Interesting, I wasn't aware. Looks like you got a solid cue out of it.

I didn't know airports sold unclaimed baggage. Do you know how long it was there? Someone flying with a cue of that vintage/quality would probably want it back.

Great stuff, Nick is a good dude for sure. I squared off in a lag contest with him at a lesson and took him to the hill! It was best of three, but still...

I experimented recently with a 60 inch cue and went back to a 58 inch cue. I was gripping the very rear of a 58 inch but found my hand was too far back, and moving it forward seems to have helped my stroke. I'm a little under 6 foot. I also think 58 inch cues hit better, though that's...

Sweet piece of lumber!

I've never seen a Mike Stacey with a Radial pin, he tends to use 3/8x11. Kevin Varney used that collar color quite a bit, but like some have said, it's a big universe of makers out there.

Amen to that! Here in Florida I still play on Gandy tables regularly and they must be at least an inch lower than Diamonds and GCs. I do feel I miss more long shots on them when I'm tired.

Watched the final today while doing housework. Ko playing with a wood shaft with nearly one inch ferrule (Zen?), time for us to work on our cueing...

Horrible news to hear. My first suspicion is a local theft around West Palm. Dennis' name could be known to employees of the carrier, sort of like that high end watch maker whose name escapes me...been a few high profile thefts from racing drivers recently. I'll keep an eye out...one...

On the positive for those worried about their fancy cues in public, it seems there are fewer people who "appreciate" them with the carbon craze. Probably not a positive for market values though. It seems rare nowadays when someone checks out my cue. The younger players seemingly could not care...

I haven't noticed any real differences in all the wood shafts I've used regarding weight. As long as the overall cue weight is suitable and the shaft is well made, I don't see any issues. It seems there is a bit of a myth that heavier shafts are inherently better as the wood must be more...

Does not look like a Radial pin to me. More like 3/8x10 or 11.

Nice lumber there!

That is his standard ring pattern. Do you know if it's his standard jont diamater of ~0.842? Those shafts seem to sell fast on other sites, so if priced reasonably I think you'll be able to sell fairly quickly.
