As seen in the 2019 Mosconi Cup. I assume they play like other Aramith high-end balls. What do you think of the look of them? Does anyone have a set? How do they look/play in person?

I'm a person who brings all my tip tools and case pockets full of stuff when I go to the pool hall. But I realized that I do all my tip shaping and shaft smoothing at home. I don't need to haul that stuff with me for regular practice. Does anyone carry few things with them besides their cues to...

I'm a relatively new player. My cue came with a Kamui black soft tip. Because my stroke is a slow work in progress, I tend to unintentionally spin the ball so I use a nickel shape on the tip. My thinking is a larger surface area might decrease the spin. My questions are: 1) Is my thinking...

I'm just returning to pool after playing as a teen. Last summer, I bought my first serious cue. I just read the "2 shafts" thread. Several people mentioned using their second shaft as a back-up in case their tip breaks on the one they play with regularly. That makes sense to me. My question is...

Anyone know where I can get joint protectors for my McDermott G229C2?

I've ben looking online for billiard expos and tournaments in So. Cal. Apparently, I'm not looking in the right places, because I'm coming up empty. Can someone post events here? Thanks!!

I saw that McDermott now sells a tip brand called Navigator. Anyone try them? What would you compare them to? Are they any good?

Does anyone carry a cue in their car or while traveling "just in case" you come across a table? Not your regular playing cue case that you'd use regularly, but a very basic cue set up. If so, how often do you actually use it?

I returned to pool over the summer after being a regular player in my teens in the early 80s. I've never played in a league, but I watch a lot of Youtube videos to watch top players and to understand the game better. A few weeks ago, I stumbled on 9 ball bank pool. The first match I saw was one...

I'm curious whether or not any of you ever get concerned about having something from your case go missing at the pool hall if you leave to go to the bathroom. Anyone had anything taken from them (other than money after losing a match) at a pool hall?

I'm starting back to pool after many years. I've recently bought 2 McDermott cues and like them. I'm wondering if anyone has (or has used) a McDermott Stinger break shaft or cue.

At my job, I have no safe place to keep my cue (no office or locker). There are many nights that I'd like to play at a local place after work. I'm obviously concerned about storing my cue in my car in the hot Los Angeles heat. Is there a way to store my cue in my car for the long 8-10 hour...

In my short time on this site I've noticed that many of you collect cues and occasionally buy and sell cues that you've acquired. So, I'm wondering if you usually get your name engraved on a cue, or is this something you'd do only for a cue that you had custom made or other special cue?

I've mentioned in few threads that I'm coming back to pool after many years and getting a decent cue. I'm trying to figure out a few things about tip care. I bought a McDermott GS-06, btw. It's on order and will come in about a week. I watched a video on how to use a 5-in-1 tips tool, so I...

I'm new to playing pool after many years. I don't don't play in a league, or even with other people. Pool is a stress reliever for me. I've been watching videos & products & came across this 20 minute video on chalk...

Please forgive me if it sounds like I'm trolling. Believe me, I'm not. I'm just a newbie looking at things and wondering. In '97-98 I watched pool on tv. At the time, McDermott cues seemed to a bigger deal than there are now. Is that the case, or am I missing something? Have other cues been...

Hello All, I used to play pool regularly as a young teen (early 80s) with a $20 Montgomery Wards cue. My church youth group had some bad tables to match my bad playing. I've decided to start playing again as a stress reliever from my stressful job. When I play, I rent a table for an hour or 2...
