I have seen some info on a site called Go Custom cues. They offer carbon fiber snooker shafts. A friend of mine was interested so I tried to look it up. I am using firefox as my browser and when I enter the url I get a warning and it won't go any further. Anybody else familiar with this company?

On a podcast it was mentioned that Larry Nevel had passed away. I was surprised that there was no mention of it on the forum. Is it true?

Two days ago I get to the room and start warming up, when the game (1P) starts we rack the balls and notice the 14 ball is missing. We do the search and can't find it. In order to play we take a 14 ball from another table. The table is a new 9' Pro-Am ball return. I also know that the table had...

Sorry I don't have a photo, but I saw a three piece cue the other day and was wondering what it might be. It had points nothing real fancy, there was a small circle with the letters TC on the butt, the due did appear to be quite old. My first thought was it might be a titlest conversion.

Has anyone had any experiance with removing the butt cap from a Schon? Don't want to just tear into it. Thanks

Touching ball. Cue ball is touching a color and you need to shot a color. Can you designate another color for the shot? Example touching the black but designates the blue, is the legal? I understand you cannot move the black. Thanks

Some one told about an alternative to Simonis called Royal Pro, I have never heard of it and I was wondering if anyone has tried it out. Any info would be appreciated.

I have seen guys using a back of the cue extension for a shot and was wondering would you be allowed to use a mid cue extension in the same manner. That is put it on and then take it off. Never seen it done that way.

What is the rule if you are touching a color ball, say blue for example, and you must hit a lower color ball, say yellow (all the reds are gone). Can you just shoot away and not have a foul? Thanks

Hope this makes sense.One of the guys that comes to AZ for the winter always mentions a tournament that he goes to in the summer. He's from the Duluth, MN area. Think this years winner might have been Corey Deuel. I can't remember seeing anything about a tournament in that area, I'm also not...

I believe at one time it was possible to buy a tournament used Diamond table. Our rec organizaton is considering get a table and the possibility of a tournament used one has been raised. Is this still possible? It would have to be a for a 9' model.

Anyone have any idea what's happening? Recently we started getting black marks on the balls, they do come off but not easily. the table has plastic pockets so it's probably not a dye. The balls are cleaned every now and then with Aramith ball cleaner in a homemade cleaning machine. Not an end...

Just watched some of the 2016 straight pool on chalkysticks and something happened that I didn't understand. They played down to 1 ball reracked, and then shot the remaining ball, but instead of playing a break shot as usual they then did a reracked to a full rack. Was there some local rule in...

See Kamui has come out with a clear bridge head. Just wondering if anyone has had an chance to try it out and what did you think. As always a bit pricey, it is kamui. Tired of some of the junky bridges our local room provdes.

I've been thinking about this and wonder if anyone else has had the same thought. I might be interested in buying a new cue, specifcally a Schon, but I really don't need the shaft since I already have a number of extra shafts that would fit the butt. Do you think it would be possible to find...

Just watched the SVB vs Morra match. Nice come back by Shane to win 8-6. Very good stream, restrained commentary enjoyed it.

Just watched the first match, the stream was very choppy. Anyone else have any issues? Thanks

First, watched almost all the matches and really enjoyed it with one exception, I had a very difficult time in determining which ball was which. I wish they would come out with a set of balls made for streaming, the Aramith TV ball set has issues as does the Cyclop. Anyone else feel the same...

Just got back to my IL house and started to to hits some balls. Each year I notice that when I first return the balls seem "dead". I'm wondering if the temp effects the balls, they have been in my lower level all winter with the room temp about 55 degrees. They just dont sem to break that well...

One of the guys playing today brought out an old piece of chalk that we had never heard of. Brand name is Takane any special about it? yhanks
