My last year at the Derby was the first year they moved the casino to just outside of the tournament area. It certainly seemed to me that the action in the action room was down because the players had lost their money in the casino. Maybe it rebounded in later years.

I've been to fifteen (best guess) Derby City Classics at the Caesar's Horseshoe. I really don't think that, as a group, pool tournament attendees have ever given the casino too much action. In the additional action room on the casino level which was added in January 2025 and was there once again in 2026, the action was pretty hot and heavy, often lasting 24/7 with some high betting and side betting, but as you indicate, not so much in the upstairs action rooms.

Everywhere is connected now. Our kid is doing a study abroad. You upgrade the phone plan and everything is internet etc…. Not that you want to be on AZ at something cool in France… but post some pictures.

This Cue has sentimental value for the owner.

There are few people that have original Paradise, Adam, Palmer, Viking, and others ferrules like that.

I think National may have as well.

But honestly, it's probably better to make one.

I definitely would not dowel it, especially since it has sentimental value.

Some will say it would not perform right, they should buy a new cue and never touch vintage cues IMHO.

Hello all, know this is an old post, but I was just wondering if Dennis is still shipping his tips. I ordered 4 Super Softs from his website 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing. Would rather have the tips than a refund.

Has anyone ordered them lately?

Thanks

His customer service does not matchup to his workmanship and products. I do not know if you used his tips before but I tossed mine.

Honestly, I don't think event attendees gamble much in the casino at pool tourneys. Over the years, I've spent more than a little time in the casino at Derby City and this is my observation. Now the bar, that's a different story, for they spend and spend and spend some more at the bar.

Could have been an old Palmer. There were a few back in the day that had screws in the shaft.

So did Adam cues.

How did you like them before the switch? Was being hard to get them part of the reason?
