    Dale Perry.... Is he shutting down?

    I probably bought 35-40 DP cues on eBay over the years. No complaints. For years, I experimented with different exotic woods and buying DP cues allowed me to experiment inexpensively. I played exclusively with DP cues for several years. I sold or traded all but this one: Ebony, Tulipwood &...

    How do Jim Pierce cues hit?

    Pierce Cues... hit. I have test hit dozens of Jim's cues over the years and they were all outstanding. I was fortunate to be playing out of the same pool room when Jim began. My personal Jim Pierce cue is a 4 point classic (tuxedo) Hoppe cue with two bowling alley shafts and ultraskin tips...
