When I 1st clicked on the link to this thread, I though it was "Louie and the Pechauer Cue." I was thinking, "what an odd thing to write a book about."

@kingwang I'd like to know what search terms you used to find this thread

Roll call! Who's still here after 20 years.

I think both the 1st post in this thread and the 20 year resurrection post could and should be treated as "unsportsmanlike conduct" and loss of game.

Since this thread was started, in one pocket, an intentionally double hit to freeze the CB to the tit is often now played a foul plus BIH.

Well, that information is worth about a hundred bucks less than I paid for it.

When does the 'stop sounding foolish' part begin?

Thanks!
Short version.... Worked in pool room 80's 90s. I got pretty good. Played a lot of medium to high stakes matches and some poker. The stress caused me to have ulcers. (3). Doc said I should quit gambling. I did. Including pool altogether.
Recently, a friend of mine wanted to have a low key bachelor party for a small group of friends. He convinced me to go bowling. I never bowl. The place had about 10 pool tables in back. (immaculate condition Brunswicks). He wanted to shoot some before we left. That was like a crackhead hitting the pipe after 22 years sober. So here I am. Only difference is that I'm not 'pretty good' at the moment.

Thanks for that. I had correspondence with Cuefits. They couldn’t confirm any of their pieces would work even though I provided detailed measurements of each of my cue butt configurations.

Seybert’s has been more accommodating in exchanging emails with me concerning specs so I’m waiting for them to expand their offerings to other cue brands, and hopefully will offer individual weight bolt pieces in addition to complete extension kits.

All due respect...I hate you...

Back around 1990 there was a little pizza shop in a small coal patch town that had a Valley coin table. I used to hang out there some and play.

On the wall rack they had Willie Hoppe cues. I think there were four, as well as some one piece Titlist cues. The local kids beath the crap out of those cues. I wish I had the foresight to grab at least a couple of them.

Shall we assume you are going to convert that ebony cue you found?

Yes down the road. I had two others I traded for a couple tip replacements. One is converted and the other is still waiting for some attention. A double butterfly would have been awesome, never heard of one before. The conversion was my player for a while, but I made a purpleheart shaft for it and it is my breaker now.

@Booch19090 your cue brother.

9 ball getting slightly airborne when it hit the rail would be my guess. I saw that live and couldn't believe he went for that two rail, Total sell out.

Nice shot! Got a smile out of me when you drilled it.

haha, thanks for watching. Yeah, he's usually fairly smart with the CB. I almost said to him "thanks partner" when I saw it was setting me up for a bank.

The best hunting dog is the one you have now , just like what's the best cue & shaft the same what you have now , you need to learn what it takes to find the sweet spot .

I have a Brittany and a Dieckman.
I'm sticking with that.

Thanks, Garczar and Chopdoc, I really appreciate the help.

The explanation of the matching stamped numbers makes perfect sense, and it’s great to know that was an Adam production practice rather than just a random assembly mark. That, along with the joint construction, certainly points me in the right direction.

I’ll start digging through the Brunswick catalogs to see if I can pin down the exact model and catalog year. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I’ll report back if I’m able to locate it in the Brunswick archive.
