I have recently been struggling with my play and have tried many things but just couldn't figure out how to get out of the slump I'm in. My shotmaking and especially cue ball position/shape over the last few months have been pretty horrible. Today I took a good close look at all aspects of my...

We need to play leagues every so often against a team who insists on shooting out of a dive bar. While the bar has 7' Diamonds, there are many issues with the equipment at this establishment that has really affected play for the non-banger crowd. 1) They do not take any care whatsoever to...

I've now had full two weeks with the Cuetec Cynergy, and it is still producing black residue on my hands and on wipes when wiping down the cue afterward. I emailed Cuetec after the first week and their response was that "this should go away, according the manufacturer". I've had many hours of...

This came up in a match last night (missing it cost me the match, unfortunately - well, what really cost me is not getting proper shape to this point). How to make the 13 and get shape to the square pictured? I tried shooting it numerous ways afterward and still couldn't figure it out, other...

Is it possible for a cue ball to get "worn out", even if cleaned regularly? I've seen cue balls at bars that are obviously chipped etc, but this week I was getting frustrated, practicing on my home table and not being able to get as much spin/action on the CB as normal, and not pocketing as...

Had this layout last week in league. I was stripes. What is your first instinct to run out from here? I will post what I did later (This happened hill-hill and I lost my match), but wanted to get other opinions. I've set up this layout a few times on the practice table since then and I still...

Anyone buy from Billiard Warehouse recently, are they a reputable seller and fast shipper? I'm thinking of making a purchase there but am always wary of web sites that can't even take the time to update the copyright date on their home page. Usually I buy from Seybert's but they are out of...

I sent a shaft into them a month ago now just to get a tip replaced (long story but I finally decided to just let them do it). I have called and emailed them and they don't return my calls to let me know when it will be completed. Is this normal? Anyone have a contact there that can find out...

Anyone have any good stories about "defensive" players in 8 ball? I ran into one last night in leagues. I have never seen anything like it - I'd say at least 50% of his shots were safeties, he was attempting to block as many pockets and leave me without a shot as much as possible instead of...

I have tried posting this in sub-forums but figured more people would read this here- I am searching for someone that either has, or knows where I can find original Schon tips that come with their new cues/shafts. I went to local cue shop, asked for original Schon tip, and what I got was far...

Looking for original Schon cue tips, not a substitute but the original that come on their cues and shafts. Thanks.

About a year ago I had a cue made by Jacoby. The cue included a custom design that I drew myself, that they had a custom CNC drawing done for the butt sleeve (although not fancy by any means, it was VERY distinct and VERY recognizable.) The custom drawing cost me $50 extra to have done on my...

Hello, I'm looking for recommendation on Standard-deflection (non-LD) shafts, for 5/16 x 14 Piloted Joint (Jacoby). I do not like the standard shaft that came with my Jacoby cue, I think it's the taper and thickness (13mm). I have shot for years with a McDermott which has a certain (I believe...

I recently made my first purchase using Facebook's cue buy/sell/trade forum. It was for a Schon cue butt and I spent $250 on it, which I thought was a good deal. When I received the cue, it was stamped '#2' on the opposite side of the Schon logo on the cue butt. In researching this online...

Could someone use a caliper and tell me the thickness (outside diameter) of a Standard Schon 5/16-14 pilot on the shaft? Thanks.

My pool team is taking the summer off due to too many other commitments/conflicts and I am looking to join a new team in the Twin Cities (Mpls/St. Paul) area. I live in Blaine so preferably somewhere nearby such as Biffs, Stooges, or CR's. I am an 85 in M-8 advanced but will also play other...

Looking for a Shon IV shaft (ivory ferrule). Specifically in 12.25 tip diameter. Found one on ebay but it was falsely advertised by the seller (out of stock).
