    Bar box 8 ball break- head on or 2nd ball?

    If my opponent gives me a loose rack, I'll hit the second ball and try to sink the 8. With a tight rack, I'll aim for the head ball. A head-ball-break, for me, leads to a better spread and a better chance to run out.

    mushroom shavers

    While I will sometimes use the Mushroom Grazer, I usually use the Cut Rite to trim a mushroomed tip. The Cut Rite has a guide that rests on the ferrule to help trim the tip flush with the ferrule and to help prevent nicking the ferrule...

    Sandman Shaper from Seybert's

    Buyer beware.. Action Elite Case ACL24

    I have an Action case. The tubes do seem to be too deep. I stuck a couple inches of rolled up cardboard and a piece of foam down a couple of the tubes to make it easier to retrieve the butts. For a cheap case, this setup works fine. I am looking forward to buying a Halliburton case, though.
