For the most part it's personal choice. Aside from having tips replaced until you find one you like, try some shots with different cues (ask your friends about shooting with their cue). You've made a good first step if you already know the degree of soft-to-hard that suits your style. Mueller's...

Talk to your insurance agent. Should be nothing more complicated than a few appraisals, a few photos, then paying for a "rider" on your insurance. Troy

The cue lathe and accessories I use for cue repair. I really like the ultimate tip tool, those shavers, and burnishers since they bring me loads of work. Troy

I avoid almost ALL cue specific products since they are usually simply repackaged and overpriced other stuff. I love most of the "tools" since they bring me more cue repair business. Troy

All tip installations should be done on a flat, prep'd ferrule and a flat, prep'd tip back. Along with adhesive clear to the edges. Anything less is sloppy workmanship. Troy

I have a customer who bought two on line. They are a pain to install since they're VERY hard -- very difficult to trim to size. However, they do hold their shape and don't mushroom. The guy called me after about a month cuz the tip split on him about 1-2mm above the glue line. I installed the...

Wrong size table, billiard tables are 5'x10'. Wrong cloth, billiard cloth is Simonis 300. Troy

Going only by the WEI Table info you provided, try aiming the left quarter of the CB at the right edge of the OB with a center ball hit. Note that the aim is NOT where you stroke the CB. Troy

Yup, half the distance from the sides and one quarter distance from the end. There's the place for the spot. No more complicated than that. Troy

Draw a line lengthwise between the middle diamonds. Draw a line across the table from the second diamond up from the end rail. The spot goes where the two lines intersect. The 1-Ball goes on the spot. the 9-Ball in the middle of tha rack. Troy

Screw on tips are the lowest level of all tips. When installing new tips the inportant things to remember are -- 1. Prep the shaft end -- be sure the end is flat and perpendicular to the long axis of the shaft. 2. Prep the glue side of the tip -- be sure it's scuffed and flat. The tip diameter...

It's the WEI TABLE which can be foundd here http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/%7Ewei/pool/pooltable2.html Copy the "funny" text from START to END and paste it by clicking on PASTE on the WEI Table. It will show you a picture of a table with the balls in the position desired by the poster plus arrows...

Possibly a needy person will be the recipient of your very generous offer. Thank you. Your generosity is appreciated.

Upscale One Pocket by Jack Koehler is a good starter book. If you can get a copy for $10.80 (plus tax and shipping), go for it. Don't worry about Billiard Express' price. Troy

Give the host room a call, they should be able to tell you --- Billiard Palacade San Francisco, CA 415-585-2331 June 25 - 26, 2005 $2000 added I know there's a "membership" involved, but it doesn't cost much. Troy

I like the Big Shaver for the same reason I like the Ultimate Tip Tool --- They both bring me repair work when the ferrule gets damaged... :) Troy

The ends of each rail rubber has one "shim" or "pocket liner" standard. If tighter pockets are desired, the lowest cost method is to add a second shim. Adding more than two will create a bad attack angle which may cause the balls to be rejected. The best method and most expensive method is to...

My understanding is that Predator 314's are 2.75mm from the factory, but I've seen many at 2.5mm. The claim is that alterations void the warranty. Troy

Annigoni beat Haddad 9-5, then lost to Parica 9-3.

I've done a similar shot in One-Pocket but the 9-Ball was closer to the top pocket in your example. Troy
