    Shield logo on butt?

    Getting tired of random people posting auction site photos on here and reddit hoping to bid and flip it.

    Wood Identification?

    16 16oz stamp is shown in the one photo. I have the exact same cue and yes it's very light. I'll be adding some weight when I convert mine.

    What types of wood are cue butts made of? How do they affect the way a cue hits?

    Interesting! I have not seen this excerpt before. The sound of the hit is definitely increased by removing the bumper, but I've never anything that said it specifically prevents the noise when in contact to the floor. I learn something new every day, Thanks! Side note, I'm happy about your...

    What types of wood are cue butts made of? How do they affect the way a cue hits?

    There's no right or wrong here, everyone has a different feel and different experience. Just like how many players feel that CF shafts provide additional spin or power (although it can be disproven to some extent), I can certainly feel and hear a difference from butt to butt. It could be all...

    What types of wood are cue butts made of? How do they affect the way a cue hits?

    I have one shaft that I've used on at least 5 different cue butts, and while the deflection and shot making stays effectively the same, the feel ( and sound) completely changes from butt to butt. To some people this may not matter at all, but for me, I need some feedback from the cue...

    Chinese knock off Predator P3 and SP2

    They will commonly cue pictures of the real product, but sell you the fake one.

    switching between glasses and contact lens

    I switch back and forth all the time, the main drawback with glasses is that standard glasses do not go high enough to allow you to get fully down on the shot. They do make "billiard glasses" to resolve that. However, if im playing a serious match, the choice is simple, contacts every time.

    I need 5/16 X 14 two inch fully threaded rod - where to find?

    I wish I had the depth of knowledge that you possess!

    I need 5/16 X 14 two inch fully threaded rod - where to find?

    I have never seen 5/16×14" sold by the inch, 3 inches at minimum. I have some that I could cut down and send, but as DeeDeeCues suggested, you should have at least 3" for your joint pin.

    MEZZ cues

    Get a united joint mezz, that's compatible with most 5/16x14 shafts.

    Headphones at hard times sac

    I used to think it was being disrespectful until I tried it. Listening to music I enjoy and being able to ignore the stupid conversations going on around me really allows me to focus at a higher level. I don't wear them too often, but when I do I certainly play better. I use the Bose noise...

    Discord

    There is a discord but it's not related to AZB. It's not super active compared to here but a good group of mostly younger players looking to get better and talking about equipment.

    Triangle and Triumph Tips

    Blue inside means that they've changed to chrome tanned leather, versus more expensive vegetable tanned leather that's been fully dyed. If the leather has not been tumbled enough, or a different type used, it can be much harder. Seems like they are cheaping out on their product now. Where did...

    Question about sanding down a shaft

    Do you do this for all shafts that you reduce/retaper including the ones you've made, or only shafts where you don't know the specific taper profile?

    Different light style I saw in Greece

    Those panels are only 17€ each! So for 100 bucks, plus making a frame, you have a nice light setup. https://solislux.eu/en/product/led-splash-proof-panel-capri-slim-ip44-20w-6500k-1800lm-120%C2%B0-295x595x8--12295/ I might go this route when I redo my home table...

    Fargo crew for the win!!

    This is one of those blatantly obvious scenarios where someone is dumping on purpose to lower their rating, but what about other cases that are less obvious? Where there's a will, there's a way and given all the high dollar under XXX fargo tournaments going on, I'm sure many are trying to get...

    State Open Tournaments?

    That's partially due to the fact that APA does not tolerate gambling at their events and will kick you out of the league if they find out. The solution is to gamble at local pool halls such a Griff's. There's always action going on at that place!
