    Thorpe blasts ‘one of the dumbest rules’ after becoming ineligible for USA Mosconi Cup team

    He didn't say he was broke, just that it was not financially sensible since it was single elimination and 3 to four hours from the nearest airport.

    What is a cue’s “hit”?

    I love the hit and balance of my Meucci. A solid feeling hit, with no vibration. Excellent response when using spin/english.

    Transaction Question - Appropriate response?

    One problem is that it sounds like the seller has already spent the funds and does not have the means to offer a refund for at least a couple weeks.

    Thanks tg_vegas

    Ordered a keilwood shaft from tg_vegas a while ago and was thoroughly impressed with his work. It took longer than expected due to circumstances beyond his control, but he went above and beyond to make it right for me. Then I sent my original Meucci shaft to him to be turned down and refinished...

    Meucci still with the bad customer service

    They do not have them sitting in stock, which is why they state that there is up to a 10 week lead time since they are made to order. I have heard from people that have purchased cue's from them recently that their quality issues have been taken care of. My 95-11 is an awesome cue with no issues.

    Meucci still with the bad customer service

    M Mine from the 90's is awesome as well. No issues whatsoever. I did recently send the original shaft to a member here to have it turned down to 12.5 and cleaned up a bit after 31 years.

    Need info on Ultraskin Tips. Are they back?

    They are Ultraskin tips. She has taken on Cue Components out of Michigan as a distributer for her, and when you order from Walmart they ship from Cue Components. They sell for 9.95 each so that Cue components and Walmart both get a share. I don't know how much Cue Components pays for them but...

    Need info on Ultraskin Tips. Are they back?

    Lately I have been storing my tips in small air tight containers that my wife's blood meter strips come in.

    Meucci still with the bad customer service

    Since the super billiards expo was just a little over 4 months ago, and he ordered it since then- someone is lying. They do state on their site that there is a 10 week lead time.

    Need info on Ultraskin Tips. Are they back?

    Walmart is selling them for 9.95 for one. They are now back to quantities of 10 again like they were. https://www.layeredcuetips.com/

    Ultraskin tips

    The Ultraskin Ivory has become my favorite tip. Both the hard and Medium work very well for me.

    Sold Schmelke Sneaky. Butt only.

    I talked to Dave today and he sent me pictures of a Red heart cue and I ordered it. He will ship it out for me tomorrow for 147.70 and he will cover shipping. We are both from Wisconsin but he is about 100 miles from me.

    Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

    It says points, not inlays! My guess is decals.

    Sold Schmelke Sneaky. Butt only.

    You should contact Dave about the issues with your cue. He is well known for keeping his customers happy. I plan on visiting his store next week as I am in the market for a break/bar cue, and a starting price of 145.00 is not a bad price for a Sneaky.
