    Replacing LD Shafts Periodically

    Hey guys, I was watching one of the TAR podcasts (I forget which one) and Darren Appleton mentioned something about replacing his Predator shaft periodically. I was wondering what is the reasoning behind wanting to replace a LD shaft periodically, do they have some sort of lifespan on them and...

    Is it worth it to sell a beat up cue?

    I have an old Dufferin sneaky pete (the ones with the pin in the shaft) in my cue case which I use as a breaker but it is such a hassle to get out of the case because it's like a damn club. Since I don't use it as much I've been thinking of getting rid of it and possibly buying a dedicated...

    How do you deal with uneasy players?

    We have only one 8 foot pool table in my school's gameroom, which doesn't take quarters, so it can be quite busy sometimes. Generally, it's one vs. one and the loser would get off the table. Today, there was a fairly decent player and kept kicking players off the table. The regular rail birds...

    8-ball wedged in pocket

    Today, I was playing a casual scotch doubles 8-ball game with friends. The situation was that my partner was down on the 8-ball, which was hanging in the corner pocket. She caught the 8-ball a little more than full and this was the result: The 8-ball and the cueball were absolutely wedged in...

    LTB: PAT books

    Anyone have the Player Ability Test books for sale? Videos are a plus, but I'm fine with just the book. You can bring the book to the pool hall and refer to it.

    TV show Ballbreakers

    I did a search for some Evgeny Stalev videos and stumbled upon this show from 2005. I didn't have cable back nor did I shoot pool so I didn't know this show had existed. :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cti7Dsgh1G8 (other parts are in the related videos)

    Oliver Ortmann playing snooker

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InY14qyP4Uo This straight pool player can hold his own against this Quinten Hann, who was in the top 16 until he got banned from professional snooker. Oh yeah, he also beat Steve Davis in this all round tournament which challenges a cueist's abilities in...

    LTB: An inexpensive case for 2 cues ~$50

    I'd like to see the case options available for two cues, my old cue isn't selling right now and I may want a case so I can carry it around as a breaker. The main thing is that the case has to hold at least 2 butts, so it can be a 2x2, 2x3, 2x4. I saw that for around $50 (or less :grin:) I can...

    LTS Dufferin Sneaky Pete

    I have an used Dufferin sneaky pete for sale, just trying to make up some of the money I put down on my latest purchase. The cue has a solid hit and good for playing and breaking. The cue says it weighs 19oz but I'd say it's a little on the heavier side of 19oz. The shaft has a thick and what...

    How do you ship a pool cue?

    I'd like to sell one of my pool cues to cover some of my costs of getting the new one and I'll most definitely need to know how to send it but I've never sent something like a pool cue before. What is the average cost to ship a pool cue? Should I ship it in one of those tubes? How much would...

    LTB: Cue with budget of $200-$250

    I thought it was time I upgraded from my Dufferin sneaky pete and I'm in the market for a new cue. I'd like to spend about $200 dollars (or less, that's even better :D), the most I'll go is $250 and that's my absolute limit. I hope to make this the playing cue that I won't have to buy another...

    As a pool player how do I get better at snooker?

    Last Friday I tried to play snooker for the first time and it was terrible. In two hours we were only able to play two racks (or frames?) while the owner and his opponent played several racks. :embarrassed2: Also I tried shooting the ball down the rail and the pockets would jaw them and spit...

    Grip and cue ball action

    Recently, I've been messing around with where I grip my cue and how I grip my cue. Today at the pool hall, I saw that I got more draw out of the cue ball if I held the pool cue looser, but I was holding it so loose, it felt like I was almost throwing the pool cue into the ball. I almost drew...

    Fix up an old cue or buy a new one?

    Hi, I just wanted some opinions on what you guys would do in this scenario. I have a Canadian Dufferin sneaky pete, the butt and shaft are straight apart, it's the pin that's the problem. I don't know if it's the facing or if it's bent, but if it's bent, chances are that the repair is going to...

    Shaft and butt not sitting flush

    I've recently got an old Dufferin sneaky pete and the butt and shaft roll straight except when it's together. When I put them together they're a little off center from each other (see pictures). How hard would it be to get something like this fixed? How much would this cost?

    Jose Parica Spotted in Brooklyn, NY!

    I just got back from shooting at Skyline Billiards in Brooklyn, NY and in the back I saw a guy who looked very familiar but I didn't know his name. Then the guy who runs the register at the pool hall told me it was Jose Parica! Sadly I didn't want to approach him because I felt like he probably...
