    Anyone wear wrist straps?

    So I found this. The cue slips right through. I guess it can keep your wrist straight and hold the cue for you. I don’t but tried it on for the Instagram.

    Who remembers this?

    I have owned about 3 of these little velvet sleeves. Or at least locally when you bought a cue they would put it in these sleeves even if it wasn’t a Lucasi. Never owned a Lucasi but I know them for these slick sleeves. Not just me either. There was a time when people were using them to...

    Help…in search of the oldest cue I can get

    With that said it must be a two piece like a chicken dinner. It seems like Brunswick is the way. Original Hoppe ring? Anyways I know I can hit the vintage market but any antique cues? Anything over 100 years old. So 1924 or earlier. Are there two pieces in the 20’s? What should man be...

    How to combat slow players?

    Anyone got an issue with this? I tried playing safety to snap him out of his own torturous self and for my sanity. The safety shots seem to work the best since the best thing to do is kick at it. No need to take your time to just kick. It seem to work but as soon as its his turn with a shot...

    Does anyone call a miscue hit a foul if the ball lifts off the table?

    I notice nobody calls this and from my understanding, it is always a foul even if it hits the correct object ball. A miscue where the ball gets off the table is a scoop jump. Maybe just my neck of the woods. A lot of people at my pool room continue play like its a missed shot.

    Predator True-splice (full splice)

    I'm starting to dabble into professional equipment after years of playing with custom cues. I grew up before the days of professional equipment. All we had were customs to rely our game on. Well, this is 2024 and there are tons of professional equipment that hits very accurate. Manipulating...

    What tip you do you play with?

    Been out of the loop with tips except playing with Moori. I know he no longer makes his tips and haven't for some time now but this is what I play with. I may be due for a new tip. What do you play with and how does it play? What are some of the best out there?

    Break cue/jump cue forfeit?

    So those who break down their cue to jump leads to a forfeit? If you can get disqualified for changing a shaft then what about those people that break down their break cues to jump? Some of them are the break/jump combo cues. Hmmm…..

    Predator Aspire vs. Mezz Axi

    So I was convinced I needed a cue for a friend and if she didn't like it then it's mine. Great suggestions from the budget thread by the way. If there is a possibility of it being mine then I would like to know what do you think about the Aspire and Mezz Axi? Which one would you choose out of...

    Anyone see that Blackboar cue on Facebook? Ouch.

    Whoever let that out of the shop intentional or not should be fired. Yikes. I once called a cuemaker and asked him if he can sell me his mess ups or cues not so perfect and he said no. I even requested him to erase his trademark/name off the cue and he still said no. The pain. The good...

    Everyone signing with Matchroom so is Matchroom now starting a league?

    They signed all the hotness and most likely not allowing their players to play outside of their league. Filler locked up and now I'm hearing the Ko brothers? If you're not playing in the NBA or NFL then you suck. I'm assuming if you're not with Matchroom then you are a minor league player?

    Not bad for viewing. It's very therapeutic for some reason. Kind of like watching a fireplace.

    "I always sell my cues for a profit" sellers

    What is up with these guys on here and this term was brought to my attention years ago. A fellow pool player collected cues and would play with them and sell them once the regulars get use to seeing him play with it. Kind of like "its my personal cue" and you better offer me something decent...

    My aiming system is guessing....who use the Guessing System?

    When I approach a shot I look where I need to hit the object ball and how the impact affects the cue ball. I bend down look, stroke it a few times and shoot. No looking at ghost ball or lines or any other principle applied. I call it the guessing system but what system would this be? I don't...
