I have been wondering if Bucktooth is still with us? I met him once at a small pool hall in Gilroy.

Stevie was a well loved player in the Denver pool scene. Died young and unexpectedly. Piazzas has had several tournaments dedicated to Stevie since his passing. It’s been a big success.

I had some great times on creeks. Crazy fun.

I think I will practice that. Not the shot...rather sliding the sword into the sheath. Badass.

Probably not much. But maybe, for a conversion cue. :giggle:

I bid on a junk Asian cue that caught my eye. Should arrive on Wednesday, came with a junk Asian case. Both cue and case looked to be in good condition. I hope it is straightish ;)

It happened to me about three months ago. I started getting nervous when playing guys a tick or two below me. I still play strong on the practice table but when competing, something has got into my head. I believe I am working my way out of it slowly but not sure. I have never suffered nerves...

I had a house cue in the college rec center that I loved. After graduation I grabbed it and used it at my place of employment for 30 years(yes we had a table in the break room). I finally brought it to my sons house in Chicago. I still play that cue when I visit him, and have since 1982.

I hope today is fantastic for you Bob. Happy birthday!!!

It has charitaristics of Mahogany, the brown stripe is interesting. There are a few woods from Africa that are close to Mahogany in color and grain. Sapele will have darker streaks in it sometimes.

I would say, if it is straight then it would be worth the $150. I love curly Maple in cues but unless cored, it can warp a bit. Not always though. I like it.
