Give me a couple minutes, man.Ya gotta be kidding, drunk or stoned, or some combination of the three.
I got a run one errand.

Use a one piece cue. No JP's to slow you down.Accepted and appreciated.
I can’t afford a new cue at this time. The prices of tip shapers everyone is advising me to buy and lessons on using them is costly.
I think I’ll use those Puffin cues off the racks I like the tips and taper
He’s back, I was worried.Use a one piece cue. No JP's to slow you down.
Shape the tips yourself. It's not that hard. Tip shapers, files will work.I have a major dilemma. My tip guy has been doing my tips for many years and is a friend.
He’s top notch, does tips for many of the stars.
He knows what and how I like my tip he doesn’t have to ask.
Here is my issue.
Again, he knows me and I reminded him what I want, he gave me the look.
I gave him 3 shafts that I use for 9 ball. I want a dime radius knocked down to a certain height.
I get the shafts back and they are very high (like cold nipples on steroids) with a lot of meat on them and shaped about 8 cents.
8 cents can you believe it.
Do I ask for a refund? I asked for dime shape and I got 8 cants shape.
I can’t make a ball. Last week I could run up to the orange 5 ball. Every shot I take I look down the barrel and think “cha Ching”, 8 cent shaped tip. I’m in desperate need of help from the esteemed and knowledgeable experts of AZB.
Refund?
New tip guy?
Quit pool?
Is violence in the equation?
Thank you in advance SS
It's not trolling if the intended target person is not identified. Instead, it's just dumb ass attention seeking or being completely clueless...i know this is a troll by op.
but anyone that cant shoot well with a flatter tip and a taller one is a banger and shouldnt be complaining about equipment as he knows nothing about it.
I strongly feel this is an important subject. We covered a lot of info. I learned from this... I put tips on for friends...and if one of them says anything about $.08 they are getting a size 10 foot push.It's not trolling if the intended target person is not identified.

Get the redhead to put in Zirconium teeth for the front teeth. They're not cheap, but they will never wear out for shaping your tips.I use my teeth. Sometimes my wife's if she'll take them out.
Hey...be true to your teeth or they'll be false to you.I use my teeth. Sometimes my wife's if she'll take them out.
She always takes them out to work on my tip and shaft.Get the redhead to put in Zirconium teeth for the front teeth. They're not cheap, but they will never wear out for shaping your tips.![]()
Would suggest fine sandpaper and sanding sealer to work on the shaft, rather than zirconium teeth.She always takes them out to work on my tip and shaft.

I would have been fine with $.09 shaped.I strongly feel this is an important subject. We covered a lot of info. I learned from this... I put tips on for friends...and if one of them says anything about $.08 they are getting a size 10 foot push.
A real man would not use the plastic jaws in the vice. Use the channel locks to hold the shaft and the power sander to shape the tip. Then use the power sander to clean up the splintering and gouging from the channel locks.I would have been fine with $.09 shaped.
I’ve decided to shape them myself and have the tools. The vice is designed to secure fishing lures and seems ok for a shaft and cues in general. Anything else I may need?
That’s my custom Mike Massey shaft.
