Mine are 3/16” neoprene 60 durometer hardness.

I had my Olhausen modified to add 3/16 shims with 60 durometer hardness and it greatly reduced all rattles and also the pocket size a bit. I do think that there is a reason Olhausen sticks with its geometry, although it would be very nice to hear from them about this. I think it may be that...

Willie Mosconi knew how to play but not how to teach it to others.

black or natural.

Viking Kayano cues are beautiful, play great and very fine customer service.

I have a Chinese/Amazon ball cleaner that works fine. No issues and way faster than doing it by hand. I got it on sale for about $130.00. And its $129.00 right now on Amazon and they'll deliver it tomorrow to my house!

Attention Olhausen Physicists: I just had my eight foot Olhausen recovered (Simonis 860) and had the shims changed out to "3/16 60 durometer in order to see if this would reduce the pocket rattle. Changing the shims has made the table play better: 1. The rattles occurring when a ball grazes a...

What a great match and video. Thanks Bob. Question: I grew up in St. Louis on the Mississippi and the table behind the match table looks like a Mississippi River barge! Any ideas of the brand? Thanks.

I’ve bought a number of things from Sunshine over the years. Never had anything but great service.

I had one and it played fine. It got me thinking that changing from wood to CF after 65 years would be a good idea. Bought a Viking Siege shaft for my Viking at it plays fine too. Feels a little better to me; very well balanced and smooth and the tip is better. Do I actually play better with...

Right but changing the facings seems to help significantly. I’ll report back. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/olhausen-rattle-is-this-a-good-fix.525094/

My research strongly indicates that replacing the facings reduces the problem.

I am about to have the facings on my 8 foot Olhausen replaced with 3/16 neoprene facings. My mechanic suggests 60 durometer hardness. Is that what is recommended by those who know about this fix? Thank you.

Do you recommend 60 durometer 3/16 facings or 70?

And if higher Fargo players always beat lower Fargo players, after people get a robust Fargo rating they wouldn't have to play anymore. Just compare Fargo ratings and the higher rated player is the winner.

I'm going to start getting my cues engraved "Personal" so no one steals them.

What a great and thoughtful answer. Thanks for sharing your views.

Ok let me ask: Chopdoc, approximately how many cues do you own? My wife has the view you need two: one break and one playing cue. She can't understand multiple cue ownership despite my frequent attempts to educate her. Your situation will help mine. Thanks!

With the ball count method, low skill players can compete = more players = more money for APA. I like ball count. If you run eight and jar the 9, you're still good.
