Hope this is okay to post here. I figured cue makers might have actual knowledge, instead of hoping someone else is crazy enough to try this. I'm looking for extensions for my wife and I who both have Schon cues. We'd definitely like them to be quick release, and we aren't willing to pay huge...

Having a terrible time finding one place to buy joint protectors for all of these brands. I don't mind paying shipping once, but I don't want to pay $15 shipping charges 3 different times for plastic joint protectors that only cost 8-10 bucks. Does anyone have a source that can help me acquire...

A long time ago I signed up for Meucci Cues' newsletter. The text below is from the latest edition, which promotes their new RB (recession buster) line of cues. I've never owned a Meucci cue, and I admittedly don't know much about the company. But, I had heard as recently as last year that...

Has this discussion happened on here, yet? I've noticed a few different places that I've played with nappy cloth, that it seems overly easy to draw the ball - and consequently, very difficult to draw the ball with any amount of control. I would think it should be the other way around with...

I realize there are bound to be several levels of quality from each manufacturer, but I'm curious as to what the board's general impression of Imperial felt is (if any?). One of the places I frequent just got the approval to have the tables redone, and despite the regulars' suggestions, the...

I probably missed this conversation, but in the rush to create a professional pool experience that was attractive to the public...was bank pool ever considered? Except for break shots and maybe jump shots (which don't really have the makings for a whole match on their own), it seems like bank...

Looking to upgrade my break cue from a J&J to...??? I like 'em around 18-19oz, and wrapless. No real preference on tips at this point. What's out there for $300-400 or less?

Original predator 314 shaft for sale. Fits 5/16-14 joint (schon, joss, etc.). Has the original LePro tip on it and rolls straight as the day I bought it. I've never sanded or cleaned the shaft apart from a quick once over with a damp paper towel now and then, so naturally there is some...

Everyone's had those times where the stroke feels good, and you feel like you can't miss, so you start experimenting with some stroke shots or whatnot. Can you imagine what that would look like for some of the best strokes in the world? I'd pay to see that, and I think a lot of the pool...

I meant to post this last week, but I think it's still worth it, especially with the thread about non-gamblers that just started up yesterday... Before the final match between Schmidt and Deuel, Frank Del Pizzo (the MC) was trying to get the crowd up and excited about the match. He brought in...

Near as I can tell, this is what Corey was doing. Granted, John Schmidt watched it from nearly the same place I did, and he was really struggling to make it work. Take this for what it is- an amateur who's trying to learn from the pros and from those on this board who know more than I do...

I play APA 9-ball here in Chicago. Say what you will about the APA, but I play it for the social aspect, and I have a blast doing it. I've noticed that there are very few 8s and 9s around here. In fact, I don't think there is currently an 8 or a 9 in all of the central and Northside Chicago...

This one's for all you APAers out there. I'm having a bear of a time getting an answer on this one through the local leagues, so I thought I'd come here and see what you folks say. A shooter had ball in hand. He placed the cue ball into a tight spot roughly 2 inches away from the object ball...

The conversation in my last thread sparked this question for me. I thought it might warrant it's own topic. I've probably simplified the question too much but.... Assuming all other variables equal, does the precise position of the grip hand on the cue matter? In my head, I've always likened...

Here's my dilemma: I've been told by players much more accomplished than I that I should work on getting my back arm perpendicular at contact. Nearly every book, article, AZB post, etc. that discusses fundamentals seems to agree. When I play, my arm is usually forward of perpendicular at...

Looking to sell or trade a fairly new McDermott Arizona. Stock shaft. 13mm triangle med/hard tip. I have two weight bolts for it, and I'll include both of them, so the cue can weigh 19oz (without the bolt), 19.5 oz. (aluminum bolt) or 20 oz (steel bolt). I also upgraded the joint to the...

Again, if it looks like it goes, it doesn't. If it looks dead, then it's not. Let's hear it! http://CueTable.com/P/?@4BDOE3CCYA4DSog4EUcs4HATu4IDwA3JaQe4Kaxx3LBrR4MAUj3NCbh1PRIq@

I've no idea if this has been posted before, because I wouldn't know what to search for. Nonetheless... please enjoy. ;) http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=8866516

The premise is this: For whatever reason, the break didn't spread the balls out very well. Maybe your opponent missed and left you with only marginal options for break balls, maybe the rack was a slug, maybe you broke and they ran back together, or maybe your opponent missed and left you with...

Before I start, let me enter a plea that this thread not devolve into a discussion of aiming methods, systems and personal attacks. There are too many of those already. My purpose in posting is simply to share something that helped me. If it helps someone else, great. If not, no big deal...
