I was wondering if it's a good idea to wax/polish a cue? If so, what's the best way? I own several cues and with time they seem to lose there luster. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the finish, I just want to gain that new beautiful shine back. So if anyone has attempted to wax and...

I've read post on One Pocket before and didn't think much of the game. I recently watched a Bustamante vs. Richeson-One pocket Game on youtube to learn the game. Holy Hell was I confused, so I did a search and read the rules. I am even more dumb founded than before. I just dont get it. Do the...

I got my first jump cue recently, and I loved it from the start. But I noticed one thing, every time I jumped it would mark my cloth with a small light smushed spot. I thought It was because I had an old thick slower felt and I didn’t mind it knowing I had plans to recover my tables soon. Well I...

From time to time I'll read a post where someone posts a great site that has to do with pool. Either has to do with good reading or better yet, just sites that are great to look at like a collection of pics, or old reference info for older cues, tables and history. And I'm wondering how many...

I've been pondering this question for quite some time. I've been following cues for sale on E-bay for years on a somewhat of a daily biases. Dale Perry has an average of twelve (12) cues listed daily on E-bay with an average of six (6) being sold each day. He’s been doing this for years now. So...

I read all the time in "For Sale posts" that sellers post only been test hit or never been test hit. Is this a form of letting people know that the cue has little use or are Buyers really finicky about these things? How much ware can you put on a cue if you play it a few hours. Scuff the chalk...

Need Advice on Ebay's $30 Jump Cues? Title correction!! "JUMP CUES" I'm looking to buy a cheap JB cue to practice with, but I was wondering if any of you may have some input on the ones offered on Ebay. There are several in the $30 range and figured good enough to start practicing with. Some...

I'm a scuffer, I scuff my tip alot to help hold chalk. As time goes by the (Jacoby with Tiger Everest) tip starts to glaze over and I find my self scuffing the tip to help it hold more chalk, which really eats up my tip. Well I just got my new -R- cue and Jerry installed Morri tips. I dont know...

I've been considering buying another Break cue. But honestly I don't know if it will be worth it. I currently break with an Elite I purchased many years ago. I can't afford to buy and try out other break cues and I'm afraid I'll purchase a more expensive breaker just to find out there is no...

I was going to update my thread..... and its gone! Anyone have any ideas as to why it would have been deleted?

I know Shafts are offered with different lengths of Pro Tapers, 10", 12" so on. Does the term Pro Taper, apply to all playing cues which means the distance of the dia from the tip to the point where the taper begins? Or is it a specific type of taper? ? I know break cues have a consistent taper...

Sorry wrong section.

I've searched threads on this site and have not found much info. I've also tried an extensive search on the Web. Not much luck either. I have owned several older Mali cues and have always wondered how old and what era they may have been from. I was wondering if everyone with Mali knowledge...

Six years ago I special ordered a Schon cue. A month later I got an extra shaft with a Morri tip. I loved it, especially knowing that it was a $30 tip and at the time it was the considered the best thing since sliced bread. Well now I hear a lot about the Kamui and other tips and not so much...

I'm always keeping an eye out for deals that might come along. I check my local Craigslist and surrounding areas for tables being sold. I've come across several Gold Crowns but I am not familiar enough to know the difference between 1's ,2's, 3's, 4's and 5's. Can I get some feedback on specific...

I am starting work on refinishing 2 Brunswick Medalist tables. I want to send the trim pieces off to get powder coated. I was think of drilling the rivets and removing the plates. I am worried it might not be this easy. Are the plates glued or pressed in? Will they need to be pried out? I am...

Unfortunately I'm sure we all have a horror story regarding some of our most prized possessions. The other day I was talking to a friend about how he left his cue in his car over a cold rainy night. He said he woke up in the middle of the night, ran out in 40 deg rain to grab his cue out of the...

I decided to order a new custom. After much considering I decided to go with Jerry Rauenzhan. I spent months pondering on the design I wanted, and I kept coming back to a plain ebony 4 point-no veneer cue. I just love the mean simple look of it. Any whoo, I thought it be nice to share the...

SOLD I decided to sell my Rahz cue to help finance a new cue I'll be ordering soon. As some of you know I am taking on a pretty big project and I figured to help pay for a new cue I need to sell this one. Its an awesome hitting cue. The butt is tappered to 1.23, feels great. The shaft is either...
