its a cue stick. where do you stop. do you start registering your watch or expensive shoes or whatever. your lawn mower. that costs as much as some cues.

what prevents the creep from just sanding off the engrave number. if its hidden it wont ever be seen again.

Fedor not playing is ridiculous.

Team USA is going to have Thorsten, Lukas and Styer as the 3 automatic picks for Team USA.

Lost a converted house cue at a little bar/poolroom in Richmond, IN. I was maybe 20 and still new to this life. They had a .25 and .50 Ring game every day and I was killing it. The local guys took a dislike to me and when I went to the bathroom I left my cue on the table. When I came back it was gone. Must have been a dozen guys sitting around and no one saw anything! That cue never came back.

I think that's accurate. "Sponsor obligation." Fedor is sponsored by the APA.

Thank you both for the kind words.

I don’t know Eric personally, but I have a feeling if you contacted him he’d try to modify the cue to play better or replace it. If it is flawed and not just something you don’t enjoy. I know some cues just aren’t for me, nothing to do with the builder, it purely my preference, but I can tell when a cue plays like crap!

I have a Zinzola, I wouldn’t say that it plays like crap

At the pool table, going back doesn't really matter except it is almost impossible to start with a jerk and transform into a smooth transition. A smooth transition and gentle start to the forward stroke got me through the night. Almost all beginners and intermediate players have a poor transition. That poor transition started with a ragged backstroke.

Not in the market but I still gotta say literally most of the cues I come across have little or worse, negative visual appeal. That ventured; I will go away unless I think of something else.

4,616 posts and not one of value. Thanks for your contribution.

There was a guy who built jigs, don’t think I was Zinzola but his cues turned out to be junk.

Are we children? It doesn’t meet your expectations of paying 2-3k plus? I swear this site has lost any intelligence. Honestly my knowledge isn’t worth even posting to morons, who could care less about history, collectors, builders and the rest of what makes us non predator players appreciate our tools! Last post, I’m out.

I lost that name. Zinzola was before my time. Dale and a couple others guys were my timeframe!

Got a few RH cues…looking to move them. Open to Trade for the right Southwest cue as well.

Up to the top

Fedor surely can do as he wishes but I believe decisions like this is why he hasn’t been as competitive lately. Kind of disappointing in my opinion to miss a major tournament for this.

agreed. this shidd he can do in his off weeks, imo. if it's a tour then treat it as a tour.. but i guess the flip argument with a rational choice perspective is that the tour should pay better then
