You gotta be quick to get the good deals on here, it's just not fair

If you are looking for a steel joint cue I would recommend calling Garten Bierbower and have him custom make you one. You may have to pay a little extra compared to a schon but he makes the best old school style cue money can buy.
