Custom Cue with Ivory

Thoughts on reputable makers still using Ivory. I love the hit, and am in the market for another custom.

You need to check your State laws. I was told that in many States it is legal to use it for cues staying in the cuemaker's State.
Ordering one from out of State violates the Interstate Ivory trade band. I could be wrong on any of this as laws often contradict themselves. So I am just sharing what my understanding of things are.

SJM at 2025 Mosconi Cup: Way too Late Thoughts

The question of where all the talent has gone is huge, of course. As is how to develop what talent already exists.

For now I just want the best U.S. players to simply get better and be more prepared. Improving the talent pool, even if achievable, will take time.

Amen to that. You can't grow the talent pool overnight, so the focus must be on bringing the most promising players to the highest possible level, and it is in this regard that, I feel, America has failed for many years now.

this is a misunderstanding of what's technically a foul vs pool tradition and customs. refereeing autism..

when pro pool players start playing deliberate scoop shots i will change my mind

Only seen one pro player do it live and no one saw it, can't remember the match.
Old recording, likely from the 80's, I've tried to find it, but time made me not try again, might of been a network production?
Efren shooting 9', table was full of balls (8 ball game??) cue ball r/s behind? or near the head string, even the announcers didn't catch it, very slight scoop jump over the outside feather edge of the blocking ball.
A table length roller/scooper/jump shot, medium speed, he made it. :)

A. Appears that way.
A1. Did you think it was a foul?
Did the officials that none of us saw in the last five years.... teach you this?

So they changed a draw shot miscue to a BIH foul.
Being a Nat. referee.... iusedtoberich.

Show us/me in print where the rules/rule book says draw shot hop miscues are Fouls?

I guess anyone than can change an American orange 5 ball, can change a misCue :).

See the dr dave thread SJM quoted.

No, I disagree with it being called a foul. It should not be a foul, imo. The EU refs started doing it out of the blue about 5 years ago. About the same time they started calling a foul if a player put their hand in the pocket to remove a ball when the game was over. They travel worldwide to major events so it became "standard" the past few years.

I'm actually quite surprised this is the first you're hearing about this.

The latest rule set, released in 2025, aimed to explicitly NOT make it a foul I believe.

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

Thanks, I have a Kamui soft on a cue and like it and just decided to go that direction. So . . . was on the fence about the colors and kept coming back to the NBN all black, just in case got the weight kit and it was discounted a little, Prime II and I'll have a black leather wrap - never done that before but I've gone back and forth over trying that and decided to pull the trigger (also have a little bit of an issue gripping too far back and that will be a reminder, I guess). I'm very interested to get acquainted with it if it gets here before Xmas and I think it has a chance, otherwise between Xmas and New Year's I have some family time/time as well - good time to hang out at my table. Merry Christmas to me, haha.
