Since, I'm too lazy to do a research in AZBilliards Forum.

I did carry a cheap looking one piece cue, with ivory ferrule and hard tip trumpet. Into the bars or my regular waterhole hidden in the corner by the bar!

It was a 55" Ramin wood cue.

So the question .... who else carry their own one piece cue?

hi Bob,

I did have one I always used in a bar I went to a lot. (been like 50 or so years) there was a 22 oz that everyone left alone cause it was heavy but it had the best tip in the house.

didn't have a favorite in the pool rooms, but you could always find someone elses favorite cause they would mark them with a cigarette burn.

there was one room on the west side had all titlists on the wall. then there was the other extreme all the cues in the 3 bowing alleys (the ones with 9 footers) were straight out of a wc fields movie.

m.c.

he was the most intimidating player i've seen when he got in "roll and stroll" mode

he also seemed to strike whitey with the same apprx force the majority of time

big "chang" (rip) reminded me a of this to a degree, i also like how Fedor gets around the table

Buddy always looked like he had a plan when he walked in the front door. He seemed as inevitable as death and taxes.

When I first met Buddy he was a long lanky guy with just a small beginning of a beer belly. I could have got in action with him then or many a time in the coming years. Somehow it never seemed like a good idea!

Where have you been? Wondering if you went off or something. :ROFLMAO:

I went home for my summer vacation. 6 weeks of not playing pool (though I did get on a snooker table 2 or 3 times with my dad, but that doesn't involve a lot of table time for me... I took one frame off him the whole vacation, and that was because he blasted the reds open early lol).

Got back to the Middle Kingdom on the weekend, back to work the last couple of days.
My jet-lagged brain won my first tourney here somehow, which I will likely write about when I have real work I should be avoiding :ROFLMAO: Was at a place I don't play often, but was really pleasantly surprised by the standard and community at the hall.

Back to the thread title, I am curious where exactly Konrad throws his toys out the pram in the video. Someone timestamp it. Love a good strop.

What 9b? I started playing rotation on 5 x 10 in the '50, pea pool,before it was call ring game.... From Southern Illinois ( Johnston City area) before you change diaper. Play 8ball, more for your quarter in the '60. Now I just too old to worry about pool youth today, other than promotion pool/billiard. My money come elsewhere!!

sounds like you play because you enjoy the challenge the game presents, winning or losing is secondary.

keep on stroking and i hope you find the wand your looking for

Always a little tricky trying to explain. The trick is to stay in the present, no past or future, but the present can cover a lot of ground. I always tried to make the entire inning the present. I thought out the entire inning standing, then the goal was not to think again until after the inning. Out of practice now but this was highly effective for my play and discouraging for my opponents who tended to assume I gave no thought to the run when I had worked it out in detail before I bent over the first shot.

The physical flow from shot to shot was intimidating, deliberately so when I found out it rattled some people when all shots were shot with roughly the same pacing, hard or easy. Nothing to think about or second guess myself about when the planning had already been done.

I used to work in a pool hall when I was a kid and I repaired the cues.

I would always find the one that I liked best at the time and fix it up and stash it behind the bar.

When I went to other places to play money games, I would take it wiith me.

The first road hustler I saw sneaking a one-piece cue into our pool hall was Jack Taylor from Texas, Alfie's brother.

He was the one who first introduced me to LePro tips and he put one on my one-piece cue.

You hit the point! Do Bar players need an expensive cue or just a cue that can do the job. In other word can I win just as much money with a 10 buck cue , as I could with a 1000.00 buck cue.
