From the 3cushionbilliards website: Five-time National Three-Cushion Champion Allen Gilbert was a colorful character, and a good friend and mentor as I learned the game. He told me dozens of anecdotes from his billiard travels around the world, but this one is my favorite. He recounted once how...

This is the worst thing to happen to subs since Jared.

I actually used a pitch gauge and it's 5/16 x 14.

Picked this up yesterday. Never seen one like it. 5/16x14 pin leads me to believe it's not Asian but maybe someone can help me out. Flat face joint with 5/15 x 14 brass pin and brass insert. Shaft has 18 growth rings per inch. Thanks!

I bought one just for the roller rest to stabilize the back of the shaft in my 7x12 mini lathe for tips and ferrules. Works fine for that. The whole system? Probably not so much,

Finally got around to taking a photo of the whole cue. There also this little extension with a rubber tip the screws on to the butt of the cue in place of the shaft. I've been around cues since the 70's and have never seen one of these. Any ideas?

It a plain wrapless maple forearm. Here's more of it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Z9gsiU9GccQzdRLVN5OW5Sc00/edit?usp=sharing

5/16 X 18 flat faced joint. Fit and finish lead me to believe it's not Asian but who knows? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Z9gsiU9GccM2t3M2JDN01FMXM/edit?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Z9gsiU9GccNGVsbkpMbWNJOVE/edit?usp=sharing...
