    Help with Cue Identification

    Thanks! Really happy to have ID’d this cue. If at some point, you come across pictures of the weight spacers, I would appreciate seeing them. While I don’t need them to use the cue, I still would like to start my search to find a set so the cue is complete. Thanks again to everyone.

    Help with Cue Identification

    There was a second cue among the set given to me when I bought a pool table recently. It has not indication of the maker, but has a great feel to it and quite frankly it may be my favorite cue. Based on the brass joint, I think it is 1960s/1970s but I'm no expert. The wood is beautiful (the...

    Mali Cue 386-94 #15?

    I bought a pool table over the weekend, and the guy gave me a stack of cues for free. This Mali cue stood out to me when I went through them at home. I have found it to be close to one in a Mali flyer - cue number 15 of series 386-94. I don't know anything about this cue. Any information would...

    which are the latest most popular cue tips?

    My daily cue is an antique BBC fish pole. Is there a performance gain to a really good tip or does the age of the cue negate any gain?

    Old vs. New

    That is my daily playing cue. I just don’t break with it. I occasionally will put the old balls on the table, but I’m always afraid of breaking them so I won’t play as I normally would. I also will chalk up with an old Spinks cube when I get in a slump because I like knowing that, for at...

    Sold 1920s Brunswick Monroe Pool Table

    I have a 9' Monroe which I dearly love and play daily. What a beautiful table restoration on your table. Well done! I would love to see a separate post of before, in progress and after photos of the work as I hope to one day to improve my table's cosmetics as well and old tables hold so many...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Picked up a poker set. I still want to get the suited version poker set, but I do love this set because it is true to the original clay poker ball design, but is also playable. ClassicBilliards makes a very nice 16 ball rack for this set in case anybody is looking for that. Link below...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    As I search for a set of these, the first I have come upon were unfortunately a partial 2" set in England that would set me back around $200 including the shipping. I have two questions. Can I play a 2" ball on my American table or is that a Snooker table ball only. Secondly, what would a...

    Pool Table Cover Recommendation?

    I think I will wait until hot weather and put it in the sun and see how it goes. Since its vinyl, I never considered ironing it.

    Pool Table Cover Recommendation?

    I bought my vinyl pool table cover off of Amazon about a decade ago, and it still has all of the fold marks on it from its original packaging despite regular use. It drives me nuts. If any of you have a table cover that you love, I would appreciate it if you could share info. Thanks.

    Old vs. New

    My cues are not on the same level as any of yours. But they have been well played and loved but no restoration. Here is my everyday cue followed by my collection - all one piece cues. The seventh has its original cork wrap, which is pretty cool.

    Old vs. New

    I love old things and I love pool. So my pool room is mostly antique or close to it. My table is a 1928 9' Brunswick Balke Collender recovered in Simonis 860, serviced, and I think plays well. I have a nice set of standard Aramith balls that I plan on upgrading in a few years when I hit a...
