Your Protectors at work! The government ruled that tobacco could not sponsor sporting events. Therefore, Camel could not be involved in any pool events. The Tournament director for the tour was out of a job leading to the formation of THE BILLIARD CLUB on the internet. Big Al

I have a customer in despite need of an Everest tip. If one is available in the St. Louis area, I would like to come by and pickup one. Please PM or call 314-six three one-7667 Thursday or Friday. Big Al

Would a Certificate of Authentication help? There has been so much talk about Moori tips lately I felt compelled to call one of my suppliers concerning fakes. CUE & CASE SALES sells packaging that looks like the middle photo in the OP's posting. There are 8 dimples in straight rows that bind...

Busch League origins The Busch League was setup by the AB brewery to promote the newly reworked Busch beer. Of course, the idea was to encourage pool players go to a bar to play pool (and drink beer). In addition to Hubbard and Bell, Louis Roberts (St. Louie Louie) joined the others as goodwill...

It works out. The player from the winners side has won over all comers. The second chance player must now beat the winner side. But, that player must win an addition game because of the earlier loss. That is the reason for the 2 to 1 match. The winner side is not getting a free ride - the...

..but is it a pool stick? This is a terrific posting Mr. Bond. Thank you for the ambrotype runscott . How would you like to matchup a game with that austere gentleman? There are two things I find a little puzzling. The shaft (if indeed it is a pool stick) does not appear to be tapered and...

Trampy, hundreds of AZ readers know you through your postings. I consider you a superstar in our little world. Anybody that can play one pocket can beat this mess. Give 'em Hell Steamer. Big Al

The lights from Sam's are great but there are shadows cast by the shade. I had not seen the HD upgraded fixture - looks like it would serve my needs. I'm going to try it. Thanks for the tip. Big Al

Hondo lives. (?) (!) Can it be English is Mr, Haney?

Bolton lathe country of origin JoeyInCali is right. A search revealed India is where they are manufactured. I could find no one that that spoke highly of them

Bolton lathe parts Bolton is an English company. I'm sure this equipment is made in China - my concern would be parts down the line. Whoever is the US distributor my not always be around. I am not a cue maker so take this with a grain of salt. Big Al

Not a series The "VIII" does not indicate a series. That marking is code for when the cue was made - it is part of their warranty information. I checked some old catalogs but was not able to come up with a model number. Wish I could be more help. Big Al

Will try it. Thank you Mr. King. This is the index I'll use on my next recover. Big Al :happydance::bow-down:

Has anybody figured out the amount of stretch for the tour edition cloth? 860hr is 3 inches, I think. Should the 3030 be 4 inches? Big Al

The bumperroos peddling stuff in the various forums have become too much. Why aren't they contained in the special forums created just for sellers? Many are not even Gold Members - just takers. If I were a paying advertiser I would really reconsider this situation. I have not renewed my Gold...

I'll not be going this year. There does not seem be much interest in the "just a pool room" attendee. IMO, BCA has gone off course in who might be interested in their show. If are not selling swimming pools they really don't want you around. When they first messed with show dates and sent all...

I am not a cuemaker but I've repaired cues for almost 30 years. How you are trimming the Elk Master may be causing your problems. It has been my experience that cutting straight down (even with a sharp knife) while holding the shaft in a vertical position will cause the seperations of the...

A short walk down memory lane. I was a might young fellow in the fifties. There was an old time room called Grand & Olive Billiards in midtown St. Louis. It was opened in 1914 with a mixture of pool, snooker and straight rail table: 24 in all I think. Although they didn't have a bar or...
