I picked up a plain one two years ago and it's become my main player. It's maybe the best balanced cue I've owned. It came with two short ferruled shafts which play very well IMO.

Have a coworker who is a master of the cryptic email/message. I'm beginning to decipher these posts, but still got a ways to go...

Part 1 = yes but it doesn't seem to be helping, in pool that is! Part 2 = I'm utterly helpless in solving

Though I do understand that a lack of stiffness is usually a non-starter.

And if anybody has seen the film Only Lovers Left Alive, we have the bullet made from Dalbergia Retusa (cocobolo).

Outside of the "hit" of the cue, I prefer non-steel joints with heavier wood forearms. They feel more "natural". A maple forearm with steel joint will likely balance differently. The average balance point might be the same as a non-steel joint, but it usually feels different when stroking.

It's a war currently raging in my closet. The woman keeps adding more clothing items and the cases are pressed for space. I knew it was bad when I lost count and had to check my spreadsheet for the official tally.

It might a Jersey gal though if so, they can be kinda feisty at times.

Pretty sure the next time I read that distinction the #1 spot had gone back to Prague, so you're on to it.

Indeed the Schlenkerla beer is might tasty with the right meat accompaniment. Spent some time in Bamberg and at one point it had the highest beer consumption per capita in the world.

Justin B. enacted revenge on all of us!

We have a couple leagues here in Florida. They probably survive due to a healthy contingent of retirees. The game frustrates me but feels more honest than the occasional crapshoot 9 ball can be.

I recall the shot and struggling to recall his opponent too. Maybe Dallas West?

I have wondered the same from watching Niels. I'm a straight arm guy and do worry about shoulder wear. But did try the arm on the table thing and it feels about as awkward as standing on one leg to shoot. I seemed like my head was over my tip!

I know what you mean. My girlfriend works for a Vietnamese family and the discourse among them can sound like a percussive machine gun rattle of soft 'a' sounds. Nonetheless, there is a big community of them in my part of Florida and they all seem like good human beings.
