    Finding local cue repair service providers

    This may be a dumb question, but how would one normally go about looking for a local cue repair service provider? I am looking to get a tip on one of my cues replaced and would rather not do it myself. I tried using Google and it wasn't too helpful. Due to owning a pool table, I also haven't...

    Interesting Predicament

    So I recently received my loaded custom cue from Chris Nitti, which is an absolute beauty that is flawless in every way, shape, and form. More importantly, I love the way it feels when I shoot with it, even more than my Mezz which has been my favorite player the moment I paired it with the...

    My latest custom cue and first Nitti, Dark Knight

    Here is the newest custom cue to my collection; Dark Knight. I approached Chris Nitti with a vision of inlays that resembled spearheads and bridged points to resemble a crown. I wanted the entire cue to be more monochrome in nature to really make the inlays pop. He suggested windows to make the...

    [Question] Safe to store cues disassembled and upright in a display case?

    This is most likely a dumb question, but since my research on the internet has yielded inconclusive results, I take to asking the experts here who know more than anyone else about cues. To sum up, I have 4 custom cues I really like and keep safely wrapped up in a JB case. With that said, custom...

    Custom Cue "Purity"

    I wanted to show off the latest custom cue in my collection. She is an absolute stunner made by a local cue maker Eddie O. You have probably seen some of his cue making videos on YouTube where it is basically just him making cues without any music or voices.

    Positive experience with Proficient Billiards

    I am not much for writing positive reviews (too lazy), but I feel like I have to for Proficient Billiards. So recently I scratched up the finish the forearm of my Mezz EC7-ES when I failed to notice the chalk beneath the cue when shooting. While it is by no means an "expensive" cue in the world...

    Ball storage when not in use

    A buddy of mine recently visited and we started to shoot some pool. One of the things that surprised him was that I took the balls out of their box in the beginning and put the balls back into the box again when we were done. He was confused as to why I did that and my answer was so that they...

    Custom cues and shaft diameter / tip size

    I noticed that a lot of the custom cues up for sale have shafts with 13mm diameters, while the production cue industry seems to be shifting towards smaller and smaller (12.75mm or less) diameters. Is this because those are older cues and the cuemakers' current cues are also shifting in that...

    Custom Cue Design Preferences

    In the last few weeks searching for a cue maker to make my dream Sneaky Pete (finally settled on Powers), I have seen a LOT of custom cue designs. One thing I noticed is that a lot of cue makers make a LOT of SP and PJ type cues. I also noticed in quite a few instances, the terms "affordable"...

    JB Cue Ball Holder

    I wanted to ask before pulling the trigger and adding it... For those of you who have the cue ball holder accessory for JB Rugged cases, how firmly does that thing hold cue balls? Last thing I want is for the ball to pop out and possibly damage my cues and could always go the Ballsack route. I...

    Vertical line on carbon fiber shaft?

    The Mezz Ignite I ordered finally arrived with the outer box looking like Fedex stomped on it. The inner box with the shaft was a bit damaged through all the bubble wrap, but the shaft itself looked OK. Upon closer examination, I noticed a faint line running straight up and down the shaft. Is...
