Didn't see this thread until now...I thought Searing was fixing a lot of these past issues. Still got my cue as well, but it was only a sneaky Pete conversion....that needed the pin to be glued back. Had my hope up when I was at SBE, and John Showman called him up for me, and he told me he would ship my cue back. Sent him my address, he confirmed on the text, and then nothing again for a few years now. Figure that maybe one day, he will address all these issues and get back on track to what he does best, making the best cue in the world.

Just doesn't make sense that he couldn't do it....the man has the brand and quality. If he had any business sense, he would fix these issues with everyone and go back to making more money than he'll need. Don't really know how much trouble he got himself into, but if you think about it....let's say he set back 200K with all the issues with everyone. He can continue to make more cues to clear the debts.....I mean he can create a series....like SW....instead of pacifier...call it....payback cues. lol.

top it off the bottom rail to mid table. i see no problems after that

Stumbling around tonight, I found two related threads on the Greenleaf Cue. The photos in the one below are really good.

I love mine and it was worth the wait, mine is more of a plain Jane but extended length, I leave my 3" extension on the butt all the time, now I don't need joint protectors or to take the extension on and off all the time, just works for me, can't beat the protection of these cases.

I have no doubt it will be worth the wait . I’ve seen his work for years. I just wasn’t sure how long the wait would be . Custom isn’t always done in a timely manner which I completely understand.

Wife is happy with the rug so moving one out and moving one in.

I have a great idea. What if we take those Silica Gel packs and throw them in our pool cue cases? that would keep things nice and dry... right?

Must've got tripped up. Desiccant might work in a stable climate.

Microfiber toward joint is probably not as good as microfiber away from the joint. Spritz 90% before swipe maybe.
Maple, maybe they should water and solvent proof those. Same finish as the newer CF.

...for my first true Sneaky Pete cue I got I made a cue case out of 2" PVC pipe with a glued on cap on one end and a clean out adapt on the other that obviously has a screw on plug . I've had this for many years now and for the most part no moisture has gotten into it had I been thinking when I made it , I'd of covered the inside of the pipe with some cloth like polar fleece , or I could still and sew tubes for the butt and the extra shafts to keep them protected .

pool noodle would make a good liner.

What did he in fact do?

he's the polar opposite in terms of pace.. his rating is based on two tournaments, will probably settle around 815.

Simple follow on the 5, CB off the end rail and straight back to about center table (touch of inside if needed).

Not saying it’s not a good idea, but touch of inside, is hilarious coming from you

Yes they would , for my first true Sneaky Pete cue I got I made a cue case out of 2" PVC pipe with a glued on cap on one end and a clean out adapt on the other that obviously has a screw on plug . I've had this for many years now and for the most part no moisture has gotten into it had I been thinking when I made it , I'd of covered the inside of the pipe with some cloth like polar fleece , or I could still and sew tubes for the butt and the extra shafts to keep them protected .

corner, corner, corner, corner?
don’t see a miss from here

Obviously just get out. I don't know why jocks don't see the futility of it. They're like lemmings into the pressure. Obviously as well, take it or leave it if it's your living.

I just started playing pool again I was away from the game for 13 years the whole Fargo system is new to me how would you get your Fargo number if you don’t have one can you estimate it playing the ghost where should you start your fargo and how many games played to get. Base thank for any help

Still looking. . .
