    wanted cue maker to make this cue

    https://www.obcues.com/product/ob-17emw-pool-cue/ I wanted a similar cue and bought this one from OB. I think it a good value. It accepts a weight bolt, but the butt weighs 15 oz with the weight bolt removed. Mine is weight forward and balances at 19.5". It was actually a little too far...

    Torrefied Maple - OB Shafts

    I bought one, 3/8x10, 12.3mm, 29". It weighs 3.6 oz, and is extremely stiff. It hits well, with very low deflection, but has a "tink" sound. I went back to my cynergy. Will sell at a discount if you want to try it.

    My experience with GO-2

    I just received my go-2 shaft about 2 weeks ago. It took about 8 weeks, but everything was perfect. I prefer the go2 taper over my Cuetec Cynergy. The 12.5mm go2 taper feels stronger, similar to my 12.5 mm mezz wx700 shafts. The 12.5 Cynergy stays skinny for a long distance, which many...

    How Good Could Country Calvin Play???

    Calvin has retired in Hot Springs, Arkansas. His health has declined, but he still plays ocassionally, sometimes with his brother David who lives near by. David doesn't play much, but seems to be doing well, and hits them at an est. 600+ fargo level the few times per year he does get out. I...

    Cue butt thickness

    My Mike Stacey is thicker than a Joss, Schon, Mezz, and Predator. The cue seems to taper from the joint up to the beginning of the wrap and then straigtens out to the bumper. The entire wrap area is not as thin and tapered as the production cues. I like the consistant diameter throughout the...

    Getting wild 7 on 7' diamond vs 9' diamond

    600 fargo getting wild 7 from a 700 fargo. For the cash, am I, the 600, better off on the 7' or 9' diamond pro cut. I can see advantages to both, better chance of break and run on 7', but more opportunities at the table on a 9'. I know there are a lot of factors. Just looking for general...

    Light bulbs

    I had a 4 dome fixture and tried dozens of flood lights, spot lights, etc. The best I found was an A19 base, 100w equivalent led, daylight bulb. It looked like a normal light bulb. Most 100w equivalents are a little longer A21 base, and bothered my eyes when bending over. Eventually I...

    Pool table upstairs?

    I've had a 1700 lb 9 footer over my garage for 15 years, and have never had to re-level. I added horizontal 2x12 blocks between the vertical 2x12 joists. I used real 3/4" nail down hardwood flooring over 2 layers of 3/4" plywood sub-floor with a lot of nails which probably helped stiffen...

    Cue Case Clamp

    I like sticking my cues down in my case during matches. This is the best way I have found to keep my case from getting knocked over. I have been using it for 3 months and have always found something to secure my case to. Other clamps would only work on flat tables at certain heights. This...
