I just got a Diamond 9’ Smart Table for my home. The price was right, and it’s functionally the same as the Pro-Am that I wanted but couldn’t find. Since it’s my home table, I’ll never use the coin op feature. Since it’s on free play mode, the teeter-totter just cycles with each ball as it...

Hello cuemakers! I install leather tips on my own cues with a Willard tipper/trimmer and get results that are good for me. Knowing in advance that a lathe is the preferred tool for the job, I'd like to ask for any recommended tools/methods for trimming phenolic or thermoplastic tips for my...

The cue I play with has a cracked ferrule for the second time in 2-4 years. I haven't previously had this issue, but I want to know if the failures are something that I'm causing. The ferrules are Juma. I replace my own tips with a Willard tipper, and replace when the tip height (excluding the...

Nobody has to know you did it. It'll be our secret... Aren't you even a little bit curious? The abomination I desire is discussed in a different thread. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=401431 I understand all of the arguments for and against heavier break cues; I just want to...

I see dymondwood break and break/jump cues and assume they're popular because of some characteristics of resin impregnated wood. It made me wonder: if the weight wasn't a detrimental factor, would there be any downside to using a solid phenolic rod as a break butt? Does the phenolic flex at...

Hi there, cue makers! I have a Players J/B cue with their quick release joint. They call it a Turbo joint, but I believe it's the same as what Lucasi uses. J&J's quick release looks the same, but the shaft doesn't screw on all the way and feels wrong. In any event, I would like to get a few...

SOLD to a member of AZ. Yay!

I'm looking for a promotional poster or flyer from the 2010 Dutch National 9 Ball Championships. The best I've been able to do so far is a thread result on AZ mentioning the semi-finals in the streaming sub forum. If such material exists, I'm sure somebody on AZ knows where to find it. JAM...

It's forum member Rossaroni. He's part of a team participating in a cycling event raising money for diabetes research. I've seen a decent number of good causes get picked up and run with here on the forum... we sent a group of kids to camp, helped an assault victim with a little bit of emergency...

In the name of showing off, and to possibly help anyone with ideas for taking pictures combining babies with their interest in pool, I present these pictures (taken at 2 weeks and recently at 6 months):

SOLD! Thanks!

I bought a pacifier cue in the W/FS section and had a question related to securing its value. Even though they're not the priciest SW cues, I still don't want to ruin it unintentionally. BamaCues, I believe, posted a form email from Laurie Franklin explaining what they are and why/how they're...

A while back I was lucky enough to be selected as the winner of another member's Pay it Forward thread. I got an AZB patch and a 9/10 ball Magic Rack. A condition of the giveaway was that I had to make my own thread. I said that I was going to give away the Magic Rack and a box of 2 new cubes...

I posted a thread asking about the SVB/Earl decider match giveaway with a somewhat critical view of how things were handled, so I figured it was only fair to praise a good job by Bigtruck. I got the Grudge Match poster Friday, as well as a Bigtruck patch I wasn't expecting. The match poster...

The follow-up on the match promotions left a little to be desired. The match was promoted on the forum, but i didnt see any follow-up info posted. I didn't even watch due to iPad not being supported. Who ended up winning the drawings for the autographed match posters? Has anyone received the...

Giggle :p:p:p

I'm leaving straight from work to go play a tournament, and didn't feel like leaving my cues and case in my truck all day. Carrying my case would've attracted more attention than I want from security and bystanders, so I wanted something unassuming to carry my case inside. Nylon carrying bags...

I know I should learn to play 1 pocket... it would benefit my other games and its easier to match up locally. I would have a hard time getting anyone to teach me without trying to rob me... I play at a high-average level in rotation games and get in enough action when I'm out that I have a...

Scott Gracio 4 Point loaded with Ivory- $SOLD ish Hi all. I have a spectacular cue that has sat in my cue rack for far too long, and I want it to get into somebody's hands that will either play with it or be ok with letting it live rent-free. I wanted to get something on the fancy side to...

Link to original thread: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=284496 I suspect it will get more exposure here in the Wanted/For Sale section. If I'm in violation of one or more rules... I'll take my beatings. The only possible trades I'd be interested in would be guns (locally, for...
