Hi cuemakers. First question. Been thinking about ordering a cue with a satin finish. But the satin finishes on cues i've seen usually aren't very durable. I guess it's because the finishes used typically are for prime coats or are just oil rubs. Is there a way to do hard satin finishes that...

I've a Barrenbrugge cue with a 3/8-16 thread in the sleeve. Does anyone know if any of the off the shelf extensions will fit that? The Mezz extensions don't seem to fit. I don't want to use the slip-on I have because it marks the sleeve. If no off the shelf, does any maker make extensions...

Hi. I'm interested in acquiring a Tascarella or Mottey. Not interested in a big fancy one, but a player. Please PM me if you have anything on offer. Thank you. :smile:

Just saw this on the news: Passengers also will be allowed to bring onboard as part of their carry-on luggage novelty-sized baseball bats less than 24 inches long, toy plastic bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs, the agency said. The policy goes...

I have a 314 shaft without collar or ring for my sp. Some of the gluing near the joint came apart, causing splitting down the glue lines. (my own fault) Is it possible to just get a cue repairman to glue the shaft back together? Thanks

Lots of threads on cleaning shaft, cue, felt and balls. But didn't find anything on tip cleaning. My question is: is it harmful to the leather tip to clean it with damp paper towel? I started doing this a couple weeks ago, but I have been miscuing more often. Don't know if it is just my...

I finally know why playing 14.1 has been so frustrating for so long. Balls always stick together. I found a room around my place last night (just moved) with well kept cloth and tables. The pack spread nicely upon contact. I've always wondered why I can't get the balls to spread like those in...

Nick won lag. Makes the 1 ad 3 on the break. The 2,4,7 is in a cluster on the top of the table. He has a combination on the 2-7, but missed it. Wang came to the table, played a very good carom position, using the 7 to get to the 4. Wang made teh 4 to break out the 5-8 cluster. Got a thin cut on...

Cheng played a push out off the break in the last rack. Valle played a risky safety and left the 1 ball near a hanging 7 ball. Chang went for the carom and missed, leaving Valle a taugh shot on the 1 to the top left corner. Valle made a great shot on the 1 and got perfect shape on the 2. He...

The score's currently 5-3. Here's a brief summary of what happened so far. Foldes won the 1st game. Alex ran a 3 pack on him afterwards. Then Foldes just ran 4 racks. Foldes has the break going and he's playing quite well. He is doing well running racks when he has the chance and he's...

I've always liked straight pool, but I don't get to play the game much. Sometimes I try to practice straight pool by myself, but I always seem to run into the same problem. I thought I could get some good advice here. Problem 1) When I try to go for a break shot, I often get the cue ball stuck...
