Ok, I have installed Simonis, CPBA and few cheap cloths on my own tables.I have never installed anything faster than 860. I know that on a 9ft table with Simonis the stretch is around 1.8. I just installed Gorina Tournament 2000 and what I came up with as the stretch index of 2.7. basically 3.5"...

Just wanted to put this out there for someone that is trying to decide on diameters on a Rhino carbon. I have owned all 3 in past couple years. I really like the Rhinos for the money. It didnt hardly take me any adjustment at all going from a standard 12.5mm custom shaft to the Rhino. The 12.4...

I am a big fan of bank pool. The other night i was watching a couple of women's pro 9-ball and10 ball matches. One of the players which i really like is Wei Wei. She made a couple of banks that really impressed the heck out of me. She did not baby the banks or just hit them at a firm speed, she...

Just wondering does stepping into the shot or stepping back really make any difference. I have always stepped into the shot and find most players do. So tonight i tried stepping my right foot back instead of stepping into the shot with my left foot (right handed of course). I actually feel that...

Off the bench at the Armadillo Custom Shop. Designed to be a 1 butt 3 shaft modified envelope case. I designed this because i have mostly custom cues with 2 original shafts and my favorite playing shaft. You can put 2 butts one joint end up and one joint end down and 2 shafts but really tight. I...

Looking for the cue Sherm made for Cornbread Red about 25 years ago. It has Cornbred Red in the buttsleeve. He offered to sell it to me not long before he passed. I didnt have the money at that time. Would like to find it for sentimental reasons. I will pay a finders fee also if i can locate the...

Should all Ivory and bone ferrules be tapped and capped? Also, is 1/8" cap enough to prevent cracking? Would a G be better than F to prevent a crack due to pressure of tapping? Thanks!

Does Joss use 5/8x11 or 5/8x18 SS joint? I know it probably wouldnt be 3/4x16 to thin walled but not sure. Thanks

Could be due to sitting in a old cue rack with the black rubber holders or felt for years and the color has absorbed into the wood. Dont know. It is original shaft and straight so i dont want to replace it. Is there a way to restore it? Is there a way to bleach it or something?

The ones that has the i think 8/32 that screws onto metal tenon. turns orangish yellow but cleans up white.

Just wondering what cue specs do you prefer? Are you still trying or purchasing cues to find your perfect specs? How long did it take you to come to the conclusion this is what fits my playing style and preferences? Well It has taken me 30 years to come to a conclusion. I have owned about 50...

‘93 unknown custom cue. Looks like it was made from a Southwest Satin or a real good copy from the cut of wood, taper of the butt and length of the wrap. Butt is dead straight.. Great hitting cue. Friend of mine obtained the butt without a shaft from someone and he just recently had Joe...

Just wondering approximately how many 1.25" 13.25mm ferrules can you get out of a cue ball? I know you will have to account for thickness of cutting tool. Also, would it make a difference if it was ivory? 5 possibly?

For Ringwork which should i use? Is one better than the other when turning? Dye comparison?

Just wondering, what would be the ideal lathe bed height? I am going to make a narrow rolling table for my Custom/Mid America/Hightower lathe. LOL Im used to do a lot of pro shop work on a Hightower and had it mounted at about 33 inches but just seemed low. Oh, I am 6' tall.

Just wondering if anyone can identify. wrap is super tight, super smooth not coarse, the green specks you cant tell they are green unless right up on it in really bright light. I know this is typical of Cortland but not sure the pattern is correct. The modern irish linen you definitely can tell...

Just wondering if anyone can give me a comparison of Tim Scruggs vs JossWest. Im thinking about purchasing and cant make up my mind. Im looking at '72-'80 JossWest and 80's era TS. I wish i could try both out to make a decision but unfortunately can't. They have a very similar look but need to...

This cue has got me stumped. Ringwork looks like production but butt cap and bumper looks like custom even old early 70's joss. the wrap appears to be old cortland linen. The pin inserts on shaft doesnt look typical for cheap asian production and unusual to have 2 shafts for cheap player. comes...

Anyone know what company or cuemaker that made cues with SS sleeve over brass with brass 5/16x18 pin? The cue appears to be from 70"s to early 80"s. [/URL][/IMG]
