    Anyone know who makes some of the collapsible ball racks that are occasionally seen at tournaments, league nights, etc? Google search didn't bring up anything.

    OTW Junior International 9 Ball Championship

    Kudos to Diamond Billiard Products (Greg Sullivan) and On The Wire Creative Media (Ra Hanna) for putting together this Junior Event. I was chagrined when the DCC moved to an exclusive 21-and-over venue, so this is a great effort to keep the juniors competing and improving. If you know a junior...

    Installing Simonis vs Championship Cloth

    I have used the Simonis video technique to install Simonis cloth on my Diamond table and it worked well. Does anyone know if I can use the same technique to install Mercury Ultra cloth on the bed of an Olhausen table, or should I just use the traditional installation technique? Thanks.

    Diveney Shaft Questions

    I own a few Diveney sneaky pete cues and I love the soft hit. I'd like to have him build me a couple new shafts but for a Jacoby butt I own, but Pat will not do it. I'm going to have to go through a local cue builder. Does anyone know if Pat uses any special techniques (drilling out the core...

    Valley Rail Cushions

    I recently purchased a 35+ year-old Valley Barbox for which I bought new Valley cushions from Seyberts. The table played well for a year, but over the last 2 months I've been getting ball acceleration off some of the rails. Now, if I hit a ball medium speed at a rail (not jumping the cueball)...

    Corey's School of Pool

    I ordered some DVDs from Corey's website: http://schoolofpool.com/ I ordered a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything - no order status, shipping, etc. Emailing them has not helped. There is no phone number to contact them. Have any of you ordered from his site and actually received the...

    Scottsdale AZ pool halls?

    I will be in the area in early January (a couple of miles north of Old Town). Any recs on a place to bang a few balls? I'd settle for a barbox if its close by. Thanks.

    Replacing Break Tip

    What is the best way to get a break tip flush with the ferrule on a lathe? I am installing a White Diamond Ultra tip. With a typical leather tip, I usually take the edge down close with the cutting tool, then use a utility blade parallel with the ferrule to trim it flush. The issue is that...

    Cuetec Cynergy Tip Replacement

    Are there any special considerations when replacing a tip on a cynergy shaft, or is it just a standard job? Fiber pads? Anything unique about the ferrule? Thanks in advance.

    Removing Bondo

    I used bondo to seal the seams on my diamond a few years ago (worked beautifully). I am going to be moving the table soon - is it difficult to remove the old bondo? Any suggestions on how to do so - a certain grit sandpaper? Chemicals? Just trying to be prepared. Thanks.

    Replacing tip on Predator 314-3

    I don't have experience with 314-3 shafts, but I am removing a Kamui tip with the clear backing. After removing the tip, the middle surface is gray, which is not what I was expecting (white). It looks as though its not a capped ferrule, but from what I understand all Predator ferrules are...

    Pool Tables in Hendersonville, NC

    Looking for a bar with 7 foot tables in Hendersonville, nothing fancy. Will be there for one night. A quick AZB search suggested Fat Cats, but that is a little too far outside of town. Thanks.

    Matching shaft to butt

    I have a new Jacoby sneaky pete butt that is a little big for my predator shaft (wood-wood Uniloc joint). The butt diameter at the joint is 0.850 inches and the shaft is 0.840. It would be nice to not have the little lip at the joint. Is there any way the butt could be trimmed down to match...

    Uni-loc Joint issues

    I have a custom cue made by a local cuemaker which has a Uni-loc joint (not radial). I use a predator shaft with it and had no problems for about six months. Over the last few weeks I have noticed the last turn to screw the cue together is very tight. I almost have to muscle it to get it to...

    Does Jacoby's Customer Service Stink?

    I was trying to order a custom sneaky pete from Jacoby. I used their online system to get a quote - no response after 2 months. I then called them and requested a quote. I got the receptionist's email address and emailed her the specs. No response after 2 weeks. I emailed her again. No...
