Back in the Mid-80's thru 2000, 'American Vinyl Products' ( I was a distributor) made Excellent Buttefly cases the US!

AVP- I haven't heard them mentioned recently. I have one by accident, got it with a cue. Pretty good case.

Longoni cases are excellent.

So are JB, Volturi, and Castillo.

If I were in the market for one right now I would probably look at Castillo first. I did have one years ago and sold it. I rarely sell and I honestly don't remember having a good reason to sell it.

Why would I look at Castillo first? American made.

I remember NASCAR fantasy being big 25 years ago.

If we still think ESPN is the inclusion to mainstream. Then you would want their morning radio affiliates to be talking about them.

Something like: It’s survey Wednesday here on ESPN radio and every ninth caller draws a name for this weekends Nashville Nineball presented by Matchroom MultiSport.

We’ll be down at Slim and Chubby’s this Thursday from 7 to 9 for the annual Mosconi Cup draft. Drink and food special’s brought to you by Window Warriors, their exclusive triple pane tech is being offered two for one if you call today and use code Fedor’s Finger Fungus.

Now let’s take a look out our triple Doppler weather window and give you your Guardians game time firecast.

I can’t imagine why anyone would use a construction bolt that doesn’t have a way to tighten it. Even the K-Mart specials Ive come across over the years have a way to remove them.

Well, tightening would not be a problem. It's threaded for a bumper bolt. You can use that to tighten it. This is important with a Delrin butt cap because adhesives don't work. I think a lot of makers will say threading the cap on is best practice. Yours is just sleeved on a short tenon, right?

Loosening or removing would be a problem. Reminds me of makers that glued the bolt in, like Huebler.

for instance since a bar makes much more off draft beer then bottles. it would be foolish for them to feature or push bottles instead of off the tap.

same with their pool table they get a buck a game from bangers who just want to play and don't even think about the equipment.

so why pay to keep the pool table in better condition as it isn't going to increase usage enough to pay for the extra costs.

That’s what Eddie is doing and it doesn’t look good.

I looked a little and I hope I’m wrong but I think people aren’t getting their property back.

I agree...but I hope not. I despise thieves..

I don't believe that that law applies to this situation. Anyone can quote any law that favors them and say that it applies, doesn't make it so.

Yes, I wouldn't say your cue is one of these. The one you have does look like it was made from some production cue...or the result of repairs.

She has no obligation to do anything. She is keeping everything Joe had.

She may intend on keeping everything Joe had, but as an estate administrator she does have legal obligations. I agree, it does look as though she wants it all regardless of her legal obligations. Hopefully someone, or many, will pursue this and make the courts decide.

I shape my cue tips before every day of play in part so that I can replace tips more often. I do not have a glazing problem.

The problem I have had is that any tip that has a clear or plastic bottom to it, it is more likely the cue tip will pop off. That includes the Kamui clear tips, Rhino's Time Crystal, and the super-expensive Paladin Precision (two images here).

Her answer in the document was “she is not responsible for Joes obligations”

Click to expand...

Of course...that has to be her position if she has already disposed of the property or has no intention of doing so. That doesn't make it so.

Watching pool today is almost unbearable for me.

Slow players, constantly changing formats and rules, and commentators who are not great players or speakers.

I had rather watch curling.

Joe is alright. At least he encourages people to think for themselves. Thanks for supporting pool, Joe.

One question I haven't noticed being mentioned is How much did Mr. Salazar's widow know about his business?

If he kept his business life and his personal life fairly well compartmentalized, his widow may well have not actually known that he sold cues on consignment rather than just buying and selling cues. If she didn't hear anything about consignment until after her husband's death, she could understandably be worried about being hustled by various pool players. Collectively, we pool players don't have the greatest reputation for honesty and ethics.

Very possible...then she still has the legal obligation as an estate administrator to verify the ownership of any and all property before she disposes of them. She may be entitled to be compensated for her efforts.
