    taper and size

    It is well known that making the tip end of the shaft lighter is the main thing that causes lower deflection. How much does the size and taper really effect the deflection. The smaller tip and conical taper seems to be all the rage now, but it feels terrible to me. The longer pro taper has...

    Say it ain't so Joe

    What is the world coming to. Electric cars, Vegetable Whoppers, and Dean positing pictures in the for sale section. I've heard the rumors but just didn't want to believe it. I haven't looked in that section for quite some time so. I'm not sure how long this dastardly deed has been going on. I...

    It's Dean's Birthday and I can't wait to call him . I have been practicing singing the song and I don't mind saying I still have a pretty good singing voice.

    Dean in the hospital

    Dean called me yesterday afternoon and said. I had a stroke. I said, not that I can ever remember. No, I'm in the hospital he says. Seems he was at a restaurant, and his left arm became numb. He calls his wife, and she hurry's home. He reasons that since his right arm is still working he is not...

    The times they are a changing

    Really,they have already changed. I was thinking about how pool was years ago, and how people that didn't even play, knew of a few pool players, Miz, Mosconi Fats, etc. Most people also knew the top players in a lot of sports, Golf, everyone knew of Jack, Lee, Arnold, Gary Player, Ray Tom...

    Pin question

    It seems like I remember reading somewhere that the radial pin on a Schmelke is different that other radials. Does anyone know if a REVO shaft will work on a Schmelke. thanks jack

    uni-lock joint

    I was thinking about a predator road liner with a Revo shaft, the 12.9 What do you guys think about that uni-lock joint. I don't understand why it is like that. Is it just as sound and solid as other joints. I had one a while back and kept seeing if it was tight, with so few threads. I have...

    Trip to Deano's

    I had so much of Deano's stuff that I decided t o drive the 2 1/2 hrs to Dallas instead of mailing it back. I suppose he doesn't realize that just because I'm kind enough to borrow it, (sometimes for so long he doesn't even remember what I have) that lets him off the hook on paying the return...

    REVO vs REVO

    I played with the REVO 12.9 of Deans on a Drexler cue for a few hours, and I really liked it. I was wondering why now it seems more people want a small tip and conical taper. It used to be the pro taper was what everyone wanted. What changed that. The conical taper does not feel good at all to...

    Received REVO 12.9

    I took it up for a test drive.It has a radial pin and it is on the Drexler Wiley Coyote cue of Deans. I liked the way it played, very accurate. It does not spin the ball as much as the OB original that I have on the the Schon cue I am using. Long shots with English,are much easier,it seems to...

I was only 15yrs old and looked. about 12,sneaking in the Cotton Bowling Palace. Those guys were my hero's (I didn't need a speech then and don't need...
