18.3 Josie for me. Mark Shuman

Lock I will repectfully disagree. The arrow is very important. I will admit to only being a fair shooter. On a good table with good balls though I can be very effective. I have a bunch of cues. From a 63$ Players SP to my Josie SP. I play much better with the Josie and Timeless Timber...

Push, I'm glad you finally seed da light! I've been wrapless for 2 years. Wonderful looking cue BTW. Kevin does good work. He made me a super shaft for an old Heubler. Mark Shuman

I use a 19 1/2 Gulyassy Sledgehammer with a hard waterbuffalo tip on it. My player is 18.3. I have exceptionly strong wrists and hands (mechanics mitts). I have tried a 23 and a 27 as well as a 17. The 17 is too light and no control. I can use the 23, it works ok. The 27 is like trying to...

No brainer here, Downey by far. Great cues made by a hell of a nice guy. Mark Shuman

Try Grainger and Grizzley as well. Never know what you can find. I'll also second the McMaster -Carr idea. Mark Shuman

I have a few to put forward: George S Patton- The man invented and defined today's military stratagies. Niccola Tessla- Without him we would not be on the 'Net and would still be in the dark. Franklin Delano Rosavelt- Brought this country from the jaws of disparity. (Could argue Washington...

Not sure if I can make it. Too far in advance for me. My life has been week to week lately. Is there going to be any oppertunitys for a low level player to play some? I'd probably head down if I could get a few matches in. Play some people that I have never met. Might be a good thing then...

Belated good luck. They only had 2 shooters, so our match tonight was postponed. Good thing too, I've got a raging sinus infection. Went to the Doc's, I got meds, I'll be fine in a day or so. Mark Shuman

I shot a few with a nice old Scruggs with a stack leather wrap. It was stone sweet. That and yes, you guessed it,, My Josie. Mark Shuman

My safety play is poor. I don't do well jacked shooting over a ball or coming off the rail. But my number 1 weakness is cutting. I can't make a long steep angle cut shot to save my life. Even short steep, thin hits are a difficult for me. I'm better on a 9' table. On a bar box, cutting...

I am not a very good player. I shoot with an 800$ custom. I've been playing about 1 1/2 years. The arrow will not make the Indian. But it sure will help. For a new shooter I agree with many of the above posters. Pick a decent production cue for less than 200$. Get a case and the...

I shoot with a custom cue. I suck, plain and simple. I shoot as an APA 3 in 9 ball and 8 ball. Did the new cue step me up a skill level or 2, No. But it gave me confidence I've never had before. It also works on fast and slow tables due to 2 shafts made for the table conditions. I don't...

Jody, a location is a must. Then we might be able to steer you to some local one hole. I see some up at Monoskie's in Montoursville during the weekend. Mark Shuman

Yea I always wanted a Viking. But the wrapless stuff they did was just too expensive. I'd like to see some lower end wrapless stuff. Mark Shuman

Yea I agree. If the rules state, "Start at X:XX O'clock" and their player is not there then they forfit. Simple as that. I make it there on time. If not I call ahead. It's only common curtisy. Mark Shuman

Maniac I'm 110% with ya on dis one. Slandering such a treasured name from my childhood (I mean adulthood). Look at the grouse, look at the grouse, Naaahhaahhhahhhh (insert sound of Moe slapping Curly on da baca da heyad). Mark Shuman

Well Master Cue I don't care for Warewolves of London. Too overplayed. Mick Fleetwood did a damn good drum track for it. But after the gazillionth time I heard it it gets old. Besides Exitable boy has Linda Rondstat and Bonnie Raitt in the background. Excitable boy is also more up tempo...

OneIron, that is a good idea. The thin will wick deeper into the leather of the tip than gel will. And CA is a curious substance. It is a solvent for itself. So the gel will actually dissolve some of the thin and make a good chemical bond with it. That's why it works so well. The thin gets...

RDeca you are so very, very, very wrong. As some of the people here know. I shoot International smallbore and air rifle competitivly. I know a number of coaches and instructors who are not any kind of a master class shooter. I know of 1 who doesn't even shoot himself. However these coaches...
