Been doing this for a while now - I use Kamui chalk and it seems like there are a bunch of advantages to just chalking the outer edges: Less Chalk on the table Uses less chalk Less Chalk on cue ball (hit a center ball with Kamui and you will leave a big chalk mark on the cue ball) Less skids...

Anybody else feel a little cheated when they do this? I realize Appleton has already won the event but it seems a little nitty - like going to a baseball game and 2 teams that are out of the running for the playoffs agreeing to only play to 6 innings.

I opened their sight and the only options I see are purchasing Thursday (today is Friday) or purchasing Th- Sunday. Anybody know if they are offering Friday one pocket only? I am not seeing that option on the TAR websight. Any help or answers appreciated.

Danny made a comment tonight in the finals of the Derby City 9 ball that the cue balls "glances" more the harder the cue ball is hit into it because it "gains weight" (the object ball). Mark Wilson asked him to elaborate and Danny said he has studied physics for years and it absolutely gains...

Had Steve Klein make me this cue - its a replica of the cue Mosconi claimed was his favorite. Enjoy. I did a review in the cue reviews section for those who are interested.

Just wanted to do a review of a recent Steve Klein cue. I have a couple titlist blanks that I have been wanting to get converted. This one is my 3rd Klein cue - and I have one on order. This is a cue that I have been wanting to do for a long time - its a replica of the cue Willie Mosconi...

Anybody know any good tournaments there over the Holidays? I have played at Side Pockets before and enjoyed that place. I get into town the 20th and am there for a week. Will need a break from the famliy LOL. Thanks! Chris

I recently bought a Mezz cue - appears its a united joint. My 5-16/14 lathe pin doesnt work. Is there a place I can get a lathe pin so I can spin my mezz shaft? Thanks guys! Chris

I have Charlie Bryant staying with me at my home for a few days - he will be in town till the 21st - he is in town giving lesson. He's a great teacher with some great systems. I know he's got a pretty busy schedule while he's in town but he can squeeze in a few more for those that are...

I have always been a huge fan of cue doctor shaft cleaner. I usually dab it on a dry paper towel, spin on my lathe and go up and down the cue shaft. I remembered in waxing cars how they recommend to use a damp cloth when waxing your car. I decided to try a damp paper towel with the cue wax...

A saw a couple posts on here about Lassiters cues. My best friend bought one of his cues from his estate many years ago. Attached are a couple pics. Its and Adams cue with Lassiter's name engraved on a silver band on the butt of the cue. Enjoy.

Any ideas of this cue might be? Coster perhaps?

First off I dont have a dog in this fight. Frankly going in I was a bit skeptical - my cubes came in the mail today and I have been hitting a few balls with it. Like most have said its like mascara. I applied the chalk and started in my drill of hitting the long straight in shot. I felt like...

I took a lesson and my instructor has me gripping the cue now at the very butt end of the cue. Will prolonged gripping at the butt eventually wear the finish down? I have seen some cues with the finish completely off the cue - is that from gripping other than the grip area? Thanks!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOU-BUTERA-AND-BERT-SCHRAGER-POOL-CUE-/380364754500?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588f818e44 Im surprised that Lou would sell his Schrager cue (if indeed this is the real deal). They were VERY close friends. For some reason I seem to remember a line of Butera cues -...

Anybody else having trouble - its been on for over 3 hours and seems to have been down about 2.5 of those 3 hours? Is this on my end or are they having trouble?

I have wrap fixture (I wont mention who) that I have not been all that happy with. Wanted to try something new - before I try would like to get some input. Why couldnt someone sand the wrap grove down to the leathers thickness and using a piece of irish linen determine the "length" of the...

Played in league last night (BCA) and had a situation arise - guy breaks and makes a strip. His next shot he chooses a stripe, shoots and pockets it and hits the eight ball in. Loss of game is obvious - what's the score? In the pocketing of the eight ball is that considered a "foul"? If...

Got a customer who somehow has "lost" the weight bolt in his Sledgehammer - anyone know where to get a replacement or the size? Thanks.

a little tighter perhaps?
