I honestly like all of the cues I have until my arthritis starts acting up in my hands and runs down into my feet so much so that I miss super easy shots and don't want to sit or even stand up . I'm hoping my insurance will allow me to try what my Dr claims is a better drug so time will tell .
Welcome to our little corner of our genre. Or, I should say our common addiction.
Nice opening post, you have already fit in.
And if you are considering selling Mr. Captain Hook, rest assured I will place it
in a position of comfort with many of its cohorts! Remember, contact me!
Is a BVP the piece the tip sits on, Like a ferule?
Never mind I just looked it up. Just add to the conversation years ago Luther Lassiter had his ferrules colored with red fingernail polish he said it helped him see the cue ball better.
i'm not american so difficult to gauge, but banks seems like a regional game? one pocket seems to be played from coast to coast, probably more than banks or 14.1? more than most games one pocket is a game where certain shots / moves warrants a book. 9-ball is pretty self explanatory
I have always enjoyed the history of pool cues and of course the artistic side of it from the great craftsman. I have been looking at the cue market and prices lately. It seems like its either flat or dropped off a bit. I am guessing its because the newer players dont have the interest in collecting or playing with vintage cues. I also am guessing most of the generation of great cue collectors is aging out sadly. Hopefully some of the younger collectors if they exist will keep it going.
This kind of happens with the classic car market at times with values hitting a peak and dipping off with the generation that had interest. All of a sudden some cars will double in value as that generation wants to obtain those cars they grew up with. I think if you asked many players at a big league event if they ever heard of Szamboti or Paradise they would have no clue who you were talking about. Has anyone else noticed this?
Since you ordered directly from Meucci, I think you had the option of requesting for an exposed linen wrap (no coating on wrap). Anyway, this is a very beautiful cue!
