She's just makin money moves.

After this failed attempt, we'll be trying the newest color, Mint Green.

Can't wait.

let see many or most cues are worth 1000 dollars or more. mine are. mostly.

i dont leave a 1000 in cash,, unattended,, sitting on a pool table and go to the bathroom or walk away from it. do you?

do you leave your wallet at the gas pump and go inside and get a cup of coffee?

why do it with your pool cue.

it get stolen because you are negligent. so don't cry.

unless they break into your car. then its a different story.

I bought five Milk Duds, they look great, I haven’t installed one yet as I am waiting on a new cue and if the tips aren’t to my liking I am going to try one of these.

Truth be told, one of the custom cue makers that I buy from has x-rayed a BK Rush butt and I'm trying to get him to make a copy out of some kind of ridiculous woods like Amboyna or similar. I would pair it with a BK Rush shaft though, just because I can.

Another way to say it is with topspin the CB always curves forward of the tangent line. Which way is clearer may depend on the specific layout.

Yes that's a good way to describe it. In this situation, where the curve occurs after rail contact, I'm not really sure how we could even determine a tangent line.

Years ago I suggested that Az create a cue registry and charge a fee to have pool cues registered as owned by you.
As a practice, every ethical cue dealer, collector or just a periodic buyer should check that the cue seller is the owner.

I don’t expect every single cue to get listed but the more expensive, collectible, sentimental custom pool cues could.
Every single cue I own I’d register. Pawn shops should be required to double check which would be simple and easy.

There was little interest in creating this new cue registry which was disappointing to learn. I think it has potential and
wondered why. Some of my cues are valuable so I obtained a rider on my insurance policy for my guns and pool cues.

Having run a pawn shop in Texas, the biggest obstacle with theft recovery would be an accurate description on both the owner's end and then when it's pawned/purchased. This description should definitely include serial numbers or unique markings, wood types, veneer colors, types of inlays, etc but your average pawn employee likely knows very little about pool cues.

The cue owner should also have very detailed high-resolution pictures showing the full cue and any unique features of a cue. It should also include any supporting documentation like the purchase receipt or LoAs.

I can only speak to Texas, but there is a registry that all of the pawn/purchase data gets uploaded to for law enforcement and they search by pictures and/or description and the more information you have, the more likely they can find a match. Some do, but I don't believe pawn shops here are required to take pictures. That said, I've been out of that game for a while.

The high-resolution pictures and details would also be helpful for the insurance rider if that wasn't required to start with.

They just need to bring their man card to turn it in. Excommunicado

Except the OP misremembered the shot, and the shot, as described, is impossible.

Yes Bob, I'm aware of that. My reply pertains to the straighter shot which he talked about in post 4.

Once they get big enough you stop caring about silly things like “girl colors”
