I have had an issue that last 3 years or so where a small ridge of wax forms between two pieces of slate. Each time this happens I have had to have someone come out, remove my cloth, scrape the wax then reinstall the cloth and rails. Is there anything that can keep this from happening? I...

I had the chance to play on my table today for the first time in a couple of months following knee surgery and there was a small ridge that had formed almost all the way across the table where two pieces of slate come together. Two years ago I had the table moved, leveled and had Simonis 860...

I am trying to learn how to replace cue tips. I was wondering how is the best way to begin learning this as well as what tools would I need to purchase in order to put new tips on cues? I am thinking about taking some of my old cues and removing the tips and installing new tips as a good...

Ok....I know that is probably an oxymoron as doing drills over and over is never fun, though I am sure some folks love drills. I am wondering if anyone has any really fun ways to practice without the repetitive drills. I have tried 14.1 but I am struggling with the little nuances of that but it...

Does anyone have any great ideas to get the smell of cigarette smoke out of the wrap of a cue? Is it easier to get the smell out of leather wraps then Irish Linen? I sometimes play in pool halls where they allow smoking and most of the tournaments in my area allow smoking. I am kinda allergic...

I am trying to find a heavy duty pool table cover. It has to withstand cats! Right now my table is covered with a thing vinyl cover and about 3-5 inches of blankets to protect the cloth from the cats. The cats are family and there is no way to keep them off the table. Does anyone have a...

I just picked up my new Keith Josey Sneaky today. It is beautiful. I am attaching pictures...When I went there to pick it up Keith also took the time to replace my phenolic break tip with one of his hard leather Thunder Tips. My Josey hits great. Haven't tried the break cue yet. Going to...

Keith called me this morning to let me know he is working on my SP and it should be complete in a few weeks! As soon as I get it I will post some pics!

Have any of you all received your December Billards Digest???? I still have not received mine and I was wondering if the post office "lost" something else of mine!

I just placed my order with Keith Josey for my new Sneaky Pete cue from him. Him and his wife are really great people to work with. This being my first custom cue I had lots of questions and they answered everyone. Now I just hope I don't go crazy waiting on it! :) I will post pics once I...

I just got this beautiful new wall rack for my birthday. http://www.ozonebilliards.com/8pocuedewara1.html It didn't come with any instructions and assembly seems pretty straight forward but mounting is the issue. Do any of you all have this rack? if so how did you mount it? I sent an email...

What exactly is a full splice cue? I am thinking about getting a Keith Josey sneaky pete and I read somewhere his cues are full splice cues. Is it different than say a production McDermott cue?

I am probably going to be ordering a new Keith Josey Sneaky Pete with a wrap. I was thinking of upgrading from the standard Triangle tip to one of the layered tips he offers (Moori, Talisman, Sniper). Should I upgrade? (as I currently play with a Triangle on my McDermott). Or should I just...

I am getting that desire to buy a new pool cue. I currently play with a McDermott but I have been thinking about and wanting to get a Jacoby, Joss or Keith Josey. But I have a couple of questions. The first is do the lower end ($500 and Less) Jacoby, Joss or Keith Josey cues hit similar to...

I recently received a really cool novelty cue. One I had been looking for for a while now. What I was wondering is whether anyone has tried putting a new tip or even ferrule and tip on a novelty cue to get it playing better. It's not like this cue will replace the cue I currently play with...

My home pool room has a tile floor. Having a tile floor in my pool room is nice but there can be problems. I haven't cracked a tile, though I have chipped an object ball, but my main problem is leg fatigue especially since I have bad knees. I was wondering if any of you that have your pool...

With the BCAPL ban on phenolic tips what tips are you all replacing your phenolic tips with?

I am looking at buying in the future a wall rack to hold my pool balls when I am not playing. Currently they stay in the box on a table in my pool room because I don't know if leaving them in my leather pockets is good for the pocket or the table. So I want to display them instead. Anyone...

I have an 8 foot Olhausen Reno pool table which has leather pockets. It was delivered and installed by the company I purchased the table from. I was wondering if there was any problem leaving the balls in the pockets for long periods of time? Would it stretch the leather or cause the pockets...
