I like and use several McDermott cues and for a decent American made player grade cue I think they're worth the money. But for some strange reason their 3/8x10 joints are not uniform across randomly picked cues. You can have a shaft made for one cue and then try to screw it on another current...

Crap. Wrong forum, sorry.

Does anybody know what the difference is between the Aramith red circle cue ball and the one with the red "S" logo?

I guess the title kinda says it all. I have a new (to me) 9 foot A.E. Schmidt table with new Artemis K66 rubber (Pool #66) and Simonis 860. Slate is doweled and it looked good going together. Problem I'm having is that when a ball is hit fairly soft like on a lag shot, it wobbles just a bit as...

I know, the answer is "it depends". But this question goes through my mind every time one of these cuemaker nightmare threads like the current one pops up. Thirty or forty years ago if you wanted something pretty or special you had no choice. But today, no so much. Take McDermott as just one...

I was changing out the interior of my JB 2x3 basic rugged case today and saw the main tube for the first time. I'm wondering if anyone knows what this main tube is made out of? Some type of plastic, polymer, PVC or maybe really hard plasticized cardboard? Don't get me wrong, it seems plenty...

[OBVIOUSLY MEANT TO SAY 50x100 BUT CAN'T EDIT TITLE] In continuing to look for an older Brunswick table, I'm running into this fairly often where a mechanic tells me up front the playing surface will likely wind up being slightly under 50x100 by 1/4" to 1/2". In the case of one mechanic here...

So, what's the latest word on rules (APA or whoever) regarding phenolic tips? Seems like it may have gone back and forth a time or two but in spite of doing repeated searches I can't figure out where things stand right now. I'm not sure I want to get into jumping but thought that if I did a...

Could anyone recommend a cue case other than JB that is in that same price and quality range? I know they make great cases and are well thought of but I'm having difficulty communicating with them and I need a new case sooner rather than later.

So I'm watching "The Hustler" last night for the umpteenth time and two minutes in there it is. First pool shot of the movie. Newman lines up on an OB frozen on the rail about 6-8 inches away from the corner pocket. He hits the CB about medium hard and there it is: the OB rattles in the jaws of...

...and even the early '80s. I enjoy watching old youtube videos of Fats, Wimpy, U.J. Puckett and all those old guys playing each other and yakking it up. Invariably they seem to be playing on Gandy Big Gs or occasionally a Gold Crown. It looks to me like balls drop pretty easily on those...

I'll say right up front that I've never played on a 7 foot table, nor for that matter on an 8 foot table as far as I can recall. To me, a 9 foot table was what pool was all about and anything else might as well have been bumper pool. So in looking for a table for my home I've never considered...

From all I can read here it looks like a reasonable goal for pocket size on a home table is around 4.5" for the corners and 5" for the sides. First off, is this generalization accurate and if not would someone please educate me a bit as to correct dimensions? Secondly, if one is looking at a...

I'm looking at an old Brunswick table that has already been taken down. Hate to buy it that way but it is what it is. Is there a measurement say for each piece of slate that would help me verify it is indeed a 9 foot table? The seller doesn't know and I'd want to verify it anyway.

No prices seem to appear anywhere on their website, nor do I see a dealer locator. And their phone is going straight to voicemail for the last few days. I guess I was under the impression somehow that you bought the table direct from the factory and they shipped it to your installer, but the...

Or is it just that the GCs are that much better? I grew up in GA in the late '60s and Big Gs were pretty much the standard table in this area. And I later had 2 different ones in my homes over the years. Heck, we all thought they were great but maybe we just didn't know any better. Anyway...
