Yeah, the cracking is what's gonna put this idea in the dust most likely. I did look into implex which is impact resistant acrylic, but you're not gonna get all the fancy colors and swirls, and it's expensive.

This is really just me experimenting with what's available for cheap as I cut my teeth as a hobbyist machinist and cue mechanic.

Looks real good appearance and workmanship. I have a piece of acrylic like that I got from Cuemsn. Will use on butt cap.

Made some acrylic ferrules

Bavafongoul
There’s a market, albeit a small one, for a variety of ferrule colors if you can come up with something.

I think you’d be better off sticking to only a few colors and see if you can come up with a durable, stain
resistant ferrule that has the best compression properties, durability and appearance. Ivory ferrules are
the best, IMO, but are becoming very expensive and harder to obtain. A substitute is needed and what
are the options? Then see if you can come up with something better or at least different but never inferior.

Presuming you were successful, don’t embark on a making a large variety of colors but rather a select few.
You could become a huge success since cue makers aren’t looking to be innovators & just use the best stuff.

Implex is a brand? Maybe if you look outside the box there are others. I haven't looked in 10 years. Must be newer producers/materials.

As the "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC was played, Neil Robertson joins the hosts at the winner's circle to lift the Battle of the Baize trophy. He is now ranked No. 3 in the world with this title. It was a thrilling decider and could have gone either way. I enjoyed this Battle of the Baize a lot.

Neil wins $677,760 (£500,000), and don't feel so sorry for Ronnie as the bride's maid. He pockets $515,090 (£380,000) because of the two maximums he made, giving him an additional $243,990 (£180,000), though I know he's much rather have the title.

That's Neil's coach, John Perry, with him in the winner's circle.

not bad cash for runner-up.. probably a record that too.

joe perry was a quality player and longtime practice partner / roommate of neil. didn't know he became a coach. makes sense because he's pretty smart and analytical

The only player in that vicinity of the state that I know of was Don Gladish from Winslow, outside of Evansville him and Larry Scott from Princeton would've been the 2 best players in SW Indiana 25 years ago. Don beat Chuck Raulston in the Arthritis tourney way back and Chuck snapped his cue in half because he thought he got lucky which is funny!! It's bizarre that there aren't any more known players from Dubois County or West of there across the state! Nick knows Don and Larry well they are all around the same age if they are still around!

Never heard of those guys.

There is a guy over in Orange County, just east of French Lick, that is a really good player. His name is Rich Minton. I believe he plays down in Louisville alot. Assume he is still going full speed ahead.

And I think there is a league down in Jasper (Dubois County). I went down there to watch several years ago, thought I might be able to get on a team. After watching one table for about 20 minutes I realized........well, what rhymes with Coke.......

Looks cool. Cracks easy from what I know. Gotta be more modern versions than I am familiar with...I guess.

Haven't been before. Do any bring cues that they have marked for sale? Do the cuemakers do business and take orders? Or is it mainly just to showcase the cues and pick a "best in show", etc?

Thanks.
