Hi, heres a pic of one
I don't really see the advantages on air lock joints, but maybe someone on this forum will tell if there is. -
airlock joints are really cool ... what they are is the male bit is actually buried within the female and the female part has the male bit ...Originally Posted by snookerloopy_08 View Post
it's all about confidence and if you really like your connection system you'll play better ...
O'min, Welsh Pool Trading and Mike Wooldridge use them (although MW may have changed?)
oh and they go "phut" as you take them apart ...Comment

Wow i was looking forward to my welshpool cue before... But now i really want it! I wanna hear the "phut"
I personally dont think the joint makes much difference though, stamford has a half wood joint thats supposed to retain more feel or something, but a brass joint is a brass joint isn't it?sigpic A Truly Beakerific Long Pot Sir!Comment

loopy ... you're not listening enough ... they don't go "phut" as you connect them ... the go "phut" as you take them apart ...Originally Posted by snookerloopy_08 View PostReally? my o'min cue doesn't
it's not a huge noise but there's nothing more satisfying (imo) after winning a game to shove the 3/4 airlock joint close to your ear and listen to the little "phut" as you take it apart ...
of course, I normally lose so have to watch the other player simply undoing his or her conventional thread ... but I bet they don't enjoy winning as much as me with my airlock

I stand corrected...Rob you dreams have been restored. It is still very faint though.Comment

good choice RG ... I bought a Welsh Dragon from Bitter on this forum at www.WelshPoolTrading.co.uk at the beginning of last October and I love her ...Originally Posted by RGCirencester View PostWow i was looking forward to my welshpool cue before... But now i really want it! I wanna hear the "phut"

was normally playing UK 8-ball with my old cue (Cannon Scorpion) and snooker with "Merlin" but the last couple of times, took Merlin down the pub ...
haven't lost a pool game since ... OK, I can't get as much spin on the ball with 10.1mm Merlin as I can with 9.4mm Scorpion but I can easily make up for that with consistency of line and pretty much perfect weight of shot ...Comment

yep it is ... faint that is ... but nevertheless very satisfying when you've just beaten someone with a £500 John Parris cue ... JP cues don't go "phut" ...Originally Posted by snookerloopy_08 View PostComment
