Crown Cue

I have probably the last Crown cue made. The maker's shop was destroyed by a tornado in 2008
This 53 inch cue, has a 26.5 " Hard maple shaft with an ivorine ferrule and Triangle tip
The joint pin is 5/16-14 w a brass insert. The original weight is 17 ounces. however the but is drilled and tapped 1/2-13 for a weight bolt or extension
The forearm is maple burl Kingwood collar The cue is signed and unplayed Gene La Viness Is the cuemaker. It does come with the letter of authenticity


Gene made Masse cues , this one could possibly be that with heavier weight bolts in the back end
I'm asking $650 Plus the ride Pay pal

Another alignment key position not discussed much?

IMO .......the only consistency to the feet is the back foots relationship to the shot line. Some set up with it on the shot line, inside the shot line or perhaps even heel on the shot line etc.....I think some of that placement is dictated by your eye dominance and how you sight the shot......The front foot can have many different placements depending on the shot.

For pool...the setting of the feet first process is a little bass ackwards IMO.......The cue really has one ideal place to be when making a shot....straight along the shot line....the feet can have "many" different positions to get it there as determined by the proximity of the CB to the table.

Golf and Pool have a relationship here....IMO....In Golf...watch the process....there are ideal feet positions for every type of shot....but you will see the club get placed into alignment behind the ball and then the feet set into position (based on where the club is)....from repetition.... in most cases the feet are already close...but you will see foot shuffle to get them right.....usually the back foot is set and then the front foot is placed based on the desired shape of the shot.

..Heck watch Efren, Earl...many of the top pros....many of them place the cue and the back foot slides back a little.

Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

Bump, because now this guy who I sold this PureX cue to, is being told, by someone, that the BEM, in hand handle is not real.

Can anyone here tell me for certain, if the BEM, in the handle, is real, or if it might be a graphic decal, of some sort? If it is, then that just blows my mind, because it looks so real to me.

Thanks for any thoughts.
I offered to cut it up.

I was watching the sale, considered buying it and forgot about it.

Is it sold? Not sold? Buyer wants to back out? What's going on?

What, in your opinion, is the minimum Fargo you should have before entering a WNT Open?

I would not think a 400 would be disrespectful for entering for the experience.
The experience of watching your opponent play? Not “disrespectful”, but only slightly better than watching from the spectator seats.

On the other hand… I played Mika a 9-ball race to 5 once. I didn’t have a chance (maybe Fargo 600?), but getting in the ring with Mika, even just for “fun”, inspired me to break and run 4 1/2 racks. Which inspired Mika to run 4 1/2 and out, putting me in my starstruck place 🫤.

pj <- really a tie, right?

Fred “Scooter” Goodman is a thief. Here’s how he stole from me:

I’d like my shit back.

Me wife spared moneys and bought it for me for our anniversary.

Scooter knew and still knows this.

I just want me cue back exactly the way it was handed over.

Not from some $3 OF chick that’s texting me trying to cover his debts. Not Scooter’e baby momma from 12 years ago who hasn’t seen him in over 6 years; or his mommy for that matter.

I just want my fkn property and my moneys.

Scooter, Fred Goodman; you, sir; are simply despicable.

This is the guy you lent your cue to "for a few days"? No offense, but you paint this guy as morally bankrupt then you are surprised he victimized you? If I knew all this about this guy, no shot he'd be leaving my sight with anything of mine of value, especially sentimental value. It's been over a year and a half. It's time to come to grips with the fact you'll never see that cue again. Shame on you for letting him "borrow" it.
