    Solid cues, I’ve hit a couple and enjoyed them. In regards to value, don’t believe it would be an investment purchase, lol… not highly sought after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do most pool cue shippers have very little common sense, or are they just lazy and do not care about the way they package a pool cue when shipping it?

    lol, had a reputable cue maker ship me a cue in a USPS triangle box with just some bubble wrap around it. From the tire marks on the box, it had been run over by USPS. I was lucky, shipped it back he rebuilt it, and dealt with any claims himself. He told me in all his years of shipping, he had...

    Best Gold Crown to buy

    Have a GC V tournament that was barely used… set up by an awesome mechanic… and while I play on diamonds regularly… I wouldn’t trade my GC. 4.5” pockets for me, and visitors is perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is a 3/8x14 Cuetec Joint Just A Normal 3/8x14?

    Nope… my DPK 3/8-14 was slightly different. Iirc it was a different minor diameter. Depending on the shaft you buy might or might not. But many aftermarket are set up for cuetec, its fitting an aftermarket on a custom that can be a problem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How much difference in feedback will a Supersoft/Soft tip compared to Medium/Hard tip

    So on my bull carbon, had a kamui black medium I believe… for me, even after it was shot in and settled… I just couldn’t get used to it (it responded inconsistently). I finally got annoyed, cut it off and put a lightly pressed triangle on. I am very pleased. What I have noticed (for me anyway)...

    Opinions on the Gold Crown V

    So that is what I have… a GC V tournament with factory 4.5” pockets… Plays outstanding I also play on many other brands of tables, and every table, in every place depending on temp, humidity, dirtiness plays slightly different, particularly when discussing banks. If it is in good condition...

    Us 10 ball out of griffs ..nice reminder for the match room complainers

    Didn't read every page, so i apologize if this was already mentioned... Shot Clock on every match... or total time a player can be at the table (as in speed chess) would go a long way to resolving the run out after run out... give them enough time to plan, and they are good enough to figure it...

    Pressing cue tips

    lol... humorous thread. I can appreciate pressing a layered tip. A ton of people i know, don't press... but they do cut half of the tip away to make it shoot the way they want. so shouldn't they get 1/2 their money back LOL... If you want to try it, try it... it is your money to spend. I...

    Who makes the best wooden shafts?

    There are many who use quality wood, turn it gradually and produce a good shaft. At the end of the day, it’s about identifying a taper you like that works for you without thinking… Let’s not forget ferrule and tip combination. For me, durbin, bob Danielson, some older tigers, dpk, jacoby...

    Tigers Cf shaft. Anyone used it

    So I have a Fortis pro (as does a friend of mine)... when I first got it, wasn't so sure I'd like it. I had shot with my friend's (which I liked) and it shot rather differently. I took some time and 'beat' the tip in... breaking, playing harder than I normally do to get the tip to settle...

    OB cues shut down?

    not beating up OB, never personally bought one of their products, but have shot with a few and thought they were decent. However, to be honest... I've known of quite a few custom makers who when you order a shaft... your request for a particular shaft diameter they must consider it a...

    No jump cue allowed

    Always been fond of the rule where your opponent snookers you, jump cue allowed... you snooker yourself, keep using that full length cue :) my rationale, the opponent safes you... you have every opportunity (and legal equipment) to get out of it... you do it to yourself, suck it up !! -Joe

    RIP Curtis Roberson

    Ugh... i never got the chance to actually hit a ball with Curtis, but one of my regular playing cues is one i purchased from him a few years ago at a Super Billiards Expo... every year after, i stopped to talk with him and ask how things were going... He made a fantastic cue. He was a better...

    2020 Champion of Champions question

    That’s insane... she reset the clock. Talk about getting jobbed. I wondered if he even asked to have the ball cleaned, he seemed surprised when the reg came to the table (to me). I thought the momentum shifted a bit after it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
