    New or renewed, I haven’t been around since 2012….

    I’m hoping to get back into this. I was at the Derby City this year and really enjoyed it. I come back here and find my account hacked by some scammer. Crazy! Sorry about that happening. I won’t be selling soon, but may sell off some cues after I’m participating a bit more. Anybody know what...

    The future of pool games

    We have 8,9,10, straight pool, one pocket, etc. These are the classic games. These are great games. Why are TV producers constantly looking for the TV game? Honestly as a serious pool player, I think all the great games are best watched in the summary format, for most people. The thing...

    I have seen Coker cues on here quite a bit, but I have no idea who makes them, who trained the cuemaker, inspiration, etc. Anything you know about this brand which you would like to share?

    Design Integrity?

    Have we reached the limit of design? I saw a cue recently which had almost exactly the same ringwork which I designed on my own. What is funny, is I have never seen that cue before and my cue has yet been made. Now, it is not exactly the same, and I think materials are different. . . .but I...

    Leveling a pool table

    In another thread there are people who say a table mechanic must have a machinists level. I don't doubt that it is a great tool for getting the spot it is resting on level, but I thought table leveling was about getting a balance of all the unevenness of the slate. Basically, a level will get...

    No Jump, No Masse Rule

    I saw this in another thread and have to ask. How does a guy learn to jump? or masse? On his own table. . .Good plan but I would say many don't have their own table. Is there a better way to manage this? For example, don't masse or jump unless you basically know how!! Has anyone seen a...

    Rough Tip Shaper

    I'm gonna throw this out here because I know one of you guys will have an answer. . . Does anyone know of a good rough shaper for cutting a new tip to nickel radius quick? Most regular tip tools don't cut aggressively enough and clog when the tip is like 10% cut. I have my home made tool. It...

    What this world needs....tip!

    What this world needs is another medium tip! Seriously, how many medium tips will pool players support? How can I a regular guy sort these into groups somehow to help me pick the right tip? How do you group/sort med tips and decide which one to use as a cuemaker, cue repairman or customer. How...

    What Woods Won't You....

    Trust, related to stability, final cut figure appearance, etc? What do you do if your customer says, but I really want x wood for example? Especially with metal ringwork? Core? Add plastic in the ringwork?

    JB Case after a few weeks or so. . .

    I received this case from John Barton. After a couple of weeks of use, because I hate reviewing stuff I haven't even used. . .It is great. Better than expected. 1. How well does it protect? It protects great. What can I say, it is a JB Ultrapad interior. It lives up to that name and more...
