I'm currently having a cue made for me in New Zealand. It's going to be a 3/4 butt cue with 2 shafts, one a UK 8ball shaft of 8.5mm (brass ferrule) made out of REWAREWA (Knightia excelsa), and a 11.5mm 9ball euro taper shaft (fibre ferrule) made out of TAWA (Beilschmiedia-tawa) You can see these...

QUOTE=Bob Jewett ......... I assume that with 16 players on one table and double elimination, you are playing a single game of nine ball for each match. That would be a total of about 32 games.........QUOTE I was aiming at best of 3, with the last game best of 5. I feel that with a 8pm start...

I'm not sure if you know of UK 8Ball, it's played with 2" balls on a 7' table with snooker cut tight pockets. Most players have cues with 8.5mm or less tips to get the most ball movement. These cues CAN't be used with 2.25" balls, as they are just too fragile in the tip and ferrule for long term...

I live in Ballarat Australia, and have fallen in love with 9Ball:) . My local pool hall put in a Brunswick table to test the waters, but the owners didn't do anything to promote the game. The problem is that UK 8Ball rules in our area, and with no incentive to the local players, they aren't...

I'm quite interested in both cue and case. Would you be willing to ship to Australia? Also do you accept PayPal? You can check my ebay rating as well (feemary :) ) Also to confirm, it's a wrapless cue? Daniel:D

Over 10 3 9Ball, Audrick, Lucasi and a Jump/break (I'm saving up for a Dominiak) 3 Snooker, Peradon, Wilson-Hunt and a old Riley (a Mike Woolridge is on order) 7 snooker cues being prepped for sale (always varies between 3 and 10) (+ a couple more my wife doesn't know about;) ) Daniel:D

For playability I put down a Tascarella , but for a cue as a work of art, I love Rick Chudy's cues Daniel:D

Sounds Amazing!! Anyone got some video of this cue in action? Daniel:D

I've got my money back! :D A Full refund has been given to me via PayPal for the fake Parris cue I was sold:D Still not sure if using PayPal's insurance against fakes/no shows is the best way to go, or if using your CC is after reading the other posts. Now that it's been resolved, I can go...

Have now received the cue, and it is a fake, confirmed by John Parris himself. Have started the dispute process through Paypal, and will let you know of any problems I have with them. The process takes over 20 days:( Daniel:D

I'm got an Ebay situation happening right now. I have bought a John Parris snooker cue from a guy in the UK, and as there are some fakes in circulation, I took Pay Pals option of using my bank account and receiving $3000AUS of protection if the item received is not as described in the auction...

Love the cue PM Sent, love the cue. Daniel:)

Have Updated the thread to include all cues to this point. I will try to include some of the suggestions in future posts, if time and computer ability allow. Daniel:D

Sorry to say I'm a bit of a ludite when it comes to programs and massaging the data. I only have Works on my computer, and when I tried to do a bar graph, the results were less than pleasing. Feel free to keep updating with a bargraph Gutshot, as I agree that it is good to the eye. Daniel:D

I've played with a couple of different Lucasi cues since I got my LSS 3, and they all felt very similar (and good:) ). If you decide to get a LE40, check out Nielsens Billiards on Ebay (http://stores.ebay.com/Nielsens-Billiards_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm). He doesn't have one...
