[THE SILENCER]

i never said "i know how to make a cue" i said, there is no difference between flat faced, and pioleted joints, yet there is a difference between phenlonic and stainless steel. maybe there is a difference between all the different pins? i'm the expert in actually playing pool, while your the expert in making cues, i am not argueing that point. i know nothing about making cues. here is what i know about what effects how a cue plays. the length, a short 56 inch cue will play much differently than a 60 inch cue. the weight, a 14 oz. cue will handle differently than a 25 oz. cue. and finally, an 11 mm tip will play differently than a 15 mm, besides that, the inlays, the pins, the wrap,the maker, the price~~~~ not much of a difference, is there a differnce? if you say so, i'll take your word. is it a noticable difference, yes and no, yes, if your obssessed, no, if you want to play pool, and concentrate on the big picture. players like strickland,bustamante,souquet, will not say hmmmmmmm, i think i'll change my pin, because this will help me win the u.s. open this year, however they will say, "shit, i've just got to get rid of this moori, and get back to a triangle, to help me win the u.s. open this year. hope i've made my point clear, i'm not saying different pins won't change the cue, but what i am saying is, it's not noticable, enough to fuss about.

Not trying to start a flare up, just curious - what's wrong with eight ball?

 

[pooltablemech]

lol Nothing wrong with 8 ball................That is what stood out about the dude. I remember reading that he was the 8 ball Master. Selfproclaimed master of the table. Just struck me as funny.

I wonder if Slow Larry is Silencer.......would make sense...lol.

Only thing we got used in a 9 footer is a Gandy Sportsmans. With some work they can be great tables. They just gotta have the pockets shimed for one! And beef up the cheap discs that gandy used on those rails. They work but over time the either strip out and the screws holding them in strip out.

Thanks sir,

Please, keep your eyes and ears open for a table. We got good action with my customer. He's not a bull shitter as some are. An old brunwick will do, real old.

BTW, Silencer, at all most 64, I can still fire-um straight back.

One thing I learned after restoring a 1905 Monterrey Mission to beauty well beyond it's original looks is this. I play on Brunswick Gold Crowns, in my local Pool Room & in Tulsa @ Magoos or The Billiard Palace, playing on my beautiful restored Pool Table was completely different..., so much so that I got rid of it.

A piece of furniture is one thing, a Pool Table is another.

I'm not taking sides..But I honestly believe that SILENCER is just posting his opinion, as we are all entitled to do..Instead of posting the same knowledge over and over again, we need technical and life experience, which I think SILENCER is doing..Sure he may have sometimes got out of hand and offended some people, but I don't think he did it intentionally, like Fast Larry, so don't compare the two..

I for one enjoy SILENCER'S posts...while I may not agree with everything he says, I will understand his point of view, and not abuse him if it differs from mine.

 

[pooltablemech]

The old old tables with the T-Bolt rail system PLAY AWHFULL! Eventually from the balls hittin the rails over the years, and even when they are right. They realized it over the years and changed to what they do now....thru the slate instead of into the edge of it lol! From the balls hitting the rails over time you need to check the rail bolts for loosening up. But they look perty!

 

[THE SILENCER]

beeman, you see the world as things truley are, and do not "twist" the truth, for your anger or pleasure. you take people for what they say, and nothing more. you understand the human race. you realize, there are small things in life, (pin threads) and larger things in life, (tips that miscue often) you are open minded, bright, and kind, and for this, i appreciate you. thank you, for being open.

PLEASE,,,,,,,,
BeeMan, silencer was talking crap about pins and cues, which he knows nothing about.

He claims there's [no noticable differance] in differant pins.PLEASE.....
Even a new comer, [cue maker ] who is just getting started, knows the differance about joints and pins.

Question, has silencer ever built a cue???????????????Who knows, however,
from the way he explains about pins, and there effect on hits, he's got no experance......NONE........


Take up for the guy who is mis-leading the folks who, deserve good solid answers, not just some guy guessing, and writting. He, knows nothing about what he's written.
I will defend the members here from getting bad and wrong information about cues.

I am an expert in this field.

The only thing silencer is expert at, is posting, and patterns him self after [fast larry] over and over again.

Abuse, there was none. He's clueless about cues, and comes off as if he's an expert. But most here can read between the lines.

No one, should post about any subject, that they know nothing about.

Ask questions, and get good solid answers. Write about things that are interesting, and will help others, that's what a forum is all about.

I post good honest information

I don't write to see my name in print as some do.....

[drivermaker]

In the February 2004 edition of Inside Pool, Jim Buss wrote an article on joints and pins. I'm not going to type out the entire article, but here is some of what he said: "The cue joint is one of those items that many players have problems understanding, so let's see if we can shed some light on the topic.
First, the joint has one function. It holds the two halves of your cue together. THAT'S IT. It does nothing else. Some joints are stronger than others, some are smoother than others, some are quieter than others, but they all do nothing more than hold the cue together. (Article now has explanation of various types of joints and pins)
So which joint is better? This question has no answer. If there were one best joint, then all cues would use the same joint. It's just a matter of preference. Actually, the various joints can tend to feel a little differently to more experienced players, and some tend to make slightly different sounds. We'll get into some of this in future articles, but for now, remember that the joint just holds the cue together. If you have questions or comments, please contact me by email at jimbuss@insidepool.com

 

[Joseph Cues]

What Jim fails to mention is 3/8 10 pins' threads on the shaft wear out fast.
If it did not, the radial pins and ACME type pins would have never been invented.
