I’m interested in comparisons between various production cue brands. With respect to production cues only, I am curious about how the quality of a cue is measured as opposed to its perceived value. For example: •Cue brand A is better than brand B because the shaft material is harder and wont...

As I browse through discussions and debates about cue's, I see mention made of the number of "points" a given cue has. If I understand correctly, this refers to the number of triangle shaped details on the butt section of a cue. Other than being decorative, why is this any indication of the...

I just got into pool a few months ago. My local billiards supply (no doubt sensing an easy mark), has been selling me equipment, and accessories. OK, its all part of the fun of a new hobby... "the stuff." :) So yesterday I tried out my new "Porper Mushroom Graser." I just a few seconds, I...

I'm no expert. From watching the film, it looks like it works like this: Tom Cruise (the Stranger) goes into a pool hall and starts playing for money. He plays very well. He never misses a shot. He basically cleans the room. After a while, Paul Newman and the Girl (2 Brothers), come into the...

I'm planning on buying a new stick and using my old one as a break cue. The tip needs replacing on the old cue. I was wondering if it makes more sense to replace it with a medium tip (as it is now) or would a harder tip be more appropriate for a break cue?

Not as simple as I had hoped Well...what I thought was a simple bent screw is not. It turns out that the butt section of my cue is warped. The cue maker said he had never seen anything like it. I have no idea how this happened. The cue is an Adams AH/20 "Sands", about 25 years old. As...

The shaft on my pool cue appears perfectly straight (both by sighting down the shaft and rolling it on a table). When it is screwed into the butt, there is a slight bend to one side (again by sighting and rolling). Is this likely caused by a bent joint screw? I was thinking about having a cue...

McDermott cue question No, I don't consider that amount a low price. The price of the cue I was considering was $175. Definately an entry level cue. The discussion evolved past my original question, which was when the higher priced items came into the thread. I've decided that the McDermott...

Hi Everyone: I have a 20 year old Adam cue (still looks great...hardly been played). Still...I've decided I want a new cue. My skill level, play frequency, (and budget) make an entry level, production cue the likely choice. Yesterday, I was trying some cues out at my local billiards supply...

Your help. Thank you. I thought it might be, but the metal versus implex joint made me unsure. I must say, for an 20 yar old, entry level cue, it has held up well. Thanks Again. -Dan

Hi Everyone: I'm hoping someone can help me identify an old Adam cue I own. I bought it back in the 1980's. My finances were quite modest at the time, and I doubt I spent more than $50. As you can see from the attached images, the butt is a very simple, dark wood design (No wraps, no...
