    Tips

    I like all medium tips once then become hard, they still grip but have that crispy tone...any hard tip I've installed and played with doesn't feel nor sound right, they also don't seem to grip the cue ball adequately. Single layered pressed tips work well, milk duds, outsville mediums, a good...

    Two Collections Come Together

    Thank you for sharing your nice stories and beautiful classy cues. I'm sorry for your loss but happy to read about such a nice relationship between father and son and an obvious mutual love and common interest for the game we all are so fascinated by.

    Purple Heart & Ebony Merry Widow pfd-South West Style

    Wow, what a clean and classy looking cue, Paul nailed it. I bet it plays even better than it looks too. Congrats, to say I am envious would be an understatement.

    Best line from a losing opponent.

    Opponent hooks himself behind the 7 ball while trying to play shape on the 6, fouls, and says "you got lucky" I burst into laughter exclaiming that I had nothing to do with him stepping on his own tally whacker.

    Beating a player on drugs...

    My uhh friend would highly recommend small amounts of LSD, cause it lasts for 8+ hours and there isn't a crash. He says the cue balls burn spots on the cloth also look pretty neat. He's tough to beat with or without drugs

    Which Cloth is better Simonis 860HR or Champion Tour Edition

    Simonis, anything else is just an imitator. But from experience, I think championship cloth puts more wear on the balls in the long run. Once it gets worn it gets shiny but yet has an abrasive feel to it. I'm not expert this is just my opinion.

    Can a slump be diagnosed and fixed?

    I don't believe in slumps, it's mind over matter. You just need to be aware of what it is that your are doing when you're not "in a slump" or just playing well. If your fundamentals are good then it is probably something you're not looking at that you usually do look at.

    Subletting?

    Cue building and any kind finishing are two different arts, it's noble of you to respect the customer and another art in itself. Kudos, I'm neither but a craftsman and an artist myself. My father ran a furniture company when I was a kid but also did all the finish work, he probably did more...

    Joint pin loosening?

    Well, because Joe Barringer is the maker. I was under the impression he no longer worked on cues, and even if he does he has enough bad reputation to me that I'd rather avoid any possible headaches/heart breaks because I love the way this cue plays. And to Mr. Webb, I'm located in Portland Maine.

    Joint pin loosening?

    This 7/16x11 g10 pin from barringer somehow has been pulled from the butt end of the cue. It's not loose nor can I turn it/screw it back into the butt. It doesn't make any noise but I'm concerned it will eventually become loose and/or hurt the shaft. I assume this happened from tightening the...

    Making cues by hand

    It would never be round if it were "made by hand." Not that it has to be, just sayin. It's a silly rhetorical question, yes and no, no as in why bother?

    Show us your HOME ROOMS !!

    Beautiful table and cues, I'd be afraid of a ball flying off the table and smashing into those cues from an errant jump/break shot though.

    Bumperless Cues

    I do that out of habit now. When my girlfriend sees me doing it she immediately says "cue on shoe" as a relation to foot in mouth, because I'm obviously not at the table if my cues on my shoe:rolleyes:

    the craziest thing happened tonight

    Why would he need to get quarters to get the rest of the balls out and how did he manage to grab only the 9 balls out of the box? Just seems extra odd on a pay table
