In March the week before everything got shutdown due to Coronavirus I spent 2 days with Demetrius Jelatis.* After finding all the posts on here about his MN Pool Boot Camp and discovering I was only a little over an hour away I decided to take the plunge.* I’ve always enjoyed playing pool since...

I have the 12.3mm OB Fusion shaft. I like the shaft, but I have decided to start using a different cue that has a different joint. Would putting a hard tip on the shaft and using it as a break stick work? It has the white ferrule, not the wooden one. I'm guessing the construction of it is...

I have an old D-21 McDermott that has the old style weight bolt. I want to remove it and put a lighter one in. So far it won't budge. I've tried WD-40 and and the largest flathead screw driver I have. What else could I try that won't damage the cue? This wieght bolt has been in the cue since...

I have had a chance to try standard, 30" and 31" shafts and besides the extra reach I did not notice any difference. I'm wondering if I'm just not sensitive enough to notice a change in balance that I've heard some people mention. Are there reasons to not get a 31" shaft if you don't mind...

I've been working my way through the matches from this year's USBT Championship and found this shot. It takes place just after the 15:50 mark in the match. It's SVB vs. Jesse Engle in 10-ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsp0Iee6NPQ

I just watched the 25th Annual Ocean State 9-ball final on youtube between Dechaine and Shaw. Around the fourth game or so Earl started doing commentary with Joe Tucker. I really liked hearing what he had to say and how he said it. Putting it out there in case people haven't heard him...

Hello, I've been doing some reading lately about LD shafts and the different ones on the market. One thing I read stated that reducing the tip diameter helped decrease deflection more efficiently than coring out a shaft and replacing with a less dense material. In my head this makes sense, and...

I will be visiting New York City for the first time next week. What pool halls should I try to stop at? I might play a little, but my wife will be with so mostly hoping to see some good shooters and the halls themselves. Thanks

I'm planning on getting new felt and rails on my home table in the next few months. Any suggestions? Besides knowing the brand name Simonis I don't know anything about felt quality or rails for the matter. I play pool a lot and am planning to start shooting in as many local tournaments as my...

My first post here so I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum. I have a shaft that my dad purchased for me that's 14.5mm in diameter and 1.5 longer than the standard shaft that's with my cue. I've tried to get used to the thicker shaft but really don't like it. I would like to...
