EXACTLY. These threads about what pros use or god-forbid 'those that stick to wood' queries are beyond tired. Look folks, all these top players could run out with a bar cue. They get EVERYTHING free and in most(ALL??) cases they are gettin jellied for using the: cue/shaft/chalk/glove/case you see them with. Same thing with golf: DO NOT base your equip. choice(s) on what some pro uses.

I don't care what they use in term of performance, I don't think that getting the same cue will make me better.
I am interested in some cues that pros used but mainly as an general interest in knowing, especially if it's a good looking cue, this comes from a point of a cue lover and not as a player.

No way!!1 Why wasn't I notified??/

Every time I went to the table to shoot, I’d walk the table gathering all the chalks.
I’d then place the chalks on one spot on the rail face up and stack 2 chalks and
have 3 stacks of chalk. I’d do it every time it was my turn to shoot.

If my opponent doesn’t take the hint and asks me why I’m doing that I’ll reply this
way. For 2 very good reasons……Having chalks all around the table distracts from
my field of vision on way too many shots. Just as important is not needlessly making
a mess of chalk dust and debris that gets deposited on the rails that eventually gets
on my bridge hand or glove. Having clean rails is very important and it’s why I do this.

I’ll do it every time it’s my turn and the more I have to do it, the slower I’ll get it done
each ensuing turn at the table. If need be, I’ll start using my Ed Norton imitation from The
Honeymooners. I’ll start stacking the chalks and keep rearranging or moving the chalks to
a different location on the table from where I just spent time previously stacking the chalks.

I know exactly how Art Carney would screw around with Ralph (Jackie Gleason) taking time
to do the simplest of acts like when he had to sign a document. When you gather the chalks,
just do it with a smile and briskly. By the 4th time, start going real slow and slower each time.
I’d take 75-90 secs or longer wiping the rails with napkins if he keeps placing chalk face down.

Good job outta you.

This clip reminds me of growing up on the reservation it didn't matter what you were playing basketball at the basketball court baseball on the North or south sides of town or a pickup game of football it was all pretty much full contact and fouls were for sissies during some games .

Even playIng kick ball or dodge ball was rough and tumble at times with the others trying everything to distract you , then car moved close to two other indian,reservations and it was the same thing different day !

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

"Keep the tip"

Please don't ban me!

The best is (sounds like what this guy does) when a dude walks around the table a chalks with every piece of chalk before shooting, someone that does that needs a good whack upside the head with the fat end of a house cue. Same when they put the chalk upside down on the rail, just why???? The dude needs to be explained to that's its a foul if a ball goes up on the rail and strikes a piece of chalk, that's why you don't want 5 chalks on the rail. One night at league there were excessive chalks on the table and people were only using the one good one, when it was my game the chalk was out of reach from where I was shooting from and all of the crappy chalks were grouped together, I used my cue like a hockey stick and slap shotted them across the room, everyone started laughing. I didnt do it for the humor, more or less just making a point to get the crap off of the table, especially if its not being used.

How about a simple throat punch on the first offense, should (hopefully) stop the stupidity.
