r/billiards

Hi, I bought this cue on Marketplace and the guy says it’s a custom from South America. He himself wasnt there, but he bought it from a friend who was. No chance finding the brand, but the logo looks a bit cheap. The craftsmanship seems good on the cue, but I’m not expert. It has a custom extension and custom joint protectors. Anyone have any ideas? (He also said it’s bocote wood)

Howdy. Here are some more pictures and a video of the ivory cue balls.

I will be doing a silent auction for the two sets in the box. A separate auction for each box. Boxes are labeled "Set A" and "Set B".

I will delete if this is not allowed. I am a trusted seller. I run the page r/AntiqueToolBroker if anyone wants to verify I'm just a regular dude. The auction is also open to my Facebook followers.

I will accept bids until Sunday, July 12 at 6pm CST.

Reserve is $499 per box

Where on the body do you attach the cord for this chalk holder sold on Amazon?
It’s a type I’ve never seen before.
AMAZON

Went to play pool in Lima, Peru. Ended up on this table which was a 9-foot with rounded 2.5” pockets, and we were given 2.25” American pool balls to play with.

Maybe the longest 2 games of my entire life. Anyone ever seen these before? Do Peruvians actually play on this? Can anyone make more than 2 balls in a row? This place also had one American pool table (with bigger, straight cut pockets). Most people who came in joined the waitlist for that one table rather than play on one of these.

First break and run with the Cuelees paired with predator centro shaft . Running with Caiden warrior soft tip on this one ..

So back story, I was bought the BK rush break and an bk air for $1000. I thought that was a great price. I only wanted the air, so selling the below to get my money back and essentially get the air rush for free\ traded my old stuff for the air.

I’ve got it listed for $1250 since no one these days offer your list price. Am I way to high or in a decent spot to allow for negotiation? Curious what y’all think.

Comes with the following
* 2x2 case
* Predator Red BK Break cue with sports wrap
* McDermott cue with how medium tip
* 11” extension for McDermott Cue
* Masters Chalk
* Chalk Holder
* Cue Claw
* Tip Tool

Everything is in great shape but does obviously show some wear from play. Break cue has two small chips as seen in pictures, along with some wear on the sports wrap. No rips. No joint protectors. Open to offers

Other option is to sell BK separate and sell other stuff together. Really just trying to recoup my original 1000 and essentially traded my old stuff for the air rush

I say $100 or so because the delivered price was $145. Also, I hesitated even sharing this because I don't think it's readily available here in the U.S. I bought this one from a guy I know on Facebook who moves a lot of billiards equipment. If you do come across one, however, for cheap, you should totally consider it.

Now, I don't know a damn thing about the brand. I believe I was told it's part of the Peri Cues family, but I could be making that up. I bought it simply because I trust the guy who sold it to me and because I like how it looks. After I got it, I also discovered I like how it performs. It's a solid breaker that has one of the better phenolic tips I've experienced. The tip is so good that I may not bother to change it, which is something I normally do with phenolic. It seems to jump well too, though I am a total novice with jumping. Weight is under 19oz.

This cue isn't magic -you need a good technique - but it will deliver quite well for the price. I'll include a photo in the comments.

I need some help identifying and fixing an issue I’ve been having with my table where balls consistently drift away from the rails, sometimes by up to ~1” along the length of the short side of the table, and even more along the long side. This only happens near the rails, and on all sides. The table is otherwise dead level and shooting anywhere else on it the balls track very true.

Felt is Simmonis and maybe 4 years old. I’ve already tried aggressively cleaning the felt.

The table technician I had come to check it out couldn’t fix it. My theory is maybe the cloth is tighter closer to the edges as it wraps around the slate, causing rolling friction to be lower on the rail-side and higher on the opposite side, in turn causing the inside of the ball to slow more quickly than the outside and making it turn inward.

What do people think? Video included for reference.

I've been back into pool for about a year now, joining an APA league last August. Recently I've been playing in local tournaments to help dial it in even more.

Up to this point I've had a few rackless and shut outs but have yet, in league, to drop the 8/9 on the break, or have a break and run (close once, made it to the 8 and missed the bank)

Last night I played in a 4-under singles 9 ball tournament and after being up 3-0, I won the lag on my 4th match and on the first break dropped the 4 and the 9, 3-0. Next rack I dropped the 8'on the break and before I realized it, was sinking the 9 on a bank for a run out.

I had to share with someone, none of my friends are pool players and don't know what it means.

I'm happy with my progress over the year 💪

Im hoping to collect this on Sunday, but will only be able to get 1 other people to help.

Is it possible? Or should I call things off

So I decided to buy a table to fit into my garage + painted the walls black! What do you guys think?
