Happy Birthday, Smorg!!! You're still missed.

Happy Birthday Smorg!!! You too Doug!

I feel really lucky to have my table. I've modified my practice a little and I think it's making me slow down and improve my stroke. I'm playing the ghost and making sure not to get within 6 feet of her, (my ghost is a woman). I chalk my break cue, break the rack and take ball in hand...

Today would have been SmorgAssBored's 74th birthday! Happy birthday, Smorg!

I had both eyes done in January, and the difference is amazing! Your description of the color shift is correct. My near vision was always good and still is. My distance vision is much improved. I ride motorcycles so eye protection is required anyway, but I may actually be able to pass the...

I'm getting used to the Sniper tip. I've reshaped it to a dime radius and used a dimpler on it. It holds chalk well, and I'm not experiencing miscues at all. I'm going to stay with it for now. I'm loving the Cynergy shafts!

Oops, I stand corrected, all but the Cuetec/Scorpion pin are 21.3 mm

I can tell you the one for the Cuetec/Scorpion 3/8 x 14 pin is 20 mm and is narrower than the rest which are 20.3 mm. When the cue is assembled, the joint is invisible to the touch.

There really isn't much in the way of sound. The shaft is very smooth and the tip is softer than I'm used to. No "tink" sound to speak of. I'm loving it enough that I bought a second one!

Further observations after a few days. 1) I find the need for the left hand glove to be virtually eliminated. The finish on these shafts is wonderful. Very smooth. If the table is clean, and your bridge hand stays reasonably clean, the slide thru and on the bridge hand is flawless. 2) I did...

I'm getting used to the tip, or perhaps it's getting used to me. I doubt that it's firmed up much over the past 3 days. I love the shaft enough that I ordered a second one! Blew my pool equipment budget for the next few months, but I had Seybert's Bucks accumulated and they had the shaft...

Just received my Cynergy shaft and while I've only hit a few balls with it, it appears to be exactly as advertised. I ordered it to fit a Scorpion cue that happens to be perfectly straight and balanced exactly the way I like it. 1) I was wondering why the shipping package was over 3 lbs. The...

I just got mine today. I'm impressed! I have 2 Instroke Cowboys in leather and love them. John has done it again. I bought the JB Ultimate Rugged 2x5/3x4 in black. Very nice case. I'll be strapping to a motorcycle and have every confidence this case will hold up to just about anything I'll...

I've known John for many years, as both Barton and Collins, from his years in Greeley and Loveland. He's very passionate about what he does, and life in general. He's someone you can count on if you need him. I just ordered a Rugged case from Seyberts, and I'm sure I'll be as happy with it as...

Shane has always been good to deal with. I bought my first Predator cue from him at the KC BCA show in, I believe, 2000. I didn't know where he ended up at. Glad to hear he's still selling cues.
