Around 1977, I played a little trick on one of my regular practice partners, who was the house man at Star Billiards in Santa Rosa. He was also, so far as I know, the person who coined the term "squirt" (AKA cue ball deflection). I had recently discovered the joys of waxing and I slipped a prepared cue ball onto the table.

With the cue ball behind the line I asked him to shoot a stop shot on a ball near the far corner pocket. The cue ball drew straight back two diamonds. I said, "No, just stop the ball." Again, he drew the cue ball back two diamonds. He knew exactly how he had to hit the ball for a stop shot on that broken in but clean cloth and a normal cue ball. I then explained to him what was going on.

I didn't know you had such a wicked side in you, Bob!

Looking for wrap suggestions for my latest cue creation. I was thinking off-white or beige leather to match the tiger maple points and panels but I've been unable to find the correct shade of leather for sale.

I'm partial to leather wraps but it's hard to tell what the ultimate owner of this cue will want. I'd like to get a general consensus here and that's probably what I'll go with.

Tiger Stacked Leather Wrap ~

Repasky Customs…….

I looked the photos Martin has on his website, Superior Cues. Here’s the top selections, in my opinion.
However, take a gander at the long list of different leathers without any photos. Just pick one from the
photos, call Martin, tell him which ones you like, ask him if he has any others similar to what caught your
eye and order the wrap. You won’t go wrong with Martin as anyone of esteem on this Forum would attest.

Wine……..Marbled Rust Spanish Bull……Italian Pebble Cognac…….Wild Stallion Cocobolo………Spanish
Bull Burgundy…….Spanish Bull Rust………Buffalo Cocobolo……….Buffalo Cognac…….Cognac Lizard…..
Hazelnut………. I think you can’t go wrong looking at these before pulling the trigger on something different.
