    Cue tip flattening

    I bought a Jflowers cue it came with a Moori medium tip. It seemed to hold up pretty well even tho I probably was scuffing it to often. I put a cuesoul soft tip on and it flattens out after just a week of playing daily. Is this typical of a soft tip or is it the quality of the cuesoul tip? I...

    Break/Jump tip advice

    Thanks boogiman, I’ll checkout the scuffer you mentioned. I may end up liking the Bakelite if I can get chalk to stick.

    I’m a level 3 or 4 at best if it pertains to my question. I have a Rage Heavy hitter jump break cue that came with a Bakelite tip does not hold chalk at all. Using Taom. I have ordered a white diamond tip and would like your opinion on that. I have read good reviews and they all indicate it...

    Jump Question

    That’s exactly what it was. Can now jump with ease but only with dart style. Working on the overhand grip but can’t generate the pop needed. Was told I would have better control of the cue ball if I could get it down.

    Tip help please

    I bought the Rage heavy hitter Jump/break cue. It breaks good but the tip doesn’t hold chalk very well. I think it came with a Bakelite tip. Using How chalk. I put a white diamond on a basically house cue. I really liked the way it broke until on a miscue it popped off, haven’t found it yet...

    Jump Question

    Just trying to learn to jump and swerve the cue ball. I'm somewhat successful but my cue tip is contacting the table. I was told if done right the tip doesn't contact the table and from watching him it didn't look like his cue was touching the table or at least not leaving a mark. Now trying...

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    I ordered the Jim Rempe ball today. I've got one more question. Now that I have the new Dynasphere balls how should I care for them? If playing daily do you leave them in the pockets or on the table? Do you put them back in the box each day? I want to thank everyone for all the great reply's.

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    Just received the Dynasphere silver balls they look great but didn't magically improve my game:p. They have a little of a yellowish hue on the striped balls doesn't bother me but may for some. I find pool a lot like Golf super frustrating when learning, some days you seem to be able to see the...

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    I will look into that when I get ready to move this table into its permanent location, currently it’s in my shop. My skill level is a 2 or 3 so I think this will be a good table to learn on. I make cabinets an originally thought about building somewhat of a rustic look table and using this...

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    These balls came with the table. I don't know the difference but evidently its not that hard if you can tell by the picture what they are. What can you expect to spend on a good set of phenolic balls? I see some for upwards of $400. Can you suggest a brand or a price range I should look for...

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    That is what I was thinking. Fortunately before hearing back from you I took them to a shop about 50 miles away and they said the same thing you did. Saved me from messing up and cutting these down. From videos I watched it looked like the cloth was fitting tight against the cushion. Thanks for...

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    Not sure why you can't reapply. The cushions are still in good shape and rebound well. Here are the pictures I couldn't post earlier.

    Rail cushion or Rail design wrong

    I was refinishing a used table and the cushions were loose. I removed them and set aside while painting the table. I don't think they could change shape while sitting loose but the reason I mention this is that they don't seem to fit correctly. The angle is off or different than the angle on the...

    Should you seal the Slate Surface

    Thanks, I said 3 places to clarify about 6" long bead on each end an 3" in the middle. The finger nail polish remover you mentioned would male it much easier than cutting thru with razor blade. I'll have to look and see what is in nail polish remover, I would think Acetone which I usually keep.

    Should you seal the Slate Surface

    No, I had the slates positioned and leveled before seeing a video on this. Didn’t want to move the slates to add tape to the seams. I ran a bead of CA glue in 3 places directly In the seam. May take a little work to cut thru it with a razor blade when moving, just have to deal with it at the...

    Should you seal the Slate Surface

    I wasn’t thinking about slippage, but a good point. Just thinking about the fine dust that comes off unfinished stone especially soft stone like slate. Probably won’t seal and don’t see any videos where they do. If there was a scratch I could catch a fingernail in I filled with bondos glazing...
