I have been doing this like IUSEDTOBERICH in his video (thank you for taking the time to do it) and it has been very helpful so far even allowing me to make long straight stop shots which usually drive me nuts. It seems to have given me a way to line up into a shot and get my head, arm, feet in synch. Don't see many people doing it and was wondering why. The range of perspectives truly interesting and I thank you all!

The 5/8"+/- tenon is all that keeps the handle connected to the F/A (and the rest of the cue).
With the shaft attached, you've got a 42"+ lever out in front of it.
That tenon can be strengthened with a screw running THRU it but that's not always

now as far as weight, the cue pictured is normal size at joint, has a constant taper and has a 12 3/4 mm tip. the shaft weights 4.01 oz. i have many maple shafts the same size that arer over 4.25 oz.
most players don't like the look, other than that they play just fine if you like a very solid shaft.

Thanks Tommy!

your opinions appreciated
This is an edit
To be clear I am talking about how you stand when you address the shot line before you step into the shot
My question has nothing

=jrctherake;6564721]I was curious so, I had my cue guy put a ferrule on my revo long before most other cf shafts with ferrules came out.
I had my cue guy glue a very, very thin fiber pad directly to the red pad.
Then I had him glue a piece of tomahawk to the fiber pad...
Then my tip..
I started out with a full .5" ferrule. It was to much and totally changed the deflection properties of the revo.
So, I then had him tip...

First, we all agree this isn't the easiest shot on the table. So first thing, put the cue ball where the object ball is. Fire it into the long rail on the way down until you find out how much of the long rail you can hit and the ball still fall at moderate to firm speed on your table. Mark that spot just for reference. OK, still using your cue ball on the object ball

The top cue-makers have limited annual production which results in backlog
of work resulting in a long waiting list of several, if not many, years. Those cues

Just picked up a Brunswick Centennial 5x10 Snooker Model C-1. I am unsure of the exact year but somewhere between 1947-1949. It is in decent shape overall. I will be setting it up next week and will take pics then. No plans to do a restoration at this time. Rail rubber seems to be good and the slates are in good shape. I will be re-using the Simonis 860 that was previously installed on it for now. Just to have something to play on. It will be going into my 1400sq/ft shop that also doubles as...

Exactly one year ago today we broke ground on a home game room for a pool table I’ve been wanting for three decades.
As an anniversary gift to myself, thought I’d start a blog showing the development.
Here’s the spot. We have a detached garage and the new space is built right behind it. Say goodbye to the shed, it’s getting moved further back in the yard.
We did all the proper planning we could to ensure the room would fit a 9’ foot table. The city...
