Pool Accessories

Here are some accessories I use for the game I love that I would recommend, both for playing and also for maintaining the tip and shaft of my cue after each session..



Cue Doctor Shaft Cleaner and Conditioner

There are many cue cleaners in the market, but Cue Doctor is my personal favorite.. The Cue Doctor Shaft Cleaner is an exclusive laboratory-tested formula which not only cleans but conditions the wood in one easy application. It does not contain alcohol, acetone or other harsh chemicals in some other cue cleaners that can dry out the wood and damage a cue shaft. Cue Doctor lifts out dirt and chalk residue while nourishing and conditioning the wood leaving it with a soft sheen and a silky smooth finish.. It leaves your cue feeling great on that follow through..




Tip Pik Tip Tool

This is a handy piece of tool you must have in your cue case..

It is a simple way to add chalk retention to your cue tip chalk up. The sharp needle-like points create perforations in your tip to really help you utilize the chalk you apply to the tip. As everyone knows, the better your cue holds its chalk, the fewer miscues.. With this Tip Pik tool you can also improve your ball control with maximum chalk retention.




Ultimate Tip Tool

The name already says it all, it's the ultimate tip tool, and a prized accessory in any pool player's case.. It has five tools in one! (Acutally 4 lah, 2 shapers on each side for break and play tips..)
i. Sharp metal teeth tap chalk into the cue tip, and can also be used to scuff a badly glazed tip.
ii. The shaper shapes and scuffs the tip to a dime or a nickel radius.
iii.The trimmer trims the cue tip to within 0.010" of flush with the ferrule.
iv.The burnisher hardens and polishes the cue tip sides exactly flush with the ferrule.

The Ultimate Tip Tool improves your game by giving you a consistently solid hit. They call it "The Best Cue Tip Tool in the Known Universe"..




Mezz Billiard Towel

Bought this (100% cotton.. Lol) towel so that I can clean my shaft better with Cue Doctor (well, I believe it can.. Hahaha..) It measures a generous 16.5cm by 33.5cm.. One thing I didn't like about this Towel is that the 2 top sides of the towel is fixed together by a Gold Ring which comes with the chain hook and cannot be seperated.. The Gold chain hook can be easily attached to the cue case, though I wouldn't recommend doing that cause it looks weird..




Kamui 2nd Generation Tip

The current tip on my playing cue now is Kamui 2nd Generation Medium Soft.. The tip is made up of laminated layered pig skin leather and are produced in Japan..

Kamui is slowly catching up Moori in terms of users.. It is said to not mushroom easily like the 3rd Generation Mooris.. Medium soft feels very much like Moori Medium, maybe a bit softer, but IMHO, it retains chalk very well, generates ample spin with lesser force on the cue ball and retains its shape well.. If I'm not wrong too, this tip decreases deflection to the cue ball too..

Here's a link to one of Kamui's website if you wana find out more about the tip.. http://www.kamuitips.com/performance.htm

Vinyl Pocket Chalker

Here's a pocket chalker I carry on me all the time while playing.. It's a handy piece of tool as I use a gray colored chalk rather than the normal blue colored ones provided by pool halls.. It really irks me when someone uses my chalk when they have already coated their tips with a layer of blue chalk, and I don't want to use a blue chalk mistakenly.. Having a pocket chalker also increased the amount of time I chalk my tip as it is easily within my reach, I certainly deem this piece of small but handy accessory a necessity for my game..

Well, there are plenty of variations of pocket chalkers like retractable chalkers and magnetic chalkers, but I really prefer this as I can stick it easily onto my back pocket.. It comes in 2 variations, Vinyl and Leather..




Master Chalks

Master Chalk should be widely considered to be one of the best chalks on the market. Made by Tweeten Fibre of Chicago,it has an outstanding texture that coats pool cue tips smoothly and evenly. This helps in preventing costly miscues when breaking or making a shot. Master chalk comes in many different colors from the common Traditional Blue to Black, Brown, Gold, Green, Gray, Red and Rust.




Felice Glove

This Felice glove is another important accessory in my game.. It gives me a smoother stroke as I have a bit of sweaty palms which creates alot of friction especially when using the closed bridge.. It is a flexible glove that fits everyone and feels comfortable over your hand.. It is suitable even for people without sweaty palms like me, as it helps your shaft to slide easier through your bridge hand, reducing friction, making your stroke more consistent and accurate..




Tiger LEDR Leather Burnisher

The purpose of a burnisher is to smooth and seal the pores on the shaft.. The more you burnish, the better the finish.. It makes the shaft much more slicker and moisture resistant, thus minimising moisture from getting on the shaft and cause raising of the grains.. In the long run, it helps to minimise risks or warpage on the shaft.. It is a handy piece of tool I would use each time after I finish cleaning my shafts with Cue Doctor..
