Hi all, I'm looking for a 9' Diamond in/around the St. Louis area. let me know of what you have. Thanks, Jason

Hey guys, been playing since 90's, but mainly 9b. last year i was introduced to 1pocket and now pretty much exclusively play it. there's so much to learn and so much to love about the game. it also got me thinking about my pool experiences and I recall first learning about the game from this...

anyone know the details of where, when, amount, etc? i know they initially had talked about vegas for 20k, is this what went down?

So I just picked up one pocket, mainly because everyone else was playing it and because I love learning new games. now, the more and more I learn about it, the more i respect the game. much of it is based upon truly understanding your opponent and where your game is at that particular moment...

whenever i get close to a lathe, this is always in the back of my head (pun intended). machines are unforgiving. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! once again. WARNING!!!!! this is NSFW (not suitable for work) or in front of small children, those who have just eaten a large meal, those operating machinery...

first off, let me say that this is long over due. btn work and 2 kids, it's not often that i get a chance to shoot, but i stole away for a few hours last week and got a chance to really get a sense of Sung's cue. sorry took so long sung. just to recap how this whole thing came around, both...

hey guys, so this comes up every so often for me. i'm shooting pool w/ friends who don't normally shoot often. i bring my case which contains 3 cues. my friends want to see what custom cues look like. now, when it comes time to play, i don't want to make things weird and put 2 of em away...

so here is my 5th cue. was started a long time ago, but because of work, wasn't able to get it done until today. some specs, wizard tip, mason micarta, 12.4mm tip, radial piloted joint, SS sleeve, BEM forearm cored w/ goncalo alves, african blackwood points, bison wrap and elforyn hoppe...

there has been some discussion regarding the use of gorilla glue vs epoxy when gluing up cores and forearms. in a nutshell, the gorilla glue is used by many because of the expansion properties of the glue that fills up any pockets. epoxy, to my knowledge, does not expand, just running the risk...

like many of you out there, i have seen countless cues being made and sold described as having "rosewood" somewhere in the cue. what does that exactly mean? there are so many different kinds of rosewoods out there, brazilian, honduran, borneo, bolivian, east indian, african, cambodian. how can...

heres some basic pics of cue #4 in my humble career as a cuemaker. haha, what a joke. i wanted to take advantage of the tonal qualities w/ some of the wood that i have. and being new to cuemaking, i wanted to get to really understand the properties of wood, namely east indian rosewood, so i...

hey guys, just wanted to post final pics of my first 3 cues that i've made. i've had quite a lot of guidance from a great and patient mentor. there are a bunch of pics (not best quality, was in hurry), so hold on to your horses. hopefully you'll get the idea of what they look like 1st cue is...

just wanted an opinion from cuemakers: after spending so much time turning down shaft wood, getting your taper just right, putting the tip/ferrule on, polishing the shaft, getting the rings to match w/ the butt, etc etc etc. when the customer ends up getting a predator, ob1, etc to replace...

i had the pleasure of test driving a spare cue that zinzola had around his shop and after spending about 45 mins w/ the cue, i thought i'd jot down a few notes. (i was comparing it to 2 different alex brick cues) there are several threads out there re: the design, points, veneers, inlays -...

hey all, just got word that my cousin has come down w/ a disease that will most likely force him to use a cane and i was thinking of making him a cane for xmas. anyone have any pics of canes that are made of some nice looking wood? doesn't necessarily have to look like a cue. or if anyone...

hey all, i grew up in southern cal and 10+ years ago, i had a cue made by jeff haber. from what i can remember, he learned how to make cues from porper and was a couple years into building them at that point. just wondering if anyone has heard about what he was up to and if he's still making...

hey guys, so i've read previous posts regarding core size, however i had a question regarding the choice of wood. i know that maple is most commonly used and that purpleheart is sometimes used (could be wrong about this one). however, has the use of other woods been used, like ebony or...
