congress was late action as you said and also early in the day as many of the pros/hustlers came and hung out until the tracks opened or the bar action started.
all the greats, except some of the west coast showed up to get out of the north winter and that was when all the tourists came down as well.
there was great rummy action at a few of the hotels on the beach.
then i was mostly a pool player and the action around was sweet for sure.

Early in the day and during the day and at night we're never ending golf games. Many of players that were there all the time were great players that nobody's ever heard of. Guys like Al Mooney, Louis Esposito, of course Big Bob, Mike Carella, Diliberto, Jerry Hunt, Poncho, Steve the Whale, three fingered Ronnie.

No stranger could come in that place and get away with the money. Add to that a bunch of old retired guys who liked the action. Players could always get money the play with.

What forums address.

Go to: Pappy's for some amazing barbecue; Lorenzo's on The Hill for some good Northern Italian; hit Sasha's (two locations) for a pleasant foodie/wine experience; Mai Lee for some Vietnamese; or Brasserie down the street from me for French.

Other than that you're on your own.

If cuemakers with with a proven track record are the best source, then why did you completely disregard them about your 4oz KW shaft?

[Can of worms has been opened]

The hardness list that I posted was generated by cuemakers and a person with a hardness tester.

You presume to know why I did what I did that so many others on this forum stated couldn’t be done.
I reached out to a lot of cue makers that said they couldn’t build what I wanted. All it took was finding
like minded cue makers that were capable of building what others said couldn’t be done. So it took me
longer to get a KW shaft instead of just buying one that would have been too light for my cue butts.

I’m really very happy with my Kielwood shafts and others I referred have done the same as I did. No one
has expressed displeasure over getting a heavier version un-cored heavier KW shaft built, certainly not me.

I never disregarded the opinion of cue makers I hold in high regard. Every one of them, along with the better
names in cue making, build their cues as I’ve been preaching about for almost two decades. They happen to
have a long wait list and this is just a shaft when they’re busy with building custom cues. My Kielwood shafts
are the same weight & diameter as my cue’s orig. maple shafts so I followed the opinion of my cue makers.

As far as KW shafts, I also followed the opinions of cue makers. I found several that not only talk the walk but
walk the talk. They can make Kielwood shafts heavier than what other cue makers and many forum members
said wasn’t buildable. So I although I did not follow the advice of the cue makers I used to build my Kielwood
shaft, they agreed with why I wanted a heavier KW shaft built in contrast with others that tried mocking me.

All I know is what I know….there are 4 gorgeous Kielwood shafts in my case that play better than my original
maple shafts including my Tim Scruggs and Prewitt cues. To me, that says a mouthful because those are two
really top names in cue making. If I listened the opinion of others, I’d have saved some money playing with the
original maple shafts. Buying shafts is not like the cost of buying cues so the KW shaft cost seems insignificant.
