    WTB Ebony 3/8 x 14 JPs

    I appreciate the reference. Nice to know for a backup. I just like the way cues looks when they have matching JPs. Adds a nice touch.

    How to contact Mike Bender

    Thanks for the comments. I was able to get Mike's contact information and he answered my email. Sounded like a stand up guy and let's be honest, mistakes happen. I should have probably started to sort this out awhile ago, so it's my fault too.

    How to contact Mike Bender

    Well it has been 5 years since my deposit was cashed by Mike in Alaska. No cue, No contact, No timeline, No nothing. Tried calling the 907 number on the website and it is disconnected. Anyone deal with Mike lately or do I just call the police in Delta Junction? Check was sent on Aug 6th...

    Why does USA keep bringing back proven Mosconi losers?

    I've been on FB saying the same thing. He is a great player, will go down as one of the goats. He just can't play the team event for whatever reason. Statistically it is not a hump, a drought, a bad day, etc etc etc. There is nothing wrong admitting that a certain game/tournament just isn't...

    Matchroom -- PLEASE Use Jeremy Jones for Commentary Next Year.

    Jay you gained a great deal of respect from me on day 3. How you didnt have a knee jerk reaction when shane missed that 8, took a great deal of composure. I have no doubt in my mind, if im in that spot I instinctively say "you gotta be ****ing kidding me" Thats no knock on any one, just a...

    Matchroom -- PLEASE Use Jeremy Jones for Commentary Next Year.

    To hit it, I agree. You implied to make it and your tone was as if they should just rake the balls and concede the game. Mention my knowledge all you like, he is not 50/50 to make the ball on day one, on the TV table at the Mosconi Cup, with 4.25" pockets.

    Matchroom -- PLEASE Use Jeremy Jones for Commentary Next Year.

    I think it should be Dilberto and Jay. That will really drive the ratings up..... Favorite moment: Van Den Berg kicking full table one rail at an object ball a diamond up and frozen on rail. Announcer: "Nick is 50/50 from here" Me : "wtf did he just say!?!?!?" "Hey Dilberto Jr., take it easy"

    Customer Butt Extension Maker

    Is anyone making custom extensions to match the cue? Looking to order one that matches my Bender. Preferably one that screws into a replaceable butt cap. A matching forearm and joint like Mr. Nevel's would be fine too. I'm fully aware that I could contact Bender, but I would prefer not...

    roll call...only those that have been here 10+ years.

    Just hit my 10 year. Time sure does go fast and seems to pick up speed the older you get.

    Going outside you comfort zone

    I adopted the same strategy. I use to play 7 ahead, now i do a race to 5. Another trick I use for not getting lazy: Play Fargo or 8 ball with a two rail minimum requirement. Why: Shooting too many soft easy shots will get your fundamentals out of whack. If you are hitting balls sporty and...
