Bit of a noobie question here... I want to attempt to install a new tip on my own for a spare break shaft that I have lying around. It's an old J&J break cue with those fatter shafts (pic below). Would I need to get a 15, 14, or 13 mm diamter tip for these? If it was 13.5 (which I think it...

After the Earl/Morra showdown, John was challenged by a local to play for 500 chickens. LOL. What's the Craziest/dumbest/bizarre and anything in between thing you've gambled for? I'll start with one: Growing up in Manila, kids learned the basics of gambling at an early age. At 5 years old...

Who do you think wins? That's a very good matchup

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRx5w-D3fE#t=35m30s shot starts around 35 min 30 seconds sick shot!! I thought he was going to stun/draw to get shape. Until he shot it. Jaw dropped. reminds me of that corey deuel shot a couple of years ago. I like biado. Reminds me of Kiamco's demeanor...

Hello fellow canadians! Any suggestions where I can get my tip replaced properly and quickly around Toronto (Scarborough)? I don't know how to do it myself properly. Last time i tried, the tip didn't last long. thanks!!!

I was watching Ray Martin vs Mike Sigel straightpool match on youtube when I heard Max Eberle mention a dude invented straightpool. It got me curious, I thought billiard games sort of just took an organic type of evolution. I was surprised to hear Straight Pool was invented. Anyways I googled...

Anyone use this? http://www.ozonebilliards.com/mcjutrcueba.html I don't really know how to jump balls nor do I really care about it. Just got an email from Ozone Billiards today about it and got me curious. This thing is just like a normal cueball right with some diagrams in it on where to...

I'm due to receive a new cue (josey :thumbup:) sometime this week. Keith/sherri suggested not to open the box for a couple of hours so the cue gets used to my apartment's climate first. Its gonna be hard not to open it but I think I should listen to the advice. Its pretty cold up here in ontario...

The Mezz Power Break II Cues are 54 inches long. How advantageous is the shorter butt for the break? Would that be a good idea to lets say ask a cue maker have the butt around 4 inches shorter?

Critique My Mechanics/Fundamentals! I'm hoping to get feedbacks from you guys regarding my mechanics. I don't have much footage of myself playing. Here is probably the best one. It's a short clip of me doing a common drill. Click here to see the clip I noticed a thing or two that needs to be...

What is the best way to achieve this? I am thinking of trimming my breaker's phenolic tip/ferrule combo to make it a phenolic ferrule and install a leather tip on it. I realise it is essential to make it as flat as possible. How can I do this without going to the cueman? Id like to try doing...

I tried searching for apps related to pool. Through the search function I found the following: Breakspeed Billiards101 Icarom billiardmaster Do you guys have any more to add on the list? Please share! I don't think there's a thread out there yet listing all the apps. Lets make it this thread...

What the hell did Bustamante do at 42:45 of this match? How the hell did he do that? lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTGMZVben94&feature=related#t=42m45s

Okay I'm just really curious. With all the talk in the main forum about CTE, what do you guys think about it? lol I imagine snooker players would think it's silly. Snooker players are very textbook with fundamentals and CTE does not make sense and no where near textbook but it does work for...

So I'm in the market for a new cheap break cue option. J&J and the Sparkbreak obviously comes into mind. They are made by the same manufacturer so I'm wondering what the main difference is. Am I losing out much if I bought the J&J shaft over the Sparkbreak shaft? Also, I plan on purchasing the...

They come thicker than 13 mm..prolly around 13.5 (?) Anyone tried reducing those fat J&J jump break shafts? If so how did it affect play? Those things are so fat but they serve their purpose extremely well and at a very affordable price. I was wondering if reducing the shaft to around 13 mm...

Opnions from both the experienced cuemakers and regular joe like me :) If you are to put a wrap on it, what colour do you guys think looks best on Bocote? For both darker and lighter types of Bocote. Black looks good for a light shade since it brings out the Black specks nicely. What about the...

I use qwiz to clean my shafts. But I've always wondered if it actually takes off some of the wood. Every time I use it, the Q-wiz pad is filled with white dust. I know it says on the packaging it doesn't actually shave off wood from the shaft but if that's the case, what's the white dust that...

it's npr but it has to be said here. GO CANADA! Great game! Great win! Damn that Sidney Crosby kid!
