    Cuetec Avid shaft vs carbon fiber shaft

    I have been playing with a Cuetec Avid 12.75mm for a year now and I like it but have been thinking of going to a 12.9mm or 13mm and carbon fiber. Looking at something like a JFlowers or Raven. My question is will I notice any difference going from the Avid shaft to a CF? I've only played with...

    Detroit area pool halls

    What are some of your favorite pool halls around Detroit? I used to frequent Ball and Cue in Lincoln Park and Electric Stick in Westland but both are gone. Well most are gone. I've been to Snookers in Livonia and The Rack in Livonia but looking for some more decent halls to checkout...

    How far away does the cue and OB have to be away from each other for it not to be a double hit?

    In league last week I want to hit a straight in shot where the cue ball and object ball were an inch or probably closer to an inch and half apart. My team was telling me it was too close and it'd be a double hit. At what distance would you say it wouldn't be a double hit? I figured it was far...

    As anyone tried Yesglasses Masters

    Will be getting glasses shortly and was thinking about a cheap larger set for playing pool. Saw Masters on yesglasses website and was curious if anyone tried them? I know I know there's way better more expensive alternatives but I'm not going pro here. Thanks as always!

    Breaking good on one table horrible on another

    So I’ve been practicing my 8- and 9-ball breaks a lot at home on a 7' Wolverine with fast cloth and Artemis rails. Break’s been solid — I rarely scratch and the cue ball never leaves the table. But yesterday at league (on Valley tables, I think 6.5'), I played two matches of each and only had...

    Pocket nail head protection

    I was looking for something to protect my balls from the nails that hold my pockets in. I had to put two nails in to keep the pockets from moving and originally had hot glue on the heads but that kept leaving gluish marks in my balls. I ended up finding this adhesive leather repair stuff from...

    Numbers on Aramith balls not flush?

    I've noticed on several Aramith sets that when I run my fingers over the black numbers I can feel them. A) Does anyone else feel that? B) Wouldn't that effect roll? C) Am I crazy?

    Option for covering pocket nail heads

    I have an old Wolverine table with plastic drop in pockets. I had to put some extra nails in my pockets and or relocate some of the nails because of years of nailing, the nails don't bite into the wood in the locations very well. I put hot glue on all of the nail heads which is holding up very...

    What would be a good two piece cue to make a break cue?

    Background: I'm currently using a 3 piece PoolDawg / Action break / jump cue with a phenolic tip but realizing after using it for a year I don't like the phenolic. And after a year of league play have only broke it down twice to jump with it besides practicing at home. Lately at home I just...

    Any ideas on running a small league with only one table?

    I didn't care much for playing in a national franchise league and was hoping to get on a local in-house league but they're all filled for now. Was thinking I'd like to start a small simple league but all the places with multi tables and filled with other leagues. I have a few places I could do...

    Byrne's New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards

    Got this from the local library and must say it's an excellent book. And just noticed a shout-out to the one and only Bob Jewett!

    What chalk are you using on your phenolic tips?

    I use TAOM V10 on my cues and love it but wondering if I should be using something different, maybe softer, for my jump and break cues to get it to stick better?

    Anyone heard of UPA League?

    Keep seeing these ads on Facebook so I reached out to them via comments on one of their post and got nothing. Soni sent them a message, screen shots attached. Just seems a little off that they can't answer a simple question like where are your leagues at. Lol. Any experience with them?

    How long would it be ok to leave cue in car in hot humid weather?

    A lot of times I have appointments before getting to league night and was wondering if a cue could warp in that amount of time or not. I feel like I'm safe because when they ship they're in hot humid delivery trucks all day. Just curious. Thanks as always!

    Can I add a third nail in my pockets? Pics included

    Ok so my pockets sit flat on the rail as seen in one pic. Whenever a ball goes it it pivots on the two nails and lifts, as seen in the other pic. The third pic shows the two nails in red and my question is could I put a nail in the green spot? I'm worried a nail there could scratch the balls...
