    Your 1st Cue, 30 Years Later

    Yes, I grew up at our local YMCA in the late 60's. I remember purchasing a one piece aluminum cue from them for $7 or $8. They came in red or green. I really wouldn't mind finding one of those.

    Sick and tired of Predator “nightmare customer service” 😠

    The pictures show a nice looking cue. I can see why you wanted to keep it "clean".

    Anyone have a Segen?

    I have the S9 and S43. The S43 has only hit a couple of balls just to feel the hit.

    Anyone have a Segen?

    I have 2 and they play fantastic. I went from my Segen to a carbon fiber but find myself going back and forth because of the way the Segen plays. I bought the Segens and retired my Shon's from the Evan era.

    refinish predator cues?

    I see what you mean Michael. That white and black tuxedo looking Predator picture sure looks nasty with that break. Anyways when I reached out to Predator about my "blemish" I was told that they don't keep any of the decals that are used during that particular production. So basically...

    refinish predator cues?

    I had a good chip taken out of my Predator right above the wrap on the butt. I did lots of research and stumbled onto the cyanoacrylate finishing process. The decal under my Predator finish was black and I found some black super glue. After a couple of "precise" applications and some buffing...

    Pattern Play

    After a break shot would two pro players see the same pattern to get out, or would they each see a pattern based on their known limitations?

    Roll Off on my GC III

    It is rolling towards the rail. The roll off doesn't begin until i'm about halfway past the side pocket. The adjacent side has no roll off. I'm thinking that adjusting the foot on that corner, as bradsh98 has advised, should do the trick.

    Roll Off on my GC III

    Yes. Just towards one corner pocket. The rest of the table seems to play fine. I have a small video, but can't get it small enough to upload to this forum.

    Roll Off on my GC III

    My table has a slight roll off when I slow roll a ball into the corner pocket. Is this something that I can adjust, or should I call a mechanic. I think that I have the adjustable feet and was thinking of a bottle jack and a twist of the foot on that corner??

    CA clearcoat SS joint.

    A thin layer of grease would stop the glue finish from sticking. I'm sure the petroleum jelly as mentioned above would do the same. I just watched a video of appling c a glue finish on a lathe turned pen on a woodworking channel. A thin layer of grease was spread on the metal parts that...

    Can anyone repair this??

    Can you give me some tips on how to buff this. I don't have a lathe, but I do have a dremel with some hard cloth buffing pads. I think that I can get fairly precise with this. Would I use any type of compound??

    Can anyone repair this??

    I have thought about doing this also. But I just ordered some epoxy dye and am going to give this a try.

    Can anyone repair this??

    Well, I glued the chip back into place. The first photo is after glueing the chip back in. The second photo is after I cleaned it up with some 2000 grit paper, and the 3rd photo is the finished product. It doesn't look too bad but I would rather it disappear. Now I am thinking of dabbing a...

    Can anyone repair this??

    So in the cue world, ebony and ebony wood are two different items?? That is sad.

    Can anyone repair this??

    I've been thinking about this method of repair also. I tried clear nail polish on a small chip in the finish of another cue that I previously owned. I went with one coat instead of a couple of thin coats. It didn't turn out as I had planned. I have some inexpensive cues that came with the...

    Can anyone repair this??

    Thanks for the Wheatbuck info. Sounds similar to what Predator is doing today, and turning a profit.
