**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[John Flaf]

When done properly it won't feel tacky. Ensure the shaft is clean and smooth beforehand, the key to it not being tacky is removing the excess oil properly after a few mins rather than let it sit for too long.

Applying and removing the excess quickly, with repeated small applications is far better than a single heavy application that's allowed to linger too long before the excess removed.

There's no issues with oiling the whole cue or just the shaft. If the butt has any sort of sealant on it, oiling it won't matter it simply won't penetrate.

Thanks qc, I've stripped the whole cue down using method mentioned above.

With regards to the oil folks use - for me personally I have always used the same stuff I do my cricket bats with.. raw linseed oil... works lovely.

I tend to use a mixture of tung oil and linseed, with thinners. Linseed, i have found, tends to give the cue a honeyed yellow - which I like, but it's something to be aware of.

I had many over time but never been 100% happy with what i had until now.

In fact i have 3 at the moment, been trying stuff out.

I think i started with a bce cue in the eighties, got one from a general shop in London which turned out to be crap in the nineties.
Around '96 i bought a craftsman from my best friend and i've been playing that one since then, but i only attended the club a few times in a year.


But i felt it was time for a change and most of all i wanted a cue that has the SD quick lock joint and extension.

Recently i got the cue from Jimmy's webshop at www.jimmy.com, which is perfectly fine and a very nice cue but it's a bit too light for me and i can't get used to it.
Not a bad cue though, and the service there is great.

And just 10 days ago i was at JP shop , i know it's silly and expensive to travel all the way to London to pick a cue but it was something i wanted to experience and do...Hey you might call it a mid-life crisis thing, something that was on my bucket list.

Only played it a few times yet but i love this one already.

Sorry for spamming, wanted to edit the post because images are not showing but i can't edit my own posts?
Second post also not showing images but i can't remove it, weird forum behaviour.

That's only because you are new, once you have over 10 posts you will get access to those sort of options

Wait a little while for the server to update. Then log in and out a few times.

as Mark said, a bit of patience for the servers to update - and log back in - once should do it


there you go, test PM sent

(ps phone app does not have PM notifications)

you must be careful with how you rotate your phone as the images can be upside down

these make me feel sick :topsy_turvy:
