Just bought the ebony cue from custom billiard cues in the Cleveland area.Should be here in a couple days.We should keep in touch cause I'm buying now.I'm in Dearborn Heights 313-670-3285.
Thanks for your message. I'm not ALWAYS wrong, lol! Hope you saw I backed you on the Westboro Church punking, since I think your point there was obviously correct. Since opinions vary so much, I never judge anyone down simply because they disagree with me on a particular point, or even in general. Although maybe I'm too persistent in given areas of argument, and need to just accept that opinions differ and are VERY hard to change.
hey bill,just wondering if this cue was one of your early cues or if they butt cap has been replaced? http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=382020 I have the same (great)cue with a plain ebony buttsleeve and joss scraped into the sleeve.
Yes Teddy, George was a great player and very under-mentioned. I saw Ginky before he past and he was still speaking of George. Whatever became of Paul who owned a banner and pennant company?
BTW< if you remember me, this is Eddie Johnson. I was friend of Slim and owned a small store on St Marks. Glad to see you are doing well. I am living and thriving in Angeles City, Philippines. Efren also lives here sometimes.
Hello Chris.I've heard some things about your cues and you're local to me(essentially) I'm in Dearborn Heights.I see a cue of yours on Ebay.It's in Cleveland and the seller has no feedback but I'm interested.Maybe we could talk about a build here soon.Thanks.
I apologize if I sent you multiple PMs but it keeps telling me I have no sent msgs-
So the global table isn't going to play very well (I know it's not a Gold Crown but could I get a similar "feel" with the way it's constructed, slate, cushions, etc.)? I thought those tables retail for around $4K new. Is his asking price fair?
Is there anyone else you would recommend in my area for table tune-up?
The model he has is all rosewood finish. Photos show it in decent condition with some typical use scuffs on the pedestals, originally coming from a pool hall in Woodland Hills. Cloth is worn and will need to be replaced. Wondering if there’s anything in particular I should look out for or any particular questions I should be asking about it when I go see it. I emailed about seeing it Monday and he mentioned he'd be willing to help disassemble it, load it up into his truck and get it to my place (which is not really that close).
Also wondering if you could recommend a good mechanic in my area. I spoke to Donny Wessels but he said he’ll only work personally on Diamond tables now. He mentioned Steve Leisekow but I wasn’t able to get contact info and can’t seem to find any.
Hi Glen, haven’t posted here before but have been reading posts religiously in hopes of finding a good players table on my limited budget. I’m in San Pedro, CA and usually playing on tables over at Hard Times in Bellflower. I saw in the Sticky of the mechanics directory that you had delivered Global tables (albeit from 7 years ago). I found someone with an 8’ Global Centennial asking $850. I was hoping to get your opinion on this table if you’re familiar with it. I can’t really afford a Diamond or Gold Crown. Wondering if his asking price is fair. Looks like 7/8” slate with 7/8” poplar backing according to him (and their website).
Why is it hard to believe that dying a table won't work. Believe me it did, thought I would post this to help some pool room owners out maybe save them money.
You sent me a PM message about a trade on your Jacoby, but I have been unable to reply because your PM mail box is full. Please email pictures of the Jacoby to me at, nineballkid386@gmail.com. Thank you very much.
God job Kevin. As you start getting the head over where it needs to be naturally you will find other little things that will help along your journey to improve your game. By now though you realize that unless you have those eyes right it's pretty impossible to improve. Now you can get better because your manually getting the sight in the right position. Good luck and thanks again....
