Both of you are being a bit petty, but seriously, the conversation was about a woman of the same fargo rate and you immediately said, "Yeah, but a man would smoke you if he's dressed like a woman". lol

I know I am late on this.

Been so busy I am neglecting cues. But I am still here.

Dude, you know it's an Asian cue. I know it's an Asian cue.

98.639% for sure made in Taiwan. Kao or similar.

If that is Ivory I'll eat my socks. It's plastic.

Hello cuemaking warriors.
Question....
I install my own tips by hand.
Recently removed a tip that was black all the way thru. Some of the black dust got on my ferrule and when I applied sil kleen, the black color seemed to sink into the grain of the ivory and I can't get it out.
I tried 3000, 4 diff cleaners, even a touch of bleach, all in vain.
Have any of you experienced this and what did you do to clean your ferrule??
Tia!!

Are you 100% sure?
I'll be the first to admit I haven't seen it all.
A closeup sharp picture may help.

There is no such thing as a hand made cue.
They are all made using machines.

Well, to be fair, good snooker cues are made with hand planes.

But this cue was made on a lathe in Asia.

Lathe operators do have hands.

There are several options. Just add a 14-year-old to the tournament to help you pick one and set it up online.

i traded for a Runde in 2012 maybe.... after the bulletin change / redo from previous tech I lost all those messages and history.

Cool cue.

I’m not sure I agree with that
You see many top players today taking full back swings close to the bridge hand and doing well with the tight pockets
Chris Meling and fedor Gorst come to mind

Yes - but the big difference is that most of the great players today who pull the cue further back on the backswing do not have much shoulder integration into their stroke - it is mostly an elbow only pendulum swing.
So they are clearly more compact and robotic. They get the timing down so that the elbow pivot allows for max velocity as the cue strikes the cue ball and that creates the action needed without extra effort or moving parts.
Some, like Meglino, as seen this week, are mostly just forward motion of the cue with little back swing - he uses a short backswing almost exclusively when he wants to draw the cue - watch closely on different shots.
There is NO doubt that the old Brunswick GC 4 7/8 standard and the Cenntenial/ Anniversary model were 5+ — allowed for way more leeway in stroke mechanics to still play very very well.

Happy Heaven Birthday Deek-A-Mon . Hope you and Carl Colonon enjoying some 3c in heaven!!!
After today Cue will be put back in closet with my of collection for another yearzzz.

Great, out of millions of players around the world, there are two that are exceptional…

In any system, a moving part is a weakness point, and since the human body is far from being an accurate machine, the stroke is the weakest point in our game and usually the main reason for misses even at the top pro level.

Gymnastics, football, baseball, volleyball, etc etc etc. Lots of moving parts.

If fact, pool has almost no moving parts, in most cases only the forearm/elbow/wrist

BTW, he only mentioned 2, he didn't say there were only 2

Long story short, I've seen players practicing their "max spin swoop stroke" and their "quick draw dive-bomb stroke" and I want them to know AND BELIEVE that they are just adding complications.

Trying to figure this one out.

Silver label. Steel joint collar. 3/8x10 pin. Ebony into stained maple. Rounded points.

Crappy eBay pics. I don't have the cue yet.








Yes, I am still looking for ebony into maple cues. Passed up a number of spectacular cues. There are a couple good examples available right now. I did not prefer the stain on this one, but just couldn't pass it up. Nice condition.

My cue efforts are on the back burner while I am busy but I ran into this and grabbed it for this collection:
