I used to have a Franklin Southwest made out of Pau Fero. Not a very good looking wood. It was just brown and mostly straight grained.

Here's one that is guaranteed to speed up play. You are allowed to chalk the cue one time only between shots. I have seen Dennis O pick up, chalk and put it down again 20 times between shots. :) He'll pickup and chalk, put it down and you think he's going to shoot. Nope then he'll pick it...

I have bought from J&J a couple of times. Even met them at SBE. I would buy from them again.

I went to Super Billiards Expo twice to buy a cue and didn't get one. The first one was pre-covid and was nice. The post covid one was lame! I will never go back. I am looking for somewhere else to go. The last one I went to had limited selection and they wanted stupid money for...

I tried counting three times.

Holiday inn by the mall. There's a Hooters in the parking lot plus other restaurants nearby. Stayed there twice.

You can place orders with any of them. Who knows you might actually get a cue some day. It will certainly not be what you ordered or something will be screwed up with it. I’ll never do it again. If the cue is not on the table in front of me for get it.

It is definitely gone.

I have been doing my own tips for many years. Today I ran across something I have never seen before. There is a sizable hole in the end of my ferrule. My first thought is to fill it with glue and go on but I thought I would ask you guys first. Superglue gel, epoxy or just leave it?

Crap. I like the wavy joint but they only had united when I bought mine. I really like the custom balancing and the hit is fine. I sam thinking about putting a stack leather wrap on it.

I just bought a 9 ft ProAm. $8500. Before I did that, I called Brian Miller at Diamond to ask him about deals at the SBE and he said demand is so high they don't offer tournament discounts anymore. The backlog is one year. The local Diamond dealer here in Florida, Crosbys, told me they...
