My case with accessories

Is that a willie smith cue? Looks very similar to one that used to belong to someone i know but he sold it on a while ago via ebay. Same joint style as well through the splices.

Would imagine so yes.

I've sold my Joe Davis 147 Maple one piece cue complete with Cue Craft aluminium case.
I now have a 'POT IT' One piece plastic cue tube complete with padlock to protect my riley one piece stock cue. As this cue is priceless...literally!!! I've had 7 tons with it already, so my point was proven. You can play with anything! I'm not a cue snob. Never have been. Plus it's quite comical when you smack someone's ass who is!

Interesting...what dictates which chalk you pick up? Which is better? Are either worth the extra money?

I’d been trying out the different chalks to find one that improves upon triangle chalk, I’ve found kamui works very well with most types of tips and does help the tip grip the cue ball better (using MW supertip).
There are two versions 0.98 which is softer, or 1.21 which works very well with laminated and pressed tips.
Just personal preference , they are in the region of 23 pounds a block but miscues have been eliminated.
Taom on the other hand I haven’t been able to get along with , more miscues and doesn’t grip the cue ball as well.

What hard wax do you use and how do you use it?

I bought a Kamui chalk but am too scared to open it! - so expensive. Still on the regular triangle stuff and don't find it too bad at all to be honest. Perhaps I don't play enough to get so many kicks and miscues

Beeswax works well ,you can buy blocks of honey coloured wax , I forget the name of it , I’ll have. Look and come back to you.
Basically it’s used to burnish the edge of the tip all the way round , it finishes the tip and stops the edges fraying. I present the block on to the side of tip and spin the cue round , then use the back of sandpaper the smooth side to smooth the edges of the tip, then finish by using some fine grade sandpaper to re finish the tip to keep it even all the way round.
I work on a lot of players cues locally in my town.
