Picture on the "start page" Earl looks like he is going bowling with things on both hands....what is up with that??

Anybody see the royal dinner festivities tonight?? they have an official procession into the dinner room led by 2 guys dressed to the 9s, carrying for lack of a better term.....pool cues!!! Obviously not what they were, but for all intents and purposes....they sure looked like off the wall...

what table/manufacturer has the truest/liveliest cushions?? I know Ohlhausen used to promote Accu-Fast? cushions on their tables. I like to bank the balls, and appreciate a nice true bouncy table. resume your normal programming.

Can you draw an indexing line on the cue ferrule so you can shoot with the same cue orientation on every shot?

I was looking for a cue roller, and settled on the Crical brand, via Amazon. They are well made, have some heft to them, i.e. steel, albeit made by the ChiComs. If you are shopping, take a look.

I got a 30 year old Moori medium tip on a shaft, how hard is it now?? Still has about 90% of its height, looks decent, but has gotten pretty hard and dried out.

Basic design, lots of cocobolo, Hoppe ring, points or no points, wrap or no wrap. Just point me at a decent production cue for under a grand and save this old guy from stumbling around the interweb. TIA

Are they worth the effort? Better off with just a standard Elkmaster? What say you??

Got an aftermarket shaft that is correct thread for existing butt, but is a bit wobbly screwing on. Anybody tried a bit of white teflon plumbing tape to tighten up the fit?? I don't have any tape handy to try, so I wondered if anyone had done it before me. TIA.

This is 25-30 years ago. You are shooting pool; guy comes up to you and offers a cue for sale. It's about a $200-225 new price cue, in decent shape, rolls straight on the table and rail, both together and apart. He wants $75. Do you buy it, or take a pass? I bought it but caught...

Do you find yourself shooting more upright as you get older? Or, is it so gradual that you don't notice? I think of Allison Fischer with her chin right down on the cue, and then Mosconi and Fats shooting much more upright. This just a natural progression?

I seem to recall seeing very small coin-op, bar box tables in the 3x6 size. Our student union at college had a couple as I recall. Am I dreaming??

I have a couple first generation Predator 314 shafts, about 25 years old, Schon thread, one used, one like new. Just curious what the current market for them is.

Are they hollow, or filled with foam? filled with something else??

While 13 mm seems to be the standard tip diameter, are there standards for the joint and butt diameters?? I know I prefer a smaller butt diameter.

Looking for a place with decent equipment, maybe a weekly 8 ball tournament to knock a few balls around. Visiting in the area after first of year for a month or 2. Thanks

I am just curious if any old players used a heavy cue.....23 ounces or so, or heavier. Or if there are any players today using a heavy playing cue. 19 seems to be the standard, with most within an ounce or 2 of that. Just an old guy sitting here wondering.

go to pawn shop and buy a non-descript cue butt that is straight and has a standard joint, buy a good maple shaft to fit and the best tip for it. Maybe a butt with a NFL or NBA design or NASCAR or beer brand. It would be ugly and hacked together, but it would play great. What do you think???

I have 2 Predator first edition/generation 314 shafts,, fit Schon thread. I think I paid about $200-225 or so for them. I have had them more than 25 years. One was my player, the other a backup. Both in good to great shape. I can't recall the tips, but probably Mooris. Just curious...

Light.....18 ounces or less Heavy...25 ounces, or more if you can get away with it What's the consensus of the peanut gallery? Any and all comments welcome.
