I've got this reasonably unique Omen cue that I like to play with but the wrap is old and kind of flat/dead, not very cushy like other wraps I've felt. But it looks pretty cool and goes with the cue very well so I don't really want to change it out (and don't do wraps myself). Is there a way to...

Have you ever pressed a soft layered tip? I put an ultraskin soft into one of those manual threaded presses a while ago for no particular reason and have recently found myself wanting a stiffer tip than the tiger sniper on my cynergy. I was planning on an ultra skin hard until I found this. I...

I recently obtained an old GC cue rack with the rubber nibs but several of them are broken, and the ones that aren't broken are super dry and stiff. Some shafts are picking up scratches from being pushed past the nibs. I see I can buy replacement nibs from classic billiards but they're...

Hello all, I saw this come up for sale nearby and am wondering if it is a gold crown and if so, which version. I've compared these photos with the popular chart that's been posted and didn't reach a conclusion. Thanks in advance

Does anyone here have any experiences with the Peri Oriental Dragon Break Cue? There isn't a lot of info out there on this cue. It's one of the only big name carbon fiber break cues that isn't decorated like a workout shirt so I'm potentially interested in picking one up. Thanks

Hello, I'm headed to a new home and have a good sized workshop in the basement. I'd like to put my lathe there as opposed to the garage but am of course concerned about 1) safety and 2) cleanliness. The workshop has a smooth concrete floor but much of the house is carpeted and I don't want to be...

A friend wants his shaft slicked up like it's new but he'd like to keep his blue gray tinge, whats your process like?

I've been looking into making myself a butt extension. I have a midsize cue smith lathe and am comfortable with installing the pin, but have never applied a finish to a cue. I have some extension kits from cuefits and already have a straight 1.25" poplar dowel (I'm aware this may warp) Given no...

I have a cue butt who's threads extend too far for the 3/8-11 cynergy I plan to use it with - when fully tightened there's a good 1mm gap between joint faces. Does anyone here have experience extending the threads of a cynergy? I have a lathe and tap but don't want to burst through into the...

Looking for the handle only (everything but the shaft) in his regular 3/8-10 joint Any colour I'm in Canada so must be willing to ship here

I've been spinnin stuff on my midsize cue smith for (2 thumbs up recommended machine) about 1 year now and I've found myself with quite a mix of tools and supplies. I don't make cues and have little interest in doing so (obtaining, cutting, aging, tapering, aging, finishing wood? I'll leave this...

I'm considering purchasing one of these to be mounted on my valley home table, does anyone have any thoughts or reviews of this product in action? Does it protrude too far from the table edge? Do you lean into it more than you'd like? (Especially on a valley) I'd love to see some pictures, I...

I've subscribed to the Accu-Stats Vimeo service (here) and plan on keeping it for a month anyway, what are some of your favorite matches to watch from their collection? I enjoy every pocket billiards game, but don't particularly care for Danny Diliberto (better in small amounts), so bonus points...

Hi all, As a friendly repair guy in training I've got no idea when to install or not install a pad between the ferrule and tip. Are there any rules of thumb for this? Any minimum requisites such as certain types of ferrule or tips or anything else to be aware of? edit: for what its worth, I...
