    What type of radial pin?

    I posted this question/photo in "ask the cue maker" forum, but I thought I would post the same thread in the main Forum because I'm not sure how much activity the other forum gets. I am looking to buy joint protectors and wanted to order the proper radial pin size. Do you know what type of...

    Break/Jump Cue?

    I am considering selling my jump cue and getting a break/jump cue. I have a great jump cue, the link is below, and the Fins say their professionals use this very stick. I always hear that the best route to go is having individual sticks, a break cue and a jump cue. What break jumper cue jumps as...

    Pool play that irritates you!

    Well, I will start it off. I play with a group of players a couple times a week, mixed company in terms of gender, skill level, but all have the same desire to win. Probably about 8 to 12 of us play in tournaments we make up for a few hours. I am probably one of the best in the group, but there...

    Fair Advertising ?

    I am looking for opinions as to whether anybody feels this is good advertising, or unfair advertising. I was looking for something a bit radical/like neon blue in a leather wrap so I went with the black blue impression shown in the photo. I attached another photo of what the wrap actually looks...

    Compete without fear

    I have been playing pool now for about 3 years now and I am a 500 Fargo level. In the three years I have been playing it is rare for me to be in competition without some sort of fear or stress over missing a shot or losing. It's the same apprehension and fear that all players suffer, and it can...

    Projector training system

    I am an intermediate player looking for a projector training system for my 8-ft table downstairs. I did a search and the last post were from 2022, and I'm sure technology has changed a bit since then. Anybody have any recommendations for a decent system that doesn't break the bank?

    Politics in a billiards forum?

    This is not a thread to discuss politics , but rather a thread to get people's opinion whether it should be allowed in a Billiards forum. Politics seems to infiltrate everything nowadays, should it be allowed in the AZ Billiards forums? Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

    I want a new jump cue

    Looking to upgrade my basic Lucasi jump cue to one of these below. Does anybody own either of these and have recommendations? I am not a great jumper but looking to improve, and I am thinking one of these two are pretty easy jumpers. Any advice would be appreciated, they are a bit pricey, but...

    Good practice techniques for a beginner

    I am a decent player for an individual who has only been playing two years, but I am still not happy with aspects of my game. I have had a couple lessons from a local Pro, but still have difficulty getting parts of his instruction included in my play. One thing that is disappointing is how I...

    A properly fashioned Cue Tip

    I have only been playing pool 2 years now and I'm doing pretty good. I have 5 playing cues and alternate between them. I have one nice Pechauer cue that I don't use that often because I don't want to mess it up, but it seems whenever I use it I don't shoot very well. It's almost like night and...

    Cue shaft size, matetial?

    I bought a playing cue ,Pechaurer, really nice wood grain and very simple. It has the standard 13 mm wood shaft included, and that's what I've been playing with for the last month or so. I really enjoy the 13 mm shaft, and also the wood aspect of it, and have a hard time using my 12.4 mm carbon...

    On a four-man team, one fellow was absent due to illness. In this case, a present player will play his games, and can substitute also for the missing player.

I was unsuccessful...

    Lagger's choice

    I am going to join a Laggers Choice league, 8 ball, 9-ball, 10 ball, and wonder what is your preference or choice if you win the lag? As a middle of the road skill player, playing amongst elite players and maybe some not so good, I wonder what would be the best choice for me? I have played in 8...

    Waste of money pool items

    What pool related item do you feel was a waste of money? Whether it is an expensive cue, training item, or other nicknack, what item do you feel you wasted your money on ? I ill start by saying the Buddy Hall cue guide is something I never use. Maybe you love yours, but I never use mine...

    Does this ad bother you?

    Does this ad bother you? It contains an F-bomb within its body of text, and seems a bit inappropriate due to the fact it reaches all facets of society. Some people might not think twice about it, but others may think it's inappropriate. It just seems a bit unprofessional to me.
