    Wrapless pool cues

    I have 2 jerry olivier cues, one wrapless and one with a linen wrap. I bought the wrapped thinking I'd use that as my player, and move the wrapless to a break cue. But I've found that I prefer the wrapless for playing. I like the feel, and it's less distracting when I grab near the end of the...

    Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

    I like this approach. Get a one-piece that generally feels like a quality cue, but don't risk something that could lead to heartbreak. A few times I've let friends try my cue (my JO player is 11.8 mm shaft w/pro taper), they're blown away. Simple cue, but world of difference from a 13+mm house cue.

    Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

    A few years back, a guy told me that when people visit his home to play, they use cues from his collection. Not bargain-basement or standard house cues. This stuck with me as a nice idea. I'm about to finish my own pool room, and am considering the same approach. I have 2 house cues that came...

    Yeah, it’s been a tough search. It was a family cue; uncle sold it to someone at the Expo in PA several years ago. I’m trying to retrieve it now. And thanks for the offer with your cue.

    Alternating chalk

    I typically use Taom chalk at home, but tend to use Master chalk if that's what is avail at local pool hall or friend's house. When I make that switch, I'll scuff the tip a bit to remove excess old chalk and then apply the new stuff pretty thoroughly. So - opinions on switching back-and-forth...
