    Negative iTrader - Did I Deserve It?

    I agree, those Perry cues were not my favorite either but I sold over 100 of them locally to those who didn't want to spend more than 200 bucks. Sure, knock my first inlay cues ever made. No, I'm not better than any of you, but at least I clearly understand the difference between a radial pin...

    Negative iTrader - Did I Deserve It?

    You're right, the buyer should have kept that piece of shit cue and I shouldn't have posted here again since I haven't for nearly 3 years. I'm not sure how you can judge one's cue building skills by reading a few words, but hey, everyone claims to be a professional at something.

    Dale Perry? Oh, you must have gone to my old site linked here. Yeah, I used to sell Perrys. They were a great option for those who didn't want to spend more than $200 per cue. But of course I would have rather purchased one of those Perry Cues today over your used cue which needs significant...

    Jamie, I was asked my opinion after seeing the cue directly. Sorry you don't like my take on the cue as I haven't read a single post on this subject so I really have no opinion about who did what. But now that you chose to use name calling to support your case by calling me a "newbie", I guess...

    Well, from a repair point of view and having the cue in my hand to review, it is clear, the original owner didn't know what he purchased. This is a Dominiak cue, but it has significant issues with it. This is what I found: The radial pin was not installed properly. It sticks out 1/4" too far...

    Shellac based products prices going way up

    Cotton is in the same boat. Expect prices to go through the roof on cotton as well.

    Lathe gadgets for shaping tips

    Great stuff guys. As much as it is hard to beat a razor blade, gadgets are very cool. I use a this radius cutter for shaping phenolic and G10 tips. Works very well. https://id305.securedata.net/omwcorp.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=2 Here is what I would call a...

    Jump Cues

    Here's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong. Break cues typically have a dense forearm to enhance a solid hit which limits how light you can make the cue. On the other hand, the jump cue performs best when kept light in weight. About the only thing the two cues have in common is the...

    Cue sizing for kids:

    I'm going to make a cue for my daughter since she has voiced an interest in playing pool. Is there a general rule for cue length vs kid height when building a cue? How would you go about measuring someone to size the cue length?

    I would need to see if those digital controls are open behind that front plate before I made a decision.

    Thanks Brianna Products!

    The only tourneys I've been to so far have been the local APA masters tourneys, both, 8 ball and 9 ball this past spring. The players only have good things to say about my being their since nobody has ever supported the tourneys locally. I also have brought the quality of shaft cleaning...

    Thanks Brianna Products!

    LOL Dave! I really don't need a fridge since most tourneys have a bar and bathroom. However, I do have a monitor with 5.1 surround sound!
