    Custom cases

    I like JBs a lot. I have 2 4x8s but I think my next case will be a Castillo leather one. If not Castillo, then some other maker like above that uses JB interiors.

    Original Balabushka bumper

    On a semi-related note, I've got a Huebler with a brown bumper that needs to be replaced. Was the same KU bumper used? The cue is plain jane and needs to be refinished anyway, so not entirely sure how much I care about an original bumper but would like to have one if possible.

    How often do you replace cue tips?

    It's kind of wild to me how often some of you folks change tips although I suppose it's fair to say that I don't notice a difference if the tip gets harder. I changed the tip on my first shaft after 12 years after it finally got close to the ferrule. Nowadays, I play in 3 leagues shooting...

    Jump Cues

    I was going to say they all are currently hard to find as I've been looking for a Propel for a little while. However, Seybert's has both the red Propel and the red Air Rush in stock as of this posting. Guess I'm spending $500 today. Like slide13, I've used both and give a slight nod to the...

    Best "car cue" cheap carbon fiber?

    I've had one of these OKhealing cues for about 2 years. I'm not a fan of the stock tip, but including changing to an Ultraskin, I'm in it for ~$160. It shoots well and is full carbon so no worries about leaving it in the car.

    Shaft bending

    I had a buddy that had a black McDermott Heartbreaker that would bend if he broke with it. He would bend it straight and keep playing.

    HANSHEW FORWARD EXTENSION

    The white part in the middle would be the stepped part. I spoke with James's wife over the weekend and she said they have gone through a couple revisions for the insert. Originally it was a concave design but introduced connection issues and they've since changed that out. Perhaps you got one...

    I saw it too. Not in sold or completed items, so who knows what happened.

    Help identify joint pin?

    The submitter said 3/8x10 didn't fit. Regular 3/8x10 shafts will thread on most 3/8x10 modified joint pins in my experience. A Revo, Meucci and BeCue CF do fit well. Rhino and SMO CF shafts, for instance, fit but aren't deep enough. They have to be bored out to 38mm or so to work (or at...

    Can you straighten a warped shaft?.....Manwon can!

    Great post manwon. I will give your method a try on a couple shafts I have. Past that, I wonder if something like this could be used or modified to work? https://www.hickorygolfworkshop.com/-tools.html

    Advice on selling ivory-inlayed cue.

    Elforyn looks a lot like that under blacklight. I was curious what genuine ivory would look like as I don't have any. If anyone has both and the time, I'd love to see them side by side.

    Expensive Cue Shooter

    I carry two customs and a ~$2000 Schon into the pool halls I play in. I know most of the regulars in the pool halls I play in so I feel the risk of theft is pretty minimal. All three cues are fairly unique so they would be difficult to sell locally, at least. That said, I have an Airtag in...
