I've been working on a website for a little while. I'm not very good at it. But anyway. I have a few cues on there and some tables I'm selling.

I would like to start adding accessories. Tip tools, burnishers, cue holders, tips. trainging aids, Etc..

What i would like to know is what does the Az community Like, use and recommend?

I really don't want to waste my time making countless web pages for items that are trash or noone has a use for because theres something better out there.

I'd also be interested in any items you gus might be selling, I'm sure there are some manufactures or suppliers on here. Send me a pm.

thanks in advance for taking the time to read this post and hopefully add a comment.
 
Love these threads - I'll start out with my irons...it's a mixed set of Pings. 4,5, and 6 irons are PING I3 blades (blue dot with DGS Cushin shafts), and 7,8,9, and PW are PING S59 (same blue dot and shafts). My wedges are.....ooops wait, this is AZ BILLIARDS - DOH! wrong bag. MY BAD! ;)

I have very little in the way of accessories in the case - tip tapper, few different grits of sandpaper, leather for burnishing, microfiber towel, and a 12 count box of Masters chalk.

hmm

maybe I should have said case,

speaking of cases? what kinds do you use and like?
 
Pro Series blue and white nylon case. Looks like a golf bag. Cheap but it looks great and does the trick. Small towel, leather burnisher, 4" curved sander, extra sandpaper strips, moose head bridge, chalk, Porper cue rack, willards shaper, talc, alcohol pads, VNEA rule book, toothpicks (for wing nights), jump Q handle and a pen. I only use cases with big pouches cause I have to pack everything just like a woman.

I have a soft leather case I have always had and will never get rid of. It is perfect for tournaments, the car, the motorcycle, whatever. It's lightweight and easy on the shoulder.

It was made to hold 4 shafts and 4 butts. It cost 120 dollars brand new.
 
I'd LOVE to have Samm Diep interview me on this topic. Alas, I'm a nobody...:frown:

my main case i use is a 4x8 soft case that has currently my pred 5k4, pred p2, joss, excaliber break cue, and pred jump cue. i have gotten compliment after compliment on this case. everyone that sees it loves it and wants to know where i got it and cannt belive its as inexpensive as it is. i love it because it has so many pockets.


in those pockets i have a 5x cue claw, a moose head bridge head, a dark hand towel, acouple cubes of master and acouple cubes of blue diamond chalk, pocket chalker, acouple pens, a q-wiz, a cue cube i never use, a scotch brite green scour pad, and an emory salon board, which i think is the best tool ever for shaping and roughing up your tip.

i also have a vincitore 3x6 i use for storage that has a meucci 333-4, albrect tulipwood merry widow, and a second excaliber in it with some master chalk and an emory salon board. really these things are the best tip tools ever.

i'll pm you links to pics of the stuff i'm talking about since your asking for recomendations of stuff to sell and i wouldnt want to throw up links for other places to purchase and generate compitition for you. ;)

what's in the bag

besides cues,

--a packet of those red white and blue plasticky shaft cleaning things (washable and reusable!)
--ultimate tip tool
--wet wipes for cleaning hands
--mini wash cloth
--excedrin
--band-aids, several sizes
--single use packets of antibiotic ointment and alcohol prep pads
--manicure set (nothing more distracting than a broken/ ragged nail while playing)
-hair clips and bobby pins
--small claw for 2 cues
--a foam bridge head (fits on break cue when a bridge can't be found)
(the last two are really only useful for bar pool or crappy poolrooms).

and the best:
A lovely collection of won signed dollars. Don't want to bet real money with friends but you're pretty darned sure you're either going to win the game, the sidebet, or that you're absolutely right about something? Bet a signed dollar!

Loser has to: sign and date the dollar, write the location and reason it was lost, AND (my favorite) include a compliment about the winner. I love this. Even better, I can wave my signed dollars around like a pretty green fan in the middle of heated debates...
