I used to break with a 57" Joss West some of the guys referred to as "da booma" Owned a couple cues that the builders thought to name... never came up with anything myself though.

Free stroking is my answer. Methodical may win more games...it may leave the player with fewer regrets and missed opportunities... but having tasted a set or two of dead stroke when in free stroke, I find there is no high in life to rival it. I'm not much of a player...never was nor do I...

Booths are $1100 if bought early, and $1300 if bought closer to the show date. Each booth comes with 4 expo passes. No pro event passes. To my thinking, Allen has always been fair. All told, my nut as a vendor is about 4K when adding booths, hotel and travel expenses. Some years I make a...

I break from the right side with a tip of inside English. Speed is soft enough for the cue to begin curving before it hits the 2nd ball flat. Ironically, my best breaks are when I aim to split the 1st and 2nd balls. BBB may be right that chipping the head ball is bad, but I always aimed to...

I have owned 6 or 7 of Richard's cue. At this point, all I have left is the SNAP box cue which is one of his more known creations. I've referred to him as the great eclectic. Black draws inspiration from all around him and may be the most creative cue designer of his time. Hall of Fame...

Reminds me a bit of Verl Horn with the generous use of ivory and the bold stitches. Chris makes a badass cue! Enjoy

I enjoyed seeing these cues Mash. As I noted at SBE, your finish work is very impressive. Best of luck converting passion into functional art.

Multiple games to hone multiple dimensions of the player's skill set...I couldn't agree more. In the past 7 years, I have worked on my 3-cushion game. Bank patterns are key when breaking an opponent's safety in say 9 or 10 ball. Efren has earned his name "the magician" but it becomes a true...

Chudy makes a magnificent player. I bought this one as an investment (his 1st box cue) but made it a personal player. It was one of the few available at SBE this year.

These EDC's are everything one might expect given their elite origins. They bring a second level of interest however...the passion of a patriot. It was great to meet Jules and to examine many of these cues in close detail. They are certain to be hot...great veneer work, finish and...

Tap Tap Tap Great to see so many friends and so many monster cues. Thanks Allen

Eddy Gregory Top player in New England who always made time for a nobody like me. He was a mentor and friend. RIP Harry (Joshua) Garfinkle A generation before Eddy Proved age is no excuse...or impediment Guys like Harry were the reason I played every day year after year

Absolute classic look from Andy. It doesn't get any better than that.

Marlin Minalo His play was utterly dominant in the King of the Hill 8 ball tourney held in Orlando. Kind, humble and an absolute monster on the greens. That is a game I miss.
