About a year ago I ordered a cue from a fairly well known Filipino cue maker. The butt has warped badly and I now own an $800 house cue. Before he started building I checked to make sure it would be cored and he assured me it would. I’m tempted to cut it in half to check if it really was cored...

I’ve ordered a Rounceville spliced blank with the intention of having a sneaky pete made. It will be very basic, no veneers or rings, in other words a true sneaky. What exactly is the process and are there any parts of the process that require special expertise?

I’m looking for a good quality full splice sneaky pete, rosewood would be nice but most wood combos considered. Doesn’t have to be in perfect condition as it will be an every day player.

According to their website “Viking has partnered with the renowned cue maker, Ariel Carmeli to create this Diamond Series of cues. Each Diamond cue is manufactured under the exact specifications provided by Ariel Carmeli.” It’s a nice looking cue but I’m wondering what makes it different from a...

I’m having my table recovered this week & they’re going to ask me if I’m happy that the table is level. What is the best way to quickly check that it is level? Thanks.

I’m 6’4” & I’m after a cue that’s longer than the standard 58”. I’ve tried playing with an extension but I’ve not been comfortable with the extra weight at the back end. Are there any 60” production cues? Alternatively, what can I expect to pay for a merry widow custom cue?

I’m thinking about ordering my first ever custom cue & I have a few ideas about the design but I’m not sure exactly what information a cue maker needs & in what format I should provide it. For example, is it sufficient to provide a list of requirements such as type of wood, inlays, rings, etc...

Rule 1.5 Cue Ball in Hand says “When the cue ball is in hand, the shooter may place the cue ball anywhere on the playing surface and may continue to move the cue ball until he executes a shot.” Is there a specific rule within the WPA rules regarding using the cue ball to measure a gap when the...

I was watching the GB 9 Ball Tour match yesterday between Jayson & Darren where Jayson fouled, the referee didn’t see it & the game continued. He was trying to play the 1 ball & it was partially blocked by the 5 so he could only see the left edge of the 1. The cue ball just grazed the 5 before...

7 months old, hardly used, Uni-loc, no wrap, $490.

I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years without ever being shown how to play & as a result I’ve acquired a number of bad habits, the worst of which is a ‘chicken wing’ where my elbow moves out to the side as I shoot resulting in the cue not moving in a straight line. Over the last year I’ve...

I noticed recently that Predator sell carom cues - how do they differ from a regular low deflection cue? I’ve never played the game so forgive my ignorance. Thanks
