    Tips being installed angled inward slightly on the outside diameter

    In other words, the sides of the tip I just had installed by a local guy are not exactly straight, angled slightly inwards. This bothers me... should the outside diameter not be perfectly straight like the ferrule? The angle is very slight, but if I use plastic ruler and hold it against the...

    Are the tips of the pockets not considered like a rail?

    I watched a match recently where Roberto Gomez hit the cue ball into the object ball, and drove it slowly into both the corner pocket tips, attempting to bury the cueball behind another ball.

    Segan cue arrived today. Absolutely beautiful. I'll know in a couple hours if it hits as good as it looks. But there was flaw in my plan: Anyone happen to know what the thread size is on a Evan Clark Segan cue? Looks like I could use a set of joint protectors. :sneaky:
