Thanks…..posts like you just created are objectively informative and also very persuasive.

I have been preaching the benefits of Renaissance Wax for more than a decade on this Forum and lots of readers tried it. Not one had griped except 1 person bought some but it was counterfeit and just crap. It did not even resemble what Renaissance Wax looks like. You will not find any other pool...

I wish I had a loudspeaker for this Forum……..I cannot scream it any louder…….RENAISSANCE WAX. You don’t know what you do not know until you actually learn by listening to your peers. I have played pool for 65 years and owned lots of pool cues. Start using Renaissance Wax and you will forever...

Maybe try some CA Mendocino Sativa instead of Indica……the Golden Triangle is heralded to be the best in the USA.

Anyone know how many cues TS or Mike made?

Any photos of Mike’s best work?

p.s. I never heard any Schon referred to as a Clarke Schon or a Evan Schon but it’s always been a Runde Schon. Otherwise it’s just a Schon cue. Same is true of Pete Sr. & Pete Jr. & always true of Jerry and Southwest cues. If the authenticity of a cue is questioned, even whimsically, you look...

My point is both Tim and Mike are deceased. This cue was built in 2004 I suppose since I bought it from the orig, owner in early 2005. Without any disrespect to Mike’s cue building skills because I earlier acknowledged Mike was highly talented. Mike only started working for Tim Scruggs in 2004...

Yeah he did….but I can’t tell you who hands were on this cue back in 2004. I didn’t order it but the seller told me he was communicating directly with Tim from initial order to the cue’s completion. Mike was so highly talented that it is akin to comparing Danny Tibbits and Joel Hercek……..I’d be...

A little better view of my TS cue……I feel fortunate to have gotten it. It was built for another Azer’s wife. She didn’t care for how it turned out or whatever the reason was so he put it up for sale back in 2005. I jumped on it as soon as I spotted it on eBay. In hindsight, it was a steal of a...

Jacoby Cues can build a KW shaft that is not cored and w/o any weight added that is heavy. They actually built a KW shaft with my specs (4 ozs) but when it was ready to ship, the specs were miscommunicated to me by someone in sales I had never dealt with. So I declined the shaft and ordered...

I have had to use PayPal on 3 eBay auctions in the last 45 days with non-receipt on one item and not as described on the other two. The PayPal process requires to include photographic proof which I did except for one. I got a refund on all three within a week. Prior to that, I have 20 years of...

I have two cues with elephant ear and elephant belly wraps. Elephant belly feels much better, IMO. But my I have 5 pool cues Cortland Linen which is vastly superior to any other linen or Cuttyhunk wrap. Since Cortland Linen has become akin to Hen’s Teeth, if I had a cue underway, I’d use a...

How a cue plays has less to do with how the cue maker constructed it and a whole lot more to do with the player that is using the pool cue. The bottomline is it’s the player, i.e., Indian and not the cue. i.e., arrow.

Yes, the cue ball has already started moving before the tactile feel becomes discernible. Duh……and your point would be…….what? That the player can’t feel anything that is discernible about hitting the CB too hard or using too much or not enough follow or a stop shot that didn’t? Feedback helps...
