Yes. I set up a table in Chicago and used Penguin rails. It made a huge difference. The folks at Penguin were very easy to work with and the rails came dressed with Simonis cloth. Between new table cloth and new rails along with tightening the corner bolts the table was way better.

I would guess a 70's cue. Possibly refinished as many had a decal on the butt sleeve. The bumper may have bonded with the finish. Braz, BRW are shortcuts for Brazilian Rosewood. You can no longer get it due to how endangered it is. That wood was highly prized, you might say "it doesn't grow on...

Certainly does look like Rich Merry Widow. Rich did have a decent supply of BRW.

Interesting. I have ordered two cues from them this year. The last one was just a month ago and their website, although antiquated worked fine. David will also answer the phone and is great at responding on email.

I make a few. I bet I’m not on the list. Like my cues, my business is small. 🤓

I like your chances. At least of having a good time. I am three months away from retiring, I would love to have your freedom of going to events like this let alone competing. Three months is not so different than three hours, play well Lou!

Piazza's is a hangout for a lot of players who have been around each other for years. It is a cool spot and yes it is the #1 Italian restaurant in Aurora. I am a big table guy but I play on the 7 fters more frequently now. Piazza's is also active on live streams and has some great tourneys. They...

How bout ball chalk? Before the break you put a tip sized spot of chalk on the cue ball and position it at the tips point of impact. After the break the Ref (if its a tournament) marks the cue ball, picks it up and wipes it down, hands it to the shooter. Shooter re-applies the dot and the Ref...

It is interesting, Like yourself I have spent years collecting pictures, articles and information on rare, and vintage cues. Lots of info saved on two computers that are not being used now. Both will still fire up but I need to find the time to save that material. Retirement is just around the...
