I’d like to give a shoutout to AZ’s own,Adam Orr, aka ribdoner. I had the pleasure of lunch and an incredibly kind gesture from Adam this week. His knowledge of pool and pool’s history and players is incredible. Adam is a treasure to the pool community. The world at large needs more Adams. It’d...

Hopefully not stepping on any toes here but has anyone dealt with Biggelbach's? It may be a member but I couldn't tell.Thanks,Mike S.

For folks keeping schedule of their high runs on a 7 ft table,do you use a full rack or 10 ball short rack? It’s a couple of hours to a 9 ft table so my practice is primarily limited to home. Thanks

I have a Valley 7 ft table and it seems that the Aramith balls we use(Centennials and basic Aramiths) get dirty really quickly after I use Aramith cleaner and finish restorer on them. I clean the cloth weekly. Could the issue be dirty ball return “gullies”? If so is cleaning them a possibility...

At what age do you feel that age related decline in ones game is inevitable ,assuming general good health and average eyesight? Can lots of practice help offset decline or is it just a fact? Thanks

I unfortunately washed my 18 yr old Brunswick Centennials in warm water and Dawn before realizing it was a mistake. I have used the Aramith ball cleaner and restorer but they still seem to get really dirty almost instantly(table is cleaned weekly). Are they pretty much ruined or is there any...

Has anyone here changed to a lighter cue as their age creeps up? I have a friend and fellow AZ'er who is a STRONG player both in tournaments who at around age 80 has changed from a 19 to 18 oz cue. What are you thoughts on cue weight as we age? Thanks In Advance

Who were some of the Incredibly strong bar box players over the years? The area where I live pretty much is exclusively bar box tournaments(tournaments on 9 ft tables have almost totally disappeared) so I was thinking about checking out videos for players the good folks here think of as...

What methods do you use to "tighten up" the fit of you shafts with wood threads(3/8-10 and 3/8-11) as they slowly loosen up a bit. It seems, in my unreliable memory, that Tim Scruggs once told me to swab the wooden threads with a slightly moistened q-tip and allow to dry.That causes the wood...

Do you feel that cues with points play differently than cues without points(Merry Widows)? Could you describe how the hit is different, please? Thanks,Mike S.

A bit of a deep dive but does anyone know where Jay Swanson’s 57 Chevy is now? Thanks,Mike S

This seems trivial, perhaps, but do you use your collectible(Justis for example) for traveling to and playing tournaments, league play, etc.(when tournaments and leagues still existed)? Some like Justis are irreplaceable and just curious if you use a backup or just carefully watch those prize...

Do any of you use soft sided envelope or butterfly style cue cases(when out playing away from home)? There are some really nice leather ones but I wonder if anyone has had issues with protection for their cues? Thanks In Advance

I am selling my Schon STL-3. It was purchased new in 2015 or 2016. Two shafts,one with blueing from play,the other in great shape . Very slight taper roll that doesn’t affect play at all. 19.6 with one shaft,19.7 with second. $450 shipped. I am having problems getting the pictures to upload so...

If you've not had a a chance to play with a cue by AZ's very own Joey Bautista,you are really missing something.I have ,over the years , owned many custom cues and Joey's cue is the best playing cue I have ever played with. On top of playability Joey has incredible woods and has incredibly good...

Good Morning.I am back to pool after a 14 year hiatus.I really enjoy trying and collecting cues as well as playing and have a cue construction question. Looking at various cues for sale there seem to be far more flat faced, big pin joints being made than the traditional 5/16-14 Steel joints.Is...
