    Your favorite TAR match...

    The first TAR match I bought was when Shane played Scott at Big Dogs in Des Moine. I was hooked. At that time, I was just starting to open my eyes to more and better play than what my local APA had to offer. I learned a lot from all those matches. By far, my favorite match was when SVB Horse F'd...

    Tunica 10 Ball...

    This DCC served up southern style, now I know that Accu-stats.com is streaming the 9 ball banks, 1 hole, and 9 ball tournies, but InsidePool.com has a free stream going of 10 ball. Is the 10 ball an ongoing tournament this week, or are these action matches being streamed? -Dave

    Anyone have a stick they really wanted to like but couldn't?

    See the Soutwest in my avatar? That was my brand new, ebony/tulipwood 9 pointer. The nicest looking, best wood combination in my opinion, at least at this stage in my life. I sold my ebony/purpleheat 6 pointer for it, and regretted it. My original southy played much more to my liking, and I even...

    wrap vs. wrapless

    Hello everyone. I just purchased my first wrapless Sugartree cue ( the 2008 TAR cue) and I must say that although I have played with a SW with a wrap for many years, I feel that, apart from this being the absolute best hitting cue I have had to date, that I get more feel and a better...

    What is considered "heavy" shafts?

    Hello everyone. I just picked up a plain jane Sugartree cue by Eric Crisp. It has a wormy maple handle, with an East Indian rosewood forearm and buttsleeve. The cue hits amazing, and I have never seen or played with shafts that are like this. The grain is super tight, and the shafts feel very...

    Streaming from 2011 SBE?

    Good evening everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the pro players 10 ball tournament was going to be streamed live during the super billiards expo. I believe InsidePool did it last year. I have not seen anything yet about this, and really hope I can get to watch some great 10 ball...

    The Sugartree TAR cue

    Just picked this cue up from my good friend Tommy. I just wanted to say that I have never hit with a cue that plays this well. The workmanship and the playability is simply fantastic. Im kicking myself for not getting one sooner. Eric, keep up the good work!! -Dave

    Southwest cue $3,800

    My first southwest was a purpleheart nose, with ebony points; all the ringwork. Hit like a monster. My newest SW, the 9 point tulipwood/ebony in my avatar hits even a little bit better. Nam, you can't go wrong with either wood. Just speaking from experience. Good luck with your search. The wait...

    Dings in the shaft drive me nuts...removal method

    Hello everyone, and happy new year. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but whenever I get a ding in the shaft of my cue, it drives me up a wall. Sometimes to the point where I have to switch out shafts or cues. Anyways, after years of trying to get past this, and failing every time, I have...

    WTB TAR Patches

    Good evening everyone. I have checked out Theactionreport.com, went to the store, and I see that Justin's TAR patches are out-of-stock. I was just wondering if anyone out there might have a couple that they would like to get rid of, cause I wanna slap some on my new case. Thanks! -Dave

    Brand New 9 Point Southwest!

    really? Damn, thats pretty good to get the weight that low using ebony. Mine is a tad over 20, but very well balanced. Feels around 19.5. The dog is never giving the cue up! Look at her eyes. The ebo/tulip combo has been my all time fav. I was like a kid in a candy store when i got it. Couldn't...
