Another crap product is Porpers Mushroom removal tool (Other model to what you have in the vid) is that you must hold it hard at an angle and use a sawing motion per the directions,,, stupidly I thought they researched their own product and wouldn’t sell junk and followed the directions to a T, before noticing the HUGE dent rings it put in my shaft, just past the ferrel on my Z2 shaft 🙁 I had a pro at a tournament I just played in lathe it for me .50 mm and it is an ok fix, but beware 🙂

I know how and have played snooker. I am not that great at snooker, but I have played it and have a d board for my own table and play from time to time, it is easier to play with standard pockets and not the rounded edge pockets. I have played 3 cushion, I like the game, just not enough people play to stay involved.

I personally prefer moori tips. Try a few out at the pool hall on test cues and see which one you like, then buy.
tab1990 on July 21, 2010 at 9:48 am
What tips do you use?
liebspeck on July 21, 2010 at 10:43 am
I agree.

Most of the people viewing these videos will be beginners….therefore should not use the products. I do use the shaver on occasion. You are right, use them properly. Practice on old crappy cues and the junk that comes with a table. As you become more experienced, then try it on your own cue. The Porper Shaper/Shaver tool should be discontinued. It destroys tips and ferrules…along with the Tweeten Sander, they do more harm than good. Use the Willard machine for the best results.

Do NOT use a razor to shave, it WILL cut your face!

Only if used improperly!
I use some of the products you strongly disadvise and never had any problems with them.

oops i mean fiber glass shaft
poolplayinghack on July 21, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Please, never leave your cue in an enviroment that is not temperature or humidity controlled. There are seveal companies that make cue conditioning products for the fiberglass and carbon fiber cues. CueTec seems to have the market cornered on them.
NeXt559 on July 21, 2010 at 12:38 pm
great advice
but i noticed that most of the shaft conditioning products you talk about are for wood shafts.
i’m more of a fan of carbon fiber shafts, mainly because im scared to death of a cue warping on me. i live in the central valley in cali. and it can get pretty hot here and, at time i forget my cue in the car

Good advice.

Just joined a league for fun with moderate experience… This video of yours alone saved me $ and headaches. Thanks for helping out the Neewbies.
