It's the old story of "pay me now or pay me more latter". If you wait too long to replace the tip, you run the risk of cracking the ferrule. Then you end up with an EXTRA $20 repair to replace the...
The wrap area UNDER the linen is a smaller diameter, so that the linen lays at the same hight as the rest of the Q. If you cut the linen off, you will have an ugly, noticable step at the beginning &...

Honestly, I can't think of an overpowering advantage to a...
I started hanging out at the pool hall in 1956. Sometime that year I bought a 17 oz. Willie Hopee Q. It had a 12mm Ivory ferrule & tip. I only played Snooker in thoose days & I loved that Q. I paid...
I've used every tip made, but I will say that in my shop, I sell 50 LePro or Elkmaster before I sell 12 Morri's. Hell, 80% of the people have no idea what tip is on their Q...JER

You do reallize that if everyone Just went out & played straight up, each players handicap would go up & you could not field 5 players whose handicaps totaled 23. It also sounds like none of you...
I lost my very first match in league and went from a new player 4 to a 3!! And of course, I thought I was at least a 6 before I started to play. My very next match as a 3 I also lost. I told my...

I knew a 7 foot basketball player, who spent every day practicing by himself, in his driveway. Every day for 5-6 hours he would practice with one dribble & then dunk the ball. He did it perfectly...
Illinois passed a smoking ban as of January 1 this year. I pose this question to those who are against the ban. "WOULD YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN TO BE IN THAT SMOKE FILLED ROOM, FOR 8...
As a BUYER, what do you consider a "CUSTOM" pool cue? Is a "ONE OF A KIND", a CUSTOM? Does it have to be ordered by a customer before it's built, to be "CUSTOM"? Does it have to display all of the...

When making a cue for someone, this subject comes up all of the time. How heavy a cue feels & the actual weight may be quite different. My BLACK HEART cues have a balance point at 18-18 1/2 inches...
