    Schmelke Soft Tips?

    I'm looking to get a couple of decent house cues, and will probably buy them from Schmelke -- they make a whole range of cues in the $100 range. Anybody have any experience with their "Schmelke Soft" tip? They'll include that for no extra charge, or a "Halle 16 Layer Laminate" soft tip for $8...

    Tweeten Cue Top Sander Grit Size

    I have a Tweeten "Rapid Cue Top Sander" for making sure that the top of the ferrule is properly squared off before replacing the tip. It came with a very coarse grit sandpaper -- 50. That leaves some grooves in the top of the ferrule, which perhaps helps the tip adhere better, so is perhaps on...

    Thumbs up for CheapCues

    Hi all. I have had a couple of dealings recently with cheapcues.com and want to give them the big thumbs up they deserve. 1) I ordered a cue I wasn't happy with; a few weeks later they took it back, no hassle at all. (No restocking fee nonsense.) 2) I ordered a second cue and due to some...

    Shaft turn-down by cue dealer?

    I am getting ready to purchase a low-end Joss cue online from a reputable dealer. I'm used to playing with a 12.75mm shaft (on an old Dufferin). Would you trust the dealer to turn-down the standard Joss 13mm shaft? It makes me nervous, but it seems to be commonly done. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Wrap Questions

    I'm about to buy a new cue, my first with a wrap. I recently bought a 52" Action cue for the occasional "short wall" shot and I liked the feel of the wrap on that cue. Then my wife got a new McDermott (the GS12); the wrap on her cue is slippery, like it's been "Armor-All"ed. (There are some...

    Accufast cushion question

    Hi -- I just got a new Olhausen table with Accufast cushions. If I run my finger along the edge of the cushions, there are places where there are slight indentations -- i.e. it's not precisely straight. Is this normal, or did I get a "lemon"? They range from barely noticeable to definitely...
