Hi, I am in search of a cheap cuetec or cuetec excailibur cue. Black butt/shaft is a plus. Graphite is better. Condition isn't that important, as long as it's still straight and there are no gouges out of the cue. The cheaper the better. I know there are a few people out here who started...

I just finished the book "Hustler Days". In it they describe a shot made famous by Jersey Red. It is a kiss-kick shot he used in one-pocket. The book describes it poorly and I am not exactly sure what the shot is. Could someone please diagram it on the WEI, tell me how to shoot it, or...

Hi, There are only 2 places to play pool around here. Neither are all that great. I have 2 options. I can go to the pool hall, which has beat up old(non-gold crown) 9-foot brunswicks with old worn cloth. None of these tables are even close to level. I avoid that place. Whenever I have to...

I have encountered the need to use this shot several times, however I have no way to aim this kind of bank. It's a 2 rail bank into a side pocket. First using a head/foot rail and then a side rail. Here is an example of one of the many forms of this bank...

I was watching the match on at noon today with Vivian Villarreal. She shoots a good game, I am not questioning that...I was just embarassed by the way she acted! I was suprised they didn't put on werewolfs of london and have her start swinging her cue around. And then her comment that was...

I was watching 7ball on ESPN today with Danny Harriman. I had never seen him before. Does anyone know what he is doing now? As crazy as this sounds, my jaw dropped the floor when I watched him play...last week at a local sports bar with a few really nice 9' tables that I usually go to, there...

My playing cue and break cue are 2" longer than normal cues, one extra inch on the butt and one extra inch on the shaft. This creates a prolem with cases. I tried to put it in my friends Instroke case(without the joint protectors) and it didn't close. What is a good quality case that I can...

I am learning the game one pocket. My friend and I play it once or twice a week. I understand the rules completely, however as far as strategy is concerned, I don't know much. I know how to bank, and how to play safeties in regular pool, I just don't know any of the intricacies of one pocket...

I have a moori hard(quick) that i am going to get installed on my predator shaft. I read somewhere that people treat some tips before they install them. I think I read people soak them in orange juice, or some other concoction. Could somebody please tell me what I can soak it in? I like very...

I plan on getting a predator shaft for my cue. I have already decided this after playing with a friends shaft. I did not seem to need to get too adjusted to it, I wasn't missing balls like crazy. I also kind of liked the feel. My question is this. Should I get the 314 or the Z. If I get...

I have a Jacoby cue and a sneaky pete made by a local cue maker. They both use the same thread for the joint. However, the sneaky pete uses a piloted joint(a little metal ring sticks out) and the Jacoby does not. Can I safely use the Jacoby shaft on the sneaky pete, even though the Jacoby...

I want to get a predator shaft for my viking vm25 with the quick release 5/16x18 thread. I have 2 questions. First, can I get the regular 5/16x18 shaft, or do I have to get a special viking 5/16x18. Seyberts has both versions listed. A shaft is for sale that has this description: Brand new...

There is a good 9' table in my dorm - I forget the name of it, but it is quality. The problem is it needs recovered and new rails. The major problem is that there are 3 spots on the slate where it was "crushed." There are about the size of the dime - someone apparently can't masse. Is this...

have a question about wood used for shafts. I have two cues that I am comparing(I own both.) One is a sneaky pete made by a local cuemaker(he is very nice and his work seems top noch thus far.) If I look at the bottom of his shaft I can see that the wood he used had many 'growth' rings, I...
