So, as some background info, one of my biggest strengths as a pool player was always my shot making. Whenever I really, really need to make a difficult shot, for some reason I was able to dial in my concentration and stroke and pot the ball more consistently than my overall speed would predict...

I need to have two old skool maple shafts with ivory ferrules made up. I'm thinking 30" / 13mm. I also need the ring work matched (one is the standard 20 maple block Tad / JW ringwork). Who would make me some good quality shafts? The Tascarella shop could do it pretty quickly, but at $450...

Hello! I pulled a cue out from my case and the very bottom of the white Derlin butt cap seemed to have got stained from whatever material was used in the bottom of the case. It bothers me. I tried scrubbing it with a magic eraser. I'm guessing it removed a portion, but some staining still...

This isn't my cue but I just purchased one almost identical at a thrift store. What is it? Is it worth anything. I just got it home, it's straight and actually hits ok...

Does anyone have a telephone number for Ron? I understand he's retired and not making cases; I need to reach about a replacement part. Thanks!

I have a Tascarella and both shafts really screw in hard. I mean so hard I don't look forward to putting it together or unscrewing it. I asked Pete about it and he said that was his compression fit. He said if I didn't like it send it back and he would make it like other cues makers do for...

Similar to two spotted balls with ball in hand behind the line, this is another shot that comes up regularly. The last ball gets worked up table and your opponent sinks it, it gets spotted, and the cue is left in the jaws. How do you play it? I play to cut it in. If you make the shot, you...

Two balls on the spot, ball in hand behind the line. Besides the break, it’s the only shot that comes up exactly the same every time, and it comes up pretty frequently. I would really like to know the best shot from that position. Issue 1: Making both balls. I have asked that question here...

I know this has been discussed on here before, probably more than a few times. It seems the consensus was to store cues straight up in their case. I've always stored my cues lying flat in their case. In 40 years or so of owning cues, I've never had one warp. Not even a little. I've also...

I always wanted these for my basement poolroom. I finally had them made up. I have them in this order as you walk down the stairs. I love that movie.

Where can I purchase some case sleeves? I have a bunch of hard cases and stack them in my closet...I would feel better if they were in felt sleeves to protect them a little. I found the pic below from an old post (not mine).

Everybody likes to share their scores, but beatdown stories are even more fun. I have lots. Extra points for naming names and providing dates and locations. Pool stories are my favorites, but other are good too :)

Anyone have a Josswest shaft (5/16-14 acme threads with the traditional block ringwork)? Need something close to 13mm and straight.

I have a buddy that's a recreational player but wants a decent cue. As apposed to purchasing something on-line, I told him I'd try here for him. Please post what you have and I'll relay everything to him. Thanks!

There's a thrift store about a mile from where I work. I walk around there once a week or so just to get out of the office and stretch my legs. I fount this Helmstetter in a McDermott coffin case mixed in with old tennis rackets. $14.99. She's straight and hits pretty nice!

I'm planning on pulling the trigger on a diamond ball polisher. Should I purchase the 8 or 16? I'm thinking the 8 to save cost and storage space. In my view, taking the extra time to run the second half isn't a big deal for a home table (would be different if it was in a pool hall). How...

Looking for a decent one.

I'm at work but I can't concentrate on work with this whole Coronavirus stuff going on. Last night I was trying to escape through pool. I realize I truly play bad. I mean I really suck. I was thinking about the difference between my 20 year old self and my current self. I'm pretty sure my...

Looks Palmerish to my untrained eye. Or is it a cheap / crap cue? It was only a $10 gamble :)
