I know that this question has probably been asked before so please excuse me if it has. I used to use the Everest tip but the cost here in Costa Rica has become prohibitive so I have switched to the cheaper solid leather tips. I have both the WB Water Buffalo and the Triangle. Depending on...

I have a Schmelke Sneaky Pete that weighs 19 ounces without any weight bolts. I would like to convert it to a break cue weighing 18.5 ounces. Is it possible to drill out the weight bolt hole in the butt 1/2 ounce without compromising the cue? Any answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am currently living in Costa Rica but I am thinking of moving back to SC and will need a new table. I would probably only have room for a 4 X 8. A friend of mine has an Ohausen (sp) but I would like other recommendations from you experienced guys. So, please tell me what you would do in my...

Who is a fan of solid leather cue tips and which ones do you prefer?

Has anyone tried Snapshot Carbide Tungsten ferrules on their cues? They look awful spiffy to me and I wonder what the effects are.

I have a maple stained Cuetec R360 cue - the 10th one on the Ozone site - and the shaft is now rattling. I didn't find it that LD anyway. Does anyone know of a regular maple shaft that I can replace it with and try to match the color. I don't need fiberglass or any composite - just hard rock...

My Cuetec R360 shaft has begun to vibrate, seemingly internally. Does anyone know why and what can be done to fix the problem?

Just wondering if any qualified instructors are vacationing in Costa Rica now or in the future. I sure could use a look!!!!

I am an expat currently living in Costa Rica. Does anyone know of a good table mechanic in Central America, specifically Costa Rica. My home table has several minor issues which need attention. Thank you in advance for your responses. Regards, John

I have some 13mm tips and all of my shafts are 13mm - supposed to be 13mm by the company specs. I'll buy some calipers tomorrow to verify. My question is, will 13mm tips fit correctly or do I need 14mm tips to cut down? I live in Costa Rica and my cue guy here says the 13mm are too small so...

I have my table clothed in green but cannot find green chalk here, so I have been using blue chalk. It is so messy that I want to change. From a previous table with Camel colored cloth I have 2 1/2 boxes of beige chalk left. Will this chalk color be acceptable for my green table and will it...

I use Tiger Everest tips on all of my cues and shape them like a dime with a Last4Ever tip tool. I do play and/or practice daily and it seems like I need to reshape the tip after every session. Is this normal for this particular tip? Should I consider switching brands of tips? I might add...

Has anyone tried the Tiger Icebreaker tip on their break cue. I am thinking of replacing my current totally phenolic tip with this one to obtain better control of the cue ball. Also, I plan to use a quarter tip shape or less. I appreciate any feedback.

If this has been discussed before, my sincere apologies for reposting. I made a horrible mistake and cleaned a ferrule with Aramith ball cleaner and got some on the shaft, which destroyed the polyurethane. Is there an easy fix for me, like using clear paint with Acrylic Polyurethene? I...

Does anyone happen to have a dime size Last 4 Ever Tip Tool. I just got one and it is the best that I've ever seen. A perfect dime size every time along with a burnisher and scrapers. And, no sandpaper to replace. Just wondering.

Does anyone know if leagues exist in Costa Rica that will accept Gringos as players?

Has anyone else found that with the Delta 13 elite rack it is hard to freeze all balls in a 9 ball rack. I have new cloth, new Aramith Super Pro balls but I can not keep all the balls frozen all the time. My magic rack is much better for 9 ball. Any opinions?

Does anyone have burn marks on their home table leading from the breaking point to the head ball? I use Gorina Basalt - the only cloth available in Costa Rica. And, can you get them off? Thank you in advance for any replies.

I hope that this is not out of line but I have a question. Has anybody here ever used the CUBE 2 tip tool? If so, how does one know which is the dime shaper?
