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.

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

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.

Back in the 70's and 80's there was always one or two bars in the league that had the oversized CB.

Your back giving you issues? How come your tip makes that funny noise when you use english on the ball? You feeling ok today? You look a little pale! You look really tired! Your tip or ferrule sounds loose! Your back stroke seems a little jerky! That stance has to bother your hips! ;)

I normally wear glasses, but wear contacts when playing billiards because longer cut shots are difficult with my bifocals.

This is my 4 point 95-11 color variation is from different lighting.

Performance outweighs looks when it comes to shafts.

If someone is stabbing at the cue ball that may be true, but someone accelerating through contact will have a different effect. It will have an affect one way or another, either increasing or decreasing the effect. The timing of the springing back will be influenced by the stiffness/flex of the...

Do any of these devices also measure how far the tip of the shaft itself bends offline without losing contact with the cue ball and causing a miscue? Do any of them measure how much the shaft bends while the tip maintains its position? Tip deflection VS shaft flexing would be an interesting...

This is an interesting theory, and has me wondering about why I could always get more spin on the cue ball without a miscue with my whippy 12mm Eckes shaft compared to everyone else back in the 70's & 80's. I do realize that a 12mm tip is able to hit lower on the cue ball compared to a 13mm tip...

I like my 4 point 95-11. Still straight and an awesome playing cue with excellent feel.

No, my thumb stays attached.

I use lens cleaner wipes that I use on my eye glasses - they work great and don't damage the finish.

I had a tip come off during a game in a small tournament and I finished the game with a house cue - then quickly glued my tip back on between games with the super glue I always carried. After the match I replaced the tip with a new Elk Master which was my tip of choice back then. I didn't use a...
