Thanks! I went with that suggestion and he put a new tip on for me this afternoon. I am looking forward to hitting at least a few balls this weekend.

Thank you -- I'll look into that option in the next day or so ....

If the ferule is left unscathed after installation of the new tip, then I would even travel out of county. I'm near Dodger Stadium.

I have a shaft with an ivory ferule that needs a new tip, and am looking for some recommendations for someone who can safely put tips on custom cues?

Echo Park (near the Dodger Stadium); about 2.5 miles from downtown.

Thank you for the suggestions. The gentleman at this particular facility told me today that cue tip repair will resume in about a month, but the exact time frame when that service will resume is uncertain. I will look into the other options mentioned in this thread.

I have a Joss West with a natural material ferule and am in need of a new tip (13 mm). Back in the days, Little Al was the only person who ever put on new tips for me. Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area, with a nice professional lathe, who is available to put on a new tip (preferably the...

Does anyone really think that the police (if they receive a complaint) are going to even spend the time to write up a report and potentially investigate the incident, and then potentially turn this over to the D.A. for potential further investigation and prosecution? And, does anyone really...

Sad news ... I played there quite a bit about 25+ years ago and enjoyed hanging out, talking with the regulars and sometimes going out for a bite to eat with one or more of the folks who I made friends with there.

I bought frames and lenses specifically for riding the sport-bike (Ninja ZX-14R), i.e., leaning over the tank while needing to look forward -- just like shooting pool. Oakley 143 OX5067-0251 Satin Black

I have an old habit of using the chalk as a marker of where I want my cue ball to land when the shot is over; e.g., the target spot for the cue ball to land is the location of the chalk *plus* a certain imaginary distance from the rail -- the imaginary line using the chalk as an anchor could be...

I have a GC-VI and do not like the sloped rails that cause the chalk cubes to slide off onto the floor due to gravity ... it is a pain in the neck to constantly try and leave the chalk about one-half inch away from the rail felt, so that it doesn't touch the felt and so that it doesn't slide off...

1. 9-ball 2. 8-ball / Straight Pool It is easy to become acquainted with other people playing 9-ball and 8-ball, and perhaps even become good friends over the years. I like straight pool as much or even better than 8-ball, but I never made one friend playing straight pool -- instead, a good...

I think every place that I used to play at had carpet, and I always put my cues that I wasn't using underneath the table, including, a house break cue at times.

@PoolFan101 has indicated he/she invested 3 hours via a messenger application to make the $800.00 sale, and he/she cared enough to post a thread in this forum over the issue. As such, the O.P. is reluctant to incur a loss of $50.00 on a deal where he/she had hoped to make some money. The odds...

I do not have time to read the whole thread, sorry. But in response to the initial question of what to do, consider the following course of action: Send a well-thought out letter to the buyer explaining the costs incurred to date, monies received, monies refunded .... Explain that you are not...

I played for several years in my youth, sometimes up to about 40 hours per week. I have never seriously considered playing in a league, and probably never will play on one. Playing pool does not rely upon playing in a league, and it certainly does not depend up whether everyone in this forum...

How about an old McDermott on ebay from someone who has a very high reputation? A quick search revealed that there are even some reasonably priced new ones listed. I've been playing at home with an old McDermott (from the late 80s or early 90s) during the pandemic because I cannot figure out...

I use the Aramith red circle 2-1/4. I bought it from Seyberts to guarantee that it was a genuine Aramith ball. For me, it is as simple as having played a zillion hours in my youth with a red circle and I wanted the same experience now that I am twice the age I was since the last time I played.

I recently got a good deal on a brand new GC-VI -- a 9' tournament edition, automatic ball return, Simonis Green cloth, .... The rails are sloped such that the chalk will slide onto the floor unless it is placed very close to where the rubber/felt meets the rail with the diamonds on it. If you...
