A friend just bought a nice home Sterling table produced by the Peter Vitalie company. The history of the company is easy to find, but I can’t find any information on Vitalie himself. It appears his only connection to the Vitalie company is that he was the mentor for the owner. Can anyone...

It has a nice look, but I didn’t like the feel. It felt like rubber, not leather. I returned the cue for that reason.

Any progress on your Shuriken Cue?

Wow, how could you be so wrong on so many things😂

Your engineer friend should have been more concerned about snow loads on your roof, the pitch of the roof, and where the bearing walls are, rather than what you are going to park in your living room. And no offense to your brother-in-law, but most home inspectors wouldn’t have a clue how to...

I’d be surprised if there is anyplace you could do this kind of work legally without a permit. And a permit will likely require “sealed” calculations from a licensed structural/architectural firm. Without these documents some contractors may refuse to do the work. It is a good idea to do...

I can’t even imagine what your life must be like! Do you have family or friends? God help them! My advice is stick with the therapy and spend more time in the other rooms of your house.

Tell Tiger Woods that hitting a golf club is not about feel!

I’m neither for or against CF shafts, but you have to be blind not to see it’s only a matter of time before this “gimmick“ dominates the cue shaft industry. Have you tried to buy a wooden tennis racket recently, or a set of “wooden” golf “clubs? I guess there may still be a few players of both...

A sad day when athletes are prohibited from doing what they love to do! Are you kidding me! Have you been watching what the Ukrainian people are enduring. There aren’t even words to describe that horror. Let the Russian athletes go home and protest the actions of the thug that is running...

The question needs to be re-written for a yes/no response, or the responses need to be changed to read/skip.

I‘ve worn progressive lens eyeglasses since I was forty. I need correction for all distances. The glasses worked fine for nearly everything I do, except pool. There is just no way I could get my head into position to look through the lenses, I was always looking over them and seeing the balls...

Rates right up there with “my bad”!

I have a Lucasi LZC39 butt with a Predator 314-3 shaft. I am very happy with the combination, but I had the itch to try a CF shaft. For no particular reason I decided to wait to see Lucasi’s CF shaft. Well, now it is announced and I can find no compelling reason to buy it over any other good...

it seems the introduction of the new CF shaft from Lucasi was a non-event. No big announcement that I could find. It doesn’t even show up on their website. However, Cue&Case claims to have them in stock. I expected a big announcement with a bunch of marking claims to jumpstart sales. As it...

That table was never worth $3000. If it is already in the location you want it to be, and the cloth and cushions are in good shape, then $500 is the max. If you want to get it for less, tell your friend she will have to have it removed because you are planning on buying a better table. Once...

Is it possible there is someone who has never heard the expressions “buyer beware” or “caveat emptor”? If not, then I don’t know how you have helped anyone. All you‘ve told us is if we buy a cue we should beware. That’s a risk you take with every product or service you purchase, especially...

It’s understandable when you’re 79!

You have nothing to lose by trying to repair it, and the cost is minimal. You certainly don’t need a GC to have a good playing table and many hours of relaxation and fun. If you do a search you will find a thread with photos describing how to do the repair. The biggest problem I see is the...

He’s like a lot of cult leaders. He has a small number of followers who believe he is the messiah of table mechanics, but the vast majority of people see him for what he is!
