I am looking for a helpful training aid for beginner players in the house. These seem to offer a logical approach. Does anyone have any experience with these or any other suggestions? Thanks.

For super hard tips on a break cue, ( I have a Lucasi BBII w/ Phenolic tip ) what is the preferred shape of the tip? Also, what are the better ways and tools to shape these very hard tips? Should the tip be more flat? Nickel shape? Dime? What do you do? What do you like? Why? Thanks. I...

On vacation and missing my table... any thoughts? Dave and Busters in PC Beach doesn't have tables 😥

Dynaspheres pool ball sets seem to come in two flavors: Group 1 has "Palladium", "Rhodium", "Titanium", "Chromium", and "Vandium" as their style names. Group 2 has "Platinum", "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze", and "Tungsten". Someone told me the group 1 sets are the "Chinese sets". My understanding...

What makes a CF shaft so expensive? These shafts cost more than many nice cues with maple shafts, even maple LD shafts. Is this just supply and demand? Marketing? Material cost? Complexity of manufacture? Asking for a frined :-) From a material perspective, the carbon fiber blank and...

This is the first cue I have bought in 20 years. I was, and am still satisfied with my beautiful, classic Viking custom F 50, but I wanted to experience a carbon fiber shaft. This is a classic, beautiful cue. J.Flowers JF20-21 with 12.5mm tip, 19 oz total weight, carbon fiber shaft. Zoom in...

I am thinking of purchasing a J.Flowers cue and see he sells on Ebay. Since he also seems to be a reputable dealer here, I hoped to contact him with some questions and maybe purchase direct. If anyone is in contact with him please let him know I sent him a private message here and to check in...

I currently own several "Specialty" sets. 1> Crown Games Poker Set: Very fun and challenging game when friends are over. Black Jack is the favorite of about 10 cool games 2> Cue Mate Chess/Pool Set: Surprisingly Challenging but most of my friends are too lazy to learn it. Honestly this is...

I live about 20 miles due west of Atlanta just off I-20. Any members here live nearby? Maybe an opportunity to meet up as a group and play a few racks?

Their video on their site is impressive and they claim a unique CF construction technology. Anyone played with one or able to compare to others?

I Recently Bought a 16 Ball Clean Gleem polisher. Thank you to 2 members here, and another fellow I met on another forum, who were CG owners, that I searched out to get information from before making such and expensive decision. Without their personal recommendations, I would have waited for a...

I see some here advocate for using a spray mixture of 1 TBSP of Aramith Ball Polish in 1 cup of 91% Isopropyl alcohol. One of the automatic ball polisher manufacturers also recommends this while cleaning in their machine. I watched the video of Dr. Dave showing the effect of various cleaners...

I haven't lost a game this entire year! :-)

I ran across this and was super excited to see what they are doing to offer a great place to play for families, younger players and anyone interested in learning the game and being in a league as recreation. Wow how I wish someone around me had the expertise to open such a room. I would join...

Can't find one in stock anywhere! Does anyone have one or know where one may be found without the 3 month wait? Used is fine. Thanks

I have looked at Bludworth, Ballstar, Cleen Gleam, and Diamond cleaners. Diamond seems clearly best, but good luck trying to find one in stock ANYWHERE if you only want the smaller model, and shipping cost is very high in addition to this being a very expensive machine in the first place. I...

Has anyone here ever purchased any billiard balls or equipment from bluflye.com? I know some people who have bought shoes or clothes from there and been pleased, but the prices seem crazy low. A Chinese made ball cleaning machine is listed as new for about $75.00. Is this just a foreign made...

While I haven't really been in the market for a motorized ball cleaner, I became curious after looking at the forums here regarding the Ballstar, and Diamond machines. This Chinese machine came up on a search engine and I saw it at Ali Express for about $280 shipped to my home. There is also...

My Viking F50 developed a warp when assembled, while the two shafts and butt end were still straight when rolled alone. This is SUCH AN IMPORTANT ASPECT of the Viking Cue Company! When I bought this cue, I ordered the F50 Style with my choice of weight (19oz), stain, inlay colors, wrap style...

I bought a set that included basically everything Accu-Rack makes. All of the rack templates, and the training pack for drills and cue ball placement. From what I read, I was excited to get to use the racks and especially the "Table Saver" spots to place the cue ball on for breaking. Many...
