    Advice needed

    I just made an offer and was accepted for an item in the For Sale forum here on AZBilliards. I am a little worried as the seller wants a money order because his paypall account was 'Hacked into'. He has 8 itrader refrences all positive but all for trades or buys. He has asked that I overnight...

    Paul Sumrall - S&S

    I just bought a cue from Paul and I am extremely happy with it. I think it even made a difference to my game. It is a wrapless full splice - Ebony into some nicely figured BEM with ivory ferrules and joint and ivory and nickel silver ring work. Shafts are 4.3 and 4.5 ozs with 12.7 or so tips...

    Old Butts

    Any cue makers out there have any discarded butts or other sources of exotic woods they could use to make me a really nice walking stick at a reasonable price?

    Bryan Fisher - an honorable fellow

    :p ;) Several months ago Bryan Fisher offered a 25% discount to this forum on his existing stock. I jumped on this offer as I had had my eye on one of his wrapless cues for sometime, I asked that he make me a 2nd 30" shaft and I sent him payment. Well there were several delays in making the...

    joint ring?

    I just bought a used Meucci red dot shaft for an old Heubler from a seller here. When I got it I was surprised to see it had no joint ring (not sure what the name of this is but it was just shaft wood at the joint - like a blank). Due to this the shaft is shorther than the standard 29"...

    WTB 5/16-18 shaft

    I am looking for a 5/16 X 18 shaft for an old Heubler (flat faced). I would like to find a quality shaft in a mid price range dead straight with no dents or nicks. I don't mind laminated shats (e.g. meucci etc.) but can't afford high end (ob-1 , 314-2 etc.). Prefer 12.5 -12.75 diameter but...

    Pin Size

    What is the reason some cue makers prefer 3/8-11 over 3/8-10? - just curious. I have a 3/8-11 pin which seems to make finding shafts for my cue a bit harder. I am guessing Kersenbrock started this trend but am not sure. Does that extra thread/inch really make a difference?

    Trying different shafts

    I have played pool for most of my 51 years and have been playing league pool for a couple of years now. I have a strong interest and love for pool cues in paticular as I have always loved woodwork. I have bought a couple of used cues recently as well as a beautiful new sneaky from Chad Carter...
