    Poolplayers and their pets(hopefully a feel good thread)

    It’s a Yorkshire Terrier with a haircut called a “puppy cut.” I like keeping the hair short. The Yorkie is hypoallergenic and does not shed. They live a long time. Don’t go for the Yorkies some call “Teacups.” They are bred too small and often have health problems.

    Uni-loc vs. threaded joint: Is performance of cue affected?

    No, not worth the hassle. I'll PM my address. Please ship via UPS, I have the best luck with them. ;) Keep the pin clean and give it a good twist to tighten.

    Private lessons in Las Vegas??

    I took lessons at seventy years old after many years away from the game. Never too old.

    Private lessons in Las Vegas??

    Very good lessons can be had in Las Vegas for a fraction of that cost. Max is a legend and getting what the market will bear I presume.

    Radial to Uniloc Shaft Adapter Question

    Does anyone have experience with shaft adapters? I have mostly Uniloc shafts, and I'd like to use a radial butt with them. Any ideas and or recommendations appreciated.

    Whyte carbon shaft

    I have to agree with you. I've used many of the CF shafts and always come back to my Revo. It plays the best for me.

    Whyte carbon shaft

    I spoke yesterday to a nice guy named John at Whyte. He told me the pro taper on the 12.75 shaft was 14". I asked about turn-around time and he said they are filling orders in they order they receive them. I asked for a guess and he said at least 4-6 weeks. I think it may be longer. I was going...

    Whyte carbon shaft

    To me one of the most important things in shaft selection is the shaft taper and that cannot be found to date. Most shaft manufacturers have that info on their websites. I'm sure we will eventually learn the type of taper on these Whyte carbon fiber shafts.

    Whyte carbon shaft

    Good info about the Loctite, thanks. I have a shaft in my shopping cart but am waiting to learn the shaft taper and have not found the answer. I've emailed Whyte the question about the taper and the turn-around time this afternoon and am awaiting a reply.

    Whyte carbon shaft

    Would I be able to get some low strength (purple) Loctite on those threads? And, where do you order the shaft? I emailed a question to the website and never received an answer. I asked about the shaft taper and probable delivery time.

    Steinway Billiards Closing

    Evicting commercial tenants can be a bit easier than residential tenants in NYC. Very difficult to evict a tenant from an apartment in NYC, even before Covid, and basically impossible since Covid. NYC Tenants Court is a joke and leans so far against landlords that it should tip over. I'm not...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    If you can cure your double vision (double posting) you'll see most of the talk is about cleanliness of the cue ball, table, floors, etc... One less cup of coffee before posting might lessen your anger. And if you cannot afford premium chalk, please allow those of us who can afford it to buy it...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    Who said it would make anyone a better player? Some of us just value cleanliness more than others. Many of us use it on home tables and it makes a big difference in keeping things cleaner than most other chalks.

    Pro-Am black PRC fingerprint solution (for me)

    After a few hours of my grandchildren playing on my Pro-Am yesterday they left the table covered with fingerprints. Instead of going to the beeswax or my previous solutions I simply sprayed a microfiber cloth with Pledge Clean it and wiped down the surface. Looked good as new. Sometimes simple...

    One Piece Slate Diamonds

    When I was buying my Pro-Am I spoke to Glen about the one-piece vs the three-piece issues. The one-piece slate would have been no problem with delivery to my house. But I am old and the table will be around long after me. The advantage of the three-piece for me was that if my children want it...
