I Have a Gracio with a 3/8 x10 mod brass pin. When I had a few cues built later on I could specify what pin I wanted and it didnt much matter to them

House cues for sure. I do, however, provide the illusion of choice:
“Do you like a soft or hard tip? Okay, light or heavy? Great, this should be just what you want.”

Do you bring out the nice ball sets? I had an el cheapo set of polyresins for my nieces and nephews and made the mistake of leaving them out to practice with. Things start to burn the cloth before you can even fill a pocket.

Went the way of the lower priced Dynasphere. Same playability as higher priced phenolics and I don’t feel the urge to strangle one of those little heathens if they launch a ball off the table and it goes clattering all over.

actually the ghost should be the better test of one's fargo rating. as little luck is involved as the balls are spread most times and you get an easy start.

assuming most will break them open. but after enough games it should sort itself out.
and a person with a legit fargo rating should do better than one that has a lower one. of course you can find a way to make an exception.

even fairer would be to spot any that go in on the break so all start with 9 balls every game. and spot them so as to keep it open.

Cool, I've got a Crouch now as my main player. Great cues. Send some pics and specs if possible. Thanks

The Mali T-6 cue, Predator LE6 Purpleheart cue and Joss Northeast 9 Ball Tour cue are still available at great prices

Predator Tru Splice and Palmer cues are sold. Predator LE6 Purpleheart and Joss Northeast 9 ball cues are still available.

Hell no.

That's the same silly argument that says poor/mediocre players should enter open tournaments because sitting on their ass watching good players run out will somehow make them better.

Newsflash. You can get the same experience watching from the rail...

It's a little weird, probably come off better if it was done something similar to what SVB just did recently in terms of the way it was promoted --- but maybe it's his way of having fun (at your expense, of course). Seems like a reasonable price for a "lesson" and no doubt fun for some.

I'd like to think I'd fire the C in earnest but there are so many elements to experience you can't reap all of power buttons. I'd probably end up just taking my turns - maybe turn - until he wins.

Backers of pros spend orders of magnitude more than 100 bucks for even less return, not sure why people are getting slammed for “donating” a few dollars to play a world class pro for shits and giggles. It’s entertainment and a memorable experience.

bump. primarily looking for 5/16x18 keilwood.

The other guy shoots fine but he is no match for Oscar.

That is really interesting. I still wonder if their Carbon Fiber shafts are high quality though. Comparable to the other mainstream / expensive shafts on the market.

Yes, they are.

Hey buddy. Believe it or not I have that same Wrapless Bocote one with black handle that I sold you a few years ago! I picked it up a couple years later and it is exact cue! Still in great shape.
