Yep...+ Jeff Olney !

Stan Shuffet gave me the same drill that he gave Stevie Moore. Stevie used to use it before a big match, and did on TAR when he played Chris Bartram. Line all 15 balls evenly spaced between the two side pockets. Take cue ball in hand in the kitchen. Shoot all the balls straight in the corner...

Just a tip. Measure your 32" cue including the pin and j/p if you use them. I waited a long time for a BIG name case and my 29" cue with a radial pin won't allow the case to close with my custom j/ps in place. The casemaker didn't allow for the long pin and the j/p...Tom

I see a Black for sale @ $1295. I'll take it at $800...Tom

IMHO Red played world class One Hole, but a slight notch below the BEST players of his time. He was arguably the best in the world on a 5 X 10 snooker table. As far as his 9 Ball game went, he would play anyone for large amounts of cash. He didn't always win but he booked more than his share...

That's fine if you have 90 Itrader deals with 100% feedback like you do, but there are a lot of deals gone sour here...Tom

I saw Jimmy play at The Rack in Oak Park, Mi many times and I've always said he was the best 9 Ball player I ever saw for the cash. I didn't see em all but I saw a lot of them...Tom

Currently I only have an Omen break cue, but I think it's interesting that when I was in the Philippines at all the top spots there, the concensus was that they preferred my Omen as a player over my Paul Dayton sneaky player. Now, I think I know why and I don't agree, but that is because I like...

That's very interesting. Most of us have seen those players once or twice, in the Worlds or on ESPN. Not enough to remember their names or know which is which. I wonder how they stack up against the top Filipinos ? Personally, I rate Dennis Orcollo as the best short rack rotation player in the...

In the Philippines there are some truly fantastic custom cuemakers who will make you a cue for the same price or less than a Mezz, yet all you hear over there is Mezz Mezz and more Mezz! There's gotta be a reason. When I ordered a custom cue from Tony Bautista he asked if I wanted a wavy joint...

Ya know, we HAVE been through this before BUT it is important so... I always roll a cue on a table at first inspection just to see if it's close. Then I crouch down and look at the taper area for little variances. Next I roll the cue on the rail and the table. Next I roll the separate parts on...

Mike Pancerny is as good as they get. He's in Chesterfield Twp off I-94 and 21 mi a couple miles. Super experienced and he's a perfectionist. He is out of town a lot so you need to make an appointment. You'll love his cues and his shop too ! 586 246-0611

I've tried almost everything except a Gina or a Szam. I've loved several. Just as a worthy mention, I liked my Tony Bautista with a Mezz Hybrid Alpha shaft almost as much as my regular player, which is a Paul Dayton sneaky with a regular but well aged shaft. Best I've found. Went from a...

For me, even though I primarily compete on a Bar Box, it's very hard to get motivated on one unless I'm playing someone and it counts. On the other hand, I am one of those people who can paractice alone happily for several hours on a 4 1/2 X 9. On the full sized table I don't have to make all...

Maybe they did in the second set, but in the first one Efren got the nine

I had horrible service and young girl attitude in a room that I visited occasionally, and went to regularly back in the day. The bartender/manager , a very ugly young woman who worked days, and by the way, I did tip at first, told me one day that they didn't pay her enough to wait on tables ...

Congrats Jay ! When you get in gear on that the Pinoys better watch out :). The tables at Hermes look good I heard ! I plan to move close to there by the Fall...Tom

They use those guys (officials?) all the time in action matches. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. They rack, hand you the bridge, clean the balls and mark it's position. The players tip them after. Everyone gets cash consideration in the Phils. It would shark me but they are used to it!

Sorry for the bad link

Just 2 weeks or so ago, someone posted a money match where Efren was given the 9 in Ten Ball by a player previously unknown to me, Michael Feliciano. I learned from my Filipino friends that he used to play for Puyat or Bugsy, forgot which at the moment, but the kid can play! The match went down...
