I play APA league, where jump cues are not allowed, so jumping with my playing cue is something I do often. I have a jump cue for the close jumps (8-9 inches or closer) for non-league nights/tournaments. Here's my question; why do I see so many players, even top pros, take out the jump cue for...

I am an APA 7-9. I just went up to a 7-9, so I'm probably weaker than most 9's. A local BCA master asked me to join his 3 man 9 ball team next season. I did not have a minute to talk with him about it at the time, so I do not know how it works... but I've been under the impression that the...

Maybe I'm just going out at the wrong time, but I can't seem to find anywhere to play in the East Portland/Gresham area since Classics closed (I heard from someone that they closed, I haven't actually driven down there to find out for myself). I go to Fortune Star, Pub 181, Midway, Rodders, and...

I have a couple shafts that I would like to have turned down a bit + new ferrules and tips. I'm in the Portland area. I know Craig Erwin in OR City and Tony Counts in Gresham. Just wondering if there are any other repair guys close by? I took a shaft to Greg Sowder in Vancouver WA and he did a...

This is something I've always wondered about, and I've never really found a good answer. The neck of my guitar is tung oiled, and it stays extremely slick under the use of my grimy hands. Why are shafts not oiled? Anyone have any experiences? I don't have any shafts I'm willing to experiment...

I have APA regionals this weekend and I have a question. APA does not allow jump cues, of this I am aware. I was told yesterday that this rule extends to not allow a change of cues period during the rack. I can jump with my playing cue no problem, but I like to use my break cue instead so that I...

Ok, so I had been using Triangles since the dawn of time. I bought a Joey cue earlier this year with Kamui black mediums on it. Both of them split down the side and chunks broke off within a couple months. I loved the feel of them and assumed they must have just been defective, so I gave them...

Like the title says, looking for a box case. Ideally finished wood but I like the leather covered ones too, old and worn is ok, preferably 1x2 with storage, quality and solid latches and handle. Nice safe interior, it will house my favorite cue! Willing to spend up to 100ish for the right case...

Recently chipped a ferrule (my fault) and had an ivory one installed in it's place. I am now getting a VERY noticeably higher amount of deflection. Not sure of the other ferrule material (LBM maybe?) so I don't know what I'm comparing it to... what I do know is the CB is squirting an extra 2...

This may seem like a no brainer to some, but I'm sure most people would be afraid to try this without knowing the outcome first. I have a linen wrapped Pechauer, but I've never been a fan of the slickness of linen on a new cue. So I took an SOS pad to it a couple years ago and roughed it up a...

I have an old 8' in my garage in horrible condition. My garage is small (can't shoot from the rails) and damp. The cloth is apparently 25 years old and VERY slow. This table is definitely not worth putting any money into (maybe if I had room inside the house to set it up). I removed the rails...
