Looking for a variety of suppliers for cue materials. Anyone have a list there willing to share. I am looking for more of the materials such as DOUBLE-BLACK LINEN® TUBE and such.
 
The double blk linen tube you mentioned is made by and sold only by Atlas Fibre. You can maybe buy it in small quantities elsewhere, but they bought it from Atlas. Prather offers black linen phen. but its not as deep black.

Sad news is the new one doesn't look like the original one.
Atlas is having problems with their billiard division.
We are too small of a fish to be of much concern to Atlas's mother manufacturing company.

Very true Joey...several items offered by Atlas are not even close to what they once were. Have you seen what they call Aegis now?

I think the problem is that a lot of manufacturers are no longer in business. If we keep buying products made in other countries we will soon not be able to make anything here in the good old U.S.A.

We save a few dollars now but Americans are out of work.

Please buy American Made Products.

Actually, Atlas is not a manufacturer but a very large user and distributer of phonelics. G.E., Westinghouse and a few other large corporations iether made or still make most phonelics as it's primary use is in the electronics industry. I bought my phonelics primarily fron NVF. Last year they sold out to another corporation and have raised their minimum amounts to mucm more than I need at one time.

Atlas told me that they made the stuff in house. Said they made it by their parent company Atlas Fibre and just sold it through Atlas Billiards. In talking with them I've been told several times how they are having problems when they make different items...keeping the black specks out of the natural linen, etc. Guess I should not believe everything I'm told...LOL!!!
