    Request and tip: Chalk on the rail.

    Here's a friendly tip and request. (Especially from hall owners) After using the chalk, and placing it back on the rail, please place the cube with the CHALK SIDE face up. Putting the chalk face down marks up the rail. Especially dont smack the chalk down in this manner so the dust really...

    Simple tune-up advice,... my game improves.

    Had a guy I respect give me some real simple advice afer he was watching me play for a while. All he said was: "I notice your shaft is doing a little wobble after you hit"... try tightening your bridge forefinger on the shaft." I use a closed bride and damn... the advice has really helped. A...

    What's the best and safest way to clean a Linen wrap?

    I have an old valuable cue that needs it's linen wrap cleaned. The linen is in great shape and original, but it is in need of a cleaning. No major stains, just 45 years old and needs to be freshened. Any suggestions and/or warnings?

Maybe he/she is being hijacked. Anyway this is the first time it has happened on this site for me. Hopefully not...

    Opinions on Moori soft tips

    Hi, I have recently been playing with a Moori soft. It certainly grabs, and I have had to dial back on my application of any spin. Not saying I want to change it yet, but I am certainly not used to it yet. For soft 'feely' shots it rules. For length of the table harder shots, you'd better hit...

    Sneaky Marking

    Ever see anyone put a sneaky "aiming" chalk mark by the OB? I watched a guy last week, that would chalk up then go to the OB and with his cue fix his aiming point then on moving away drop down the tip and leave a very slight and tiny chalk mark where he wanted to aim. He did it on nearly every...

    UPDATE: Long Vacation playing layoff results

    Posted previously about the affects of not playing for a while. Well, I played my first games since not playing over a 3 week vacation. My results were amazing. I literally played my best ever. Made some amazing shots. (Calling and sinking an on-the-rail eightball with a cushion shot from the...

    Got a new Doug Patrick Cue...WOW.

    I bought a Doug Patrick Cocobolo Sneaky with a phenolic tip break shaft, and a Moori soft tip playing shaft. I have never hit with a better break cue in my life. It's a cannon. My breaks will no longer be mediocre with this cue. I'm telling you it explodes. Playing shaft is awesome also. Nice...

    APA dues to go up by 25% in '09. What do you want for the Extra $5.00?:

    APA dues will go up from $20 to $25 in 2009 according to their magazine. 5 bucks won't kill anyone, but 25% increase without doing it over a few years seems steep to me. They say improvements will be a website where players can check their stats. Maybe raising it two bucks or $2.50 would have...

    Next BLUE BOOK; Will it reflect depressed collectors market?

    All collectibles are off. Way off. Cars are soft, paintings, on and on. Collectible cues seem to be off also. I wonder if when a new edition of the Blue Book comes out, (and at the time of press this slump is still with us), will it reflect the lower values?
