    Thinking of selling a Gilbert and have questions about 5/16-14 versus 3/8-10 joints

    To answer your question; Yes, the joint will have some effect on the way a cue plays. This is one of those questions that have been discussed an un-godly amount of times, both here and everywhere else pool is played. And, the options vary wildly. IMO the joint isn’t the biggest factor in the...

    Only one Cue, which one and why?

    Man, making us cue junkies pick just one, that’s cruel! In the collection, three are my stand outs, and of those... it would have to be the Black Titlist! I play with a few different cues, but without fail every time I go back to play with it, and after I hit the first ball im like... oh yeah...

    Anyone making matte finished cues?

    My main cue is BLO, I really like the look and feel. BLO requires a little more care, but not enough to deter me from going that route again.

    Deer or moose antler

    One of my favorite cues has an Elk joint and butt cap, it has held up just fine. It plays a little softer than Ivory (IMO). Any antler would be a decent choice for joint material, as the are designed by nature to absorb impact. I have seen a few cues with Moose antler in them and I really like...

    Thanks for the info! It is still showing for me too, weird. Now it is saying he isn't taking bids for some reason. Oh well.

    Fellini Question

    Hello all, Ran across this seller that has a couple cases for sell. My question is, did Fellini ever do his tags this way? All the examples I have seen, either has the zigzag stitch or the stitches on the sides, but always visible. Seems a little fishy, I could very well be wrong, that's why I...

    Pro Shaft Cleaning

    Here is thread that popped up. Surly your friend knows, but... don't ever assume the customer wants the shaft cleaned when changing tip/ferrule. Only clean the shaft when asked. And, keep in mind if sandpaper, magic eraser, anything that strips the shaft is used, it needs to be re-sealed...

    Check out this wood

    Hell more than that! Buddy that was with me runs a tree business, and together we have cut, milled and/or split countless trees over the years and neither of us could believe it. Granted we usually only mill the Walnut, but have done quite a few Pecan logs over the years. Also, I'm pretty sure...

    Check out this wood

    Well, if you ain't gonna get it... nobody will. It's gonna sound weird, but it's Pecan. The tree had bad case of heart rot, the tree was 40' or so, this section was about 20' up the tree and was only about 3', it was a big knot the had rotted out (that's the spalting you see) this is the back...

    Was milling up some logs and ran across this section. Never seen anything like it, in this wood. Can anyone guess the wood?

    How many folks carry more than 1 shaft?

    I always carry two shafts (both with same spec) and play with both of them about the same amount of time. I have had a tip blow out while in the middle of a big set, having the extra shaft that was as close to identical as possible, in my mind saved me. I also like to play with short tips, it...

    Jack 195 - Beware Dealing with!

    Mr. Holmes, that name gets my blood boiling! I had a drawn out crap show with that POS, I finally got my cue back and PayPal gave him a full refund, but he decided to remove the wrap before he sent it back. At least I got the cue back.

    《•☆•》 Ultimate Gina Cue Player 《•☆•》

    Beautiful cue, I really like his cues! Does he use Micarta inserts on the shafts? Don't think I've ever seen that before.

    My new ebony Willie Hoppe titlist conversion cue

    That is one sexy cue! Love it! I've been hunting a Ebony Titlist for some time, one day I'll find the right blank, hopefully my cuemaker doesn't retire before I get it! Who is the maker? Can't read the name, looks like "roger rabbit" pretty sure that wrong.

    Just In 40's Willie Hoppe Conversion By Pete Tascarella

    We see lots of new designs or twists on designs, but for me the classics are always my favorite. I'm a sucker for a will done Titlist! Beautiful cue.
