Out of curiosity, what do you guys think of this: https://www.woodscues.com/collections/cue-makers-material/products/double-chuck-cue-making-repair-maintenance-bench-lathe-machine Is it a complete waste of money, or could one make basic cues with it? Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Most people I know, at one point in their lifelong pursuit to become a better player, get obsessed with "vision center" or the "dominating eye". So did I. But after experimenting and thinking about it, I realized that most information found on the subject are trial and error suggestions...

Hi guys, I've spend the last few years working mostly on my fundamentals on my home table, as kids, work & other hobbies prevent me from finding the time to compete at the moment. I'm quite satisfied with the basic stuff (feet, shoulder, elbow, grip, bridge, etc.) and am confident that I move...

Hi, I would like to fill the the open grain of an ash shaft using cocobolo sawdust. Then apply an oil finish. Can you recommend any (color neutral) grain filler product that I can mix with the sawdust to rub into the grain? CA glue maybe? Does it have to be an oil based filler if I want the...

Dear cuemakers, I would like to experiment with different combinations of length, diameter, taper and weight on the butt to figure out what type of cue suits me best. That would include exotic parameters, such as very thin 25mm end diameter and/or 40" long butts. Not really off the shelf type...

The forums were down this morning, and now the thread seems to have been lost, so I'll post it again: ------------------------------------------------- Dear cuemakers, I would like to have a 40" (yes, fourty) butt so that I can grip my cue near or at what I learned to be called the center of...

Hi there, I bought a cheap house cue, which I want to turn into a ferrule-less cue (pad + tip only), and potentially coring out the front section sometime later. Mainly for educational purposes, to get a feeling for how those changes affect hit sensation and squirt of the cue. Problem is I...

Dear cuemakers (and physicists...), what makes a cue deliver as much feedback (vibration) as possible to the grip hand? I'm looking for just that kind of cue. The two cues I own are examples of what I feel deliver the opposite, namely almost no feedback to the grip hand. Extreme draw shots...

Dear Cuemakers, this question nags me for quite some time now - is there a reason (other than tradition) why snooker and pool cues are constructed so differently (read after the === below for my attempt of a description of the construction methods)? If one way would be "superior" to the other...

Hey there, On normal shots (i.e. cue parallel to the table bed), if I put my cue slightly under my right eye (halfway between center chin and right eye), I'm shooting straight. When there's some unintentional side/English, it's roughly 50/50 left/right. It was a long journey of more than a...

Hello guys, I've been working on my stance/stroke for about a year now. Went from classical pool stroke to classical (i.e. square on) snooker stance and back, rotated my elbows in/out, moved my hips inside/outside, and so on and so forth. But whatever I do, I can't get rid of accidental...
