Howdy All; Why is it that 13 mm is considered to be the 'Standard' diameter for a cue tip? Is it because Bigger isn't much better or awkward? Because it's easier to remove material to get the diameter that the owner prefers without to much effort or time? Some other parameters I'm not...

Howdy All; We read a lot about who makes the best cues, I thought I'd ask about shafts. A few years ago there was some discussion about a particular shaft that one of the Pros, thinkin' it may have been Ruslan Chinakhov, during a match at Griff's??? Anyway, my question is who makes the best...

Howdy All; For those of you that do or are about to for the first time. This guy does travel with firearms a great deal. Has a lot of experience and starting at 16:30 gets into explaining what he has found works "for him". Now remember, he's transporting guns, not pool cues, but a lot of what...

Howdy All; Who, makes the BEST wooden shafts? I realize that the shaft/ferrule/cue tip is the bit that is where the rubber meets the road so-to-speak. The butt mainly being the engine that powers the vehicle as it were. A few years ago there was a lot of talk going on about a certain shaft...

Howdy All; Pop always said; "If ya got a question go ask the experts." Okay, I'm askin', What and how is the price of a couple of chunks of wood and a few other materials (simple things not gems an such), determined? I mean how is the price of a cue determined. What makes the same cue worth...

Howdy All; We've got a thread on adapting to a New Tip. Fine. Now, hows about adapting to a new shaft. In particular, a Maple LD shaft with a conical taper? New cue came with the 13 mm LD shafts and Triangle tips. I'm more used to 12.75mm tapered with Dawg's Duds on. I like(?), the way it...

Howdy All; I get these emails every so often from Cue Components and they are hawkin' generic knock-offs of such things as Elk Master & Triangle tips. They refer to them as Blue Master and Triad. Carries a bunch of other 'stuff' and does the generic deal as much as is possible. Anyone had a...

Howdy All; Most likely been asked a few times in the past but, I'll ask it again; Which ball do you look at last, Cue ball or Object ball? Also, why? Thanks for your thoughts. hank

Howdy All; The VFW that I am a member of is being "Overly" cautious about re-opening, especially the pool tables. We are in New Mexico and have a Grinch of a Gov'ner. So, my question is about how you deal with the pool tables, balls, and house cues and satisfy the basic health code stuff...
