Spheres Make Me Happy
Hey Fellow Az'ers,
After some time viewing your threads as a ghost I finally decided to take the plunge and sign up. The site is really comprehensive and has up-to-date tournament results and I especially like the forums. Hence, here I am. I am from Montreal, Quebec and I have a few favourite haunts: Unison, Istori, Jilly's, and now Triplex (Black Crowns with new cloth). I play with a Falcon j/b with a hard Talisman tip, and my playing cue is a Dale Perry plain jane that I got off ebay with radial pin and I recently got a tiger x shaft for it. I liked the way the tiger played compared to the predator. It didn't have that weird internal bore bit in the front (felt more solid). The shaft plays really well and I was getting used to it (had it for about a month now) but on Saturday the tip just popped off. It kinda freaked me out. I called Tiger up and they said I could either send it to them (at my expense) and they could put the tip back on or I could take it to my cue repairman and have him do it because it wasn't covered by warranty. I told the guy that if something as simple as a tip can't stay on right what's holding the rest of the cue together? He gave me the spiel about how their tip glue is sold to other cuemakers and their cue manufacturing process is better than any other competing shaft. So anyway, I'm going down to Palason today to get it fixed and thinking I should have gone with the OB-1. I don't know. I'm just kind of confused and annoyed. I thought that the new adhesives could bond a ferrule to a tip super well and once it was on it was there for life. Maybe Tiger just didn't put enough? I've just never had a tip come off in 16 years of playing let alone on a new shaft. I hope I'm not being anal about this. Has this happened to anybody else? Je ne comprend pas. In any case, when I go to shoot pool I play by myself so if anyone wants to play in la belle ville de Montreal give me a shout. I don't gamble or play for money though. I have no idea what my speed is. I just love to play. I take the big blue limousine and the underground snake to get around though so it would probably have to be on island. Well, I got through my first post. I hope she makes sense. I look forward to your insight.
Going to Palason,
Pistol Pete
