    what new rails and pocket options for 8 foot Global table?

    Never know whether to put a post like this here or in the Main Forum for best visibility, guess I will start here... Our Moose Lodge 8 foot Global coin op table (with "Global" name in the 4 silver corner areas) gets a lot of play. We had Simonis 860 put on it just over 2 years ago and it is...

    problem with Instroke case with glue residue on cue shaft?

    I am on my second Instroke 3x7 Premier black case and yesterday when I took my break cue shaft and butt out there was some kind of bluish glue residue on the shaft that was very stubborn to come off with a magic eraser or a paper towel (both with or without water). Came off fine when I got back...

    Porper Cut-Rite for tip install?

    This tool looks an very overly simplified Willard tip tool as both have cutting blades that you initially adjust and then gradually smaller as the tip is trimmed down, which could be challenging if you do not get the tip glued on squarely. Yes, I've watched the Willard tip installer video and...

    Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

    Tried doing a search for this and didn't find anything. Going to one of my old league spots to get some tip work. Usually I get G2, Kamikaze brown or similar layer tips installed. They are usually medium (old preference) and lately soft. I also request the installer do an inward taper on the...

    do the pros outweigh the cons when using quality shaft wax?

    Did some searching here and many seem to like wood shaft waxes like Renaissance, Longoni, Molinari and others. Some have reported the wax melting or getting sticky in warm conditions. Others say it is expensive (first two I mentioned) to very expensive (Molinari). Others have said they don't...

    why do some non-factory / 3rd party shafts fit so tightly on the joint pin

    I got a 12.5mm kielwood lightly roasted shaft yesterday. Looks very nice except for one problem. I have 5 butts that have a 3/8x10 joint pin. The 3 custom cues have a 3/8x10 modified pin, the 2 Schmelkes I own have a standard 3/8x10 pin. The new I recieved seems to be very tightly tapped for...

    Instroke (and similar) case tweak if you carry accessories

    Last week I put together the following tweak setup so the top carry strap on my new Instroke 3x7 black vinyl case will not be exposed to excessive wear. I did this because I was starting to see wear on an older case (same brand and model) as I have a lightweight good sized locking carabiner, a...

    Instroke cases smaller and more textured vinyl?

    I got my first 3x7 Instroke black vinyl from Nielsen's Billiards back in early 2024 and just received a second one last week. The older one has a wider / overall larger main tube, slightly larger pockets and is a smoother vinyl. The newer one is definitely narrower in the main tube and pockets...

    KONLLEN blue nano chalk

    Anyone tried this and compared it to similarly priced G2, or the more expensive Taom and Pagulayan blue? I do like the blue colors the best and being square is another big plus. Has anyone noticed these chalks helping soft or medium layered tips from hardening up as quickly as they do most of...
