I read it was inlays he didn't like. I'm not sure if a spliced point is an inlay.

I had a Zylr that was a modern version of this cue. Still had small 11.65 -12mm tips. I sold it because of the uniloc pin. This Martin is so well balanced. I feel like I could almost let go on the follow through and the cue would slide straight through my bridge up to the A joint since the...

There was nothing under the bumper but dirt. The previous owner never cleaned it. I just did a light wipe down and the wrap looks like cork again! Cleaned the shaft threads as much as I could. Left the bluing in the shafts, but wiped and light cloth buff. I didn't want to alter the original...

Definitely a Martin. Not as unwieldy as I expected. I thought the shafts would be stiffer but they have small tip diameters and gradual taper. I assumed the butt would be huge, but it's normal size. The cork wrap is original looking and feels great. The balance seems natural I can't wait to...

Goodwill auction find. 3/8×10 [

Got a big player coming in tomorrow. I'll take good pictures when it comes in. Ivry joint, Birdseye butt, two curly maple shafts, one ivry ferrule. Marked "MARTIN CUE LA CA 71 69" in the rings LK PY 19 on the wood. JPs are marked to match the shaft stamps.

Guy, I don't mean to poke holes in your story, but here's my issue from what I gather about your premise. Christian pool player, doesn't gamble, but plays tournaments. Now I presume the tournaments require a cash buy in. To me this is no different than gambling. You bet on yourself to do well...

Are billiard cues generally balanced towards the center? I know they are generally shorter than pool cues and the taper is stiffer. My Adam has a steel joint and I had a 3c shaft converted from wood pin to 5/16×14. I think it plays nicely. The butt is short too compared to a standard cue so the...

I like the old matches before jump cues changed the safety play Sent from my SM-A536V using Tapatalk

I can't imagine any high caliber players that didn't gamble at the time. I think it comes with the territory. Maybe in 3c which was considered more gentlemanly. Sent from my SM-A536V using Tapatalk

I normally use a slightly damp towel during play. Guess the answer to my question is a resounding no.

Thanks for sharing

This is the perfect case. 2x4 always seemed like the extra slot was unnecessary.

Does anyone use pine sol on their cues after playing sessions? I have a diluted spray bottle that I use on my golf clubs. Don't think it would hurt the wood. Used cue specific cleaners that leave a funny texture in the past. Not talking about refinishing, just basic wipe down after a long...

Bingo. Thanks for the input. I'm not bidding, but they are unique
