So....I recently ran across samsara playing tips...not the break tip. Does anyone have any experience with these in regards of install, mushrooming, how well they hold shape, playability, etc. I like their break tips (good, but I always prefer the white diamond).... And am thinking of giving...

I just finished a cue for a guy. He wanted green and pink veneers. I struggled with this...as I didn't want it to turn out to "girly". In the end...the veneer color scheme didn't turn out too bad. This was my first attempt at metering the veneer stack for the points and windows. I think...

So...I got in my shop a few huebler sneaky Pete, one piece cues. The say Mark II on them, above the huebler logo. From the same guy I got a huebler break jump cue. Nothing fancy, all black, mop dots at break/jump joint and nylon insert in shaft. I didn't even know huebler made such items...

So...everyone here has been candid and honest...so I figured I would request some thoughts on pricing. I was brought an old Palmer cue, probably mid 70's, mop inlays, window with guys name behind it...and it was in pieces. I was told to fix it. With that, I put on new ebony forearm, with...

So....I realize there are lots of accomplished and experienced cue makers here...and I have a question for you. If you take ebony dust (after cutting or routing), and mix it with epoxy to fill in small dashes, diamond patterns, and the like...are you allowed to still call them ebony inlays...

I want to bid a loving and heartfelt farewell to my close friend, mentor, and teacher...Phil Boucher. Phil...former Marine, Butte Boy to the core, and an absolute pool fanatic, spent his last few days reading pool magazines and watching pool videos we sent him in a care package. Phil took me...

So...I am just wrapping up the shaft on this latest cue...figured I would post some pics and get some feedback. This cue is tiger maple with 4 bubinga points with an ebony spear point frame....with bubinga windows and the ebony frame. The rings around the handle are fake ivory with ebony...

So..I wanted to get some thoughts on benefits of different woods for coring cues. I am thinking more I'd a fully cored design, when handle, forearm, and butt sleeve all slide over a single rod, and thread together to the rod. Are they better woods to use? For example, purple heart is stiff...

So with so many leagues out there...do you think players would play in a league as just a cash league...no national event prize....figuring the cash could help offset the costs to nationals the player may win in other leagues?

So...I have run across and picked up a couple of cues called Axes. They have a logo on the bottom that looks inlaid or cut in of 2 battle axes crossed, and says Axes on the bottom. Does anyone know anything about these....are they junk, rare, rare junk? Attached is a crappy pic of the logo.

So...I am on the hunt for ideas of clear coat for a cue...something durable, easy to apply, and shiny. Does everyone use some sort of automotive finish? I have heard and tried miraclecoat, various other clear epoxy base items...even tried cyano once.... I am looking for something that can...

So...I wanted to get some thoughts and feedback on league operators. I live in a small town, but the per capita pool player is an outstanding percentage...we have lots. We have lots of leagues...but it seems like they are going downhill anymore. Maybe it is just my league operators, but the...
