I've seen Jim Rempe cut balls backwards off the spot with the cue ball sitting in the side pocket. He set it up and did it again.

I have a lot of Billiard magazines. I am located in Elgin, IL.

Just wanted to keep everybody posted and up to date. It's been four months since I ordered the Diamond Professional table now.

I am expecting breaking news almost any day now. Perhaps there's been a slight delay due to all the snow and the Derby City tournament.

I'll let you's know if I hear anything.

Thanks so much for the update. I think I speak for everyone when I say we are all on the edge of our seat and continuously wondering when you will receive your table. I think we will all sleep a little easier when it is safely delivered

Pretty much same here. You know how that stuff goes thru the halls. It's red coming in and blue going out. Doesn't mean it's all BS however.

Yeah, even fiction shouldn't imply bullshit. If you watch enough movies, it often tells the truth. Substitute novels for movies if you still practice literacy.

No difference between green and blue, and no difference between Pagulayan chalk and Taom

There is definitely a difference between the blue Taom V10 and the green Pagulayan.
The green Pagulayan is a bit softer and applies easier and stay longer. With V10 it's almost impossible to chalk very hard tips like jump and break tips and regular playing tips need to be scuffed often in order to hold the chalk.

Last bump to get it sold.

Gus made cues. Mizerak didn't make cues. He did create and trademark the brand.

So, who did that? Miz himself.

Outside the pool world, a helluva lot more people know the Mizerak name than Szamboti.

The SM-7 in the 1992 catalog was MSRP $599, that's about $860 today.

Not a Gus cue, but it sure isn't ramin wood either.

Right on.

My point was more that it’s nice the Szamboti legacy hasn’t been diluted and it’s a dang shame that more folks associate Mizerak with a cue they can get from wal-mart than a world champion.

not that weak, given the circumstances. but where is the world pool masters? world cup of pool? of the three events they choose to keep this slugfest, which is really an acquired taste

Those look like very nice cues, but eventually the brand was sold in places like Sportsmart and Big 5. I got one for $19.95 or so. It actually played pretty well.

Even looks like an overcut. Definitely air ball.

There may have been a comment about gender in there along with everything else that made things far worse.
But you know how those words of mouth stories go.
Looks like I'm late to the party again. Gotta start reading thru these B4 commenting. I'll never learn.

lol. Random guy I happened to know and familiar with eastcoast poolers mentioned some vague story about the mores of the time. I asked, that's all I heard.
