    re-tipping a ld shaft?

    I have a predator and was wandering if any Cuemaker can re-tip it or if you have to send it to predator? Also, the Everest tips come standard on a predator so is it best to put another Everest on it for deflection purposes or does it matter? If it doesn't matter, what tip would you recommend...

    Opinions on Pocket Reducers

    I was looking at the pocket reducers, and they look like they would be good to practice and develop accuracy. I read some previous posts on them and they seemed to have kind of mixed reviews. I was wandering what most people think of them for practicing accuracy. Also, I read that there is only...

    Racking Secrets

    I recently bought the "Racking Secrets" DVD by Joe Tucker, and I absolutely love it. I have learned so much from this video, but I would like to know more information about the back three balls in a 9 ball rack. For instance, does the back ball loose make a difference on where you break? Does...

    About my table?

    I posted a few days ago asking about new felt and rails. I said I would post pics of my table to show the rails and depth. I did not see accufast written anywhere so I'm not sure if they are or not. As I said before, I would definitely like new rails or have them shimmed tighter. I'm not sure...

    jump shot?

    I know it's difficult to help someone over the internet, especially with so little information, but I have just recently started practicing the jump shot and I can't seem to jump a full ball consistently. I can jump a piece of chalk and make the shots pretty easily, and I can jump about 3/4 of a...

    Leaving jump/break together?

    This may sound like a stupid question, but I recently got a jump/break cue and I was wondering if I could leave the bottom two pieces on the butt end together and only unscrew the shaft when I store it. I know if you leave a two piece together for a long time it can warp but I'm not sure about a...

    Is it ok to clean pool balls or cues with alcohol?

    I have a friend that cleans his McDermott shaft with rubbing alcohol, and I was wondering if it could hurt it? I'm also wondered if you could do the same to pool balls.

    I am from south west Arkansas and was just wondering if any one knew of anywere good to play. I have checked some previous threads and haven't found many places that are close by. When I am at college, I can just go to Beezers, but at home, there isn't many places to play. Thanks
