This old Brunswick came out of a storage room at the assisted living center where I play. I had never seen such a beat-up cue. I felt a challenge to give it a new life. Fred, the apparent owner, modified the cue so the short steel rod slid forward into 1"+ of compressed foam when shooting...

Hi - No reply in the Mechanics Forum yesterday, so I am seeking info here. Thanks. ------------- A local billiards company renovated an 18-20 year old 4' x 8' Olhausen table at the assisted living center where I play. New cloth, rails, and leather drop pockets, but the table was not level when...

Hi - A local billiards company renovated an 18-20 year old 4' x 8' Olhausen table at the assisted living center where I play. New cloth, rails, and leather drop pockets, but the table was not level when the crew was done. They came back a week later but still did not level the table. I...

Hi - New cloth, cushions, and pockets were installed yesterday. Everything looks good except for one spot that has a small snag in the cloth. What is the best way to minimize the snag and its effect on playing? Thank you. Rick

Experienced players - A surgeon does not use a Bowie knife for fine work, so I have been wondering why I have been using what feels like a baseball bat to play pool. Most cue shafts I have average 12.5 +/- mm in diameter with ferrules 3/4-1" long. I am not a banger and am trying to develop a...

Hi - I saw this on Ebay and You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q7Mqm7uXrI I think I understand the principle, but I am wondering why one could not just as well use a beer bottle or other smooth object instead of the metal tool. I would appreciate comments from anyone who has used this...

I'm a newbie. Today I played with a friend in a pool room. Balls came on a tray with two chalk cubes. I put one cube in my holder. We returned the balls and one cube. When I got home, I realized I still had the cube in my holder. Did I steal the chalk, or is chalk considered a consumable...

A little help please. If a player illegally pockets a ball without otherwise commiting a foul, does the player lose his turn, and does the opposing player get ball-in-hand or simply shoot the cue ball from where it lies? Thank you. Rick

I volunteer at a senior assisted living center. Even though I am mostly a beginner, I know enough to teach and play pool with the residents. The 30+ year old Olhausen table is in poor condition with Accu-Dead cushions, rough cloth, loose pockets, and old scratched and dull balls. I recently...

So I have read about Cue Silk, dimethicone, polyfluorester and other chemicals, sealers, and waxes for use on pool cue shafts to make them slick. I recently read about "Liquiglide" which MIT chemists also recently concocted. It sounds like another miracle chemical with numerous applications...

Hi - BCA 8 Ball Rules say: "10. OPEN TABLE...When the table is open it is legal to hit any solid or stripe or the 8-ball first in the process of pocketing the called stripe or solid. However, when the table is open and the 8 ball is the first ball contacted, no stripe or solid may be scored...

Hi - I refinished/retipped the old cue below. It works OK for my newby game. It has an ash shaft that is smooth except for soft grain indentations I can feel when stroking. I am thinking about filling the indentations with clear epoxy and sanding off the high spots. What other options do...
