    CueSight training ball

    I posted this over in the Training area, but I'm hoping for a quicker answer from a wider audience here... I seem to recall a complaint about some training ball where the markings were part of an outer covering on the ball, and not molded into the ball itself. This creates problems as the...

    Question about Bull&Bones in Blacksburg VA

    Greetings, Are any of you forum members regular players at this establishment? I will be visiting VT for the next 3 days, and I'm wondering if B&B keeps their house cues in good condition, or must I bring my own stick with me? Thanks. - s.west

    FS: 2 tins of Craftsman Cues Finishing Wax

    [ I may be cancelling this sale, depending on what I find out from Bavafangoul - see below. I'll update when I find out.] It's confirmed... the wax was ruined when it liquified during shipment. So, the sale is cancelled. This thread should just be deleted, but I don't know if that's...

    Source for clasp

    Greetings, I need to replace the clasp on this case: Replacement clasps have been discussed from time to time on the forums, however I searched on variations of 'replacement clasp', and haven't found what I thought I might find. It doesn't have to be an exact match. I'll settle for making...

    Aramith balls in diswasher

    So I had read various threads (it has been a while, but I think I got a good cross-section of views on the subject) regarding the negative consequences of putting your balls (pool balls!) in the dishwasher. As I recall, these threads carried the caveat that diswashing detergent contains...

    Ken Doherty through to 2nd round

    Old news by now, but Way to Go Ken! He just looked better and better and better as that match went on. Probably looking at John Higgins next (good luck!)

    8-ball rules question

    Had a minor controversy in TAP league play last night. Player A is on the 8-ball. It is Player B's turn, and he plays an effective defense. Player A comes to the table and decides to play an intentional foul (but doesn't put the cue ball in a pocket or off the table), to give Player B...

    Another CTE question

    First off, sorry for starting yet another thread with this kind of title and subject, but I didn't want to post my question over in Big C's CTE review (where this came up), at the risk of getting his thread relocated out of the Main forum (which it is probably in danger of anyway)... Secondly...

    My Tony Zinzola Story

    Greetings, I have been, foolishly, keeping a low profile, thinking that, somehow, things would eventually work out for me, and that: I would actually get the cue that I had paid Tony Zinzola in full for; he would return the cue (that I purchased from JonTravisTaylor in this thread) which I sent...

    getting jerked around?

    The last couple of months, I have been getting pretty seriously jerked around by a forum member (not the one this thread is about), my job, a doctor, etc., and I'm starting to get a little tired of it all. Anyway, I have a question for the group about a transaction I am in the middle of that...

    Matching Palmer shafts by Ryan Theewen (Mueller's)

    Greetings, I asked Ryan Theewen to make a couple of shafts to match my Palmer Model 'D', and I want to go on record to praise Ryan for the results (someone on the forum, I don't remember who - I just remembered: Joe @ bamacues... Thanks! - recommended Ryan as someone who would, and could, do...

    Palmer Model 'D' with new (Mueller's) shafts

    Greetings, Last year I set out on a mission to locate and acquire a Palmer Model 'D' to correct an error from my youth which resulted in missing out on one for cheap. Anyway, that's another story. During my search I actually found 2 terrific examples of this cue stick. Chris Tate was kind...

    Shifting the head slightly to correct chronic misalignment of perceived shot line

    I use a straight-up stereo-vision placement of my head for perceiving the shot line. That is, I place my chin directly over the cue stick (and the desired shot line) so that both eyes contribute equally to my perception. I have experimented, briefly, with moving my head so that my right eye (I...

    fellini style latch

    Greetings, I seem to recall someone selling replacement latches for Fellini/Centennial/It's George/etc. style cases. I've searched and can't come up with anything. [ Edit: after removing my head from my you-know-what I found plenty of references. Nevertheless the request still stands - see...
