A trained monkey can drive a stink boat, care to go sailing?

It is so nice to be a newby and simply be thrilled to see all photos of sticks. (I will never understand that grey wash thing.)

The set screw moves freely. The color is modeling clay, ew. It seems to be 3/8x 16, shall I get one from Schmelke?

From and old AZ thread, it seems to be an old D series bumper.

Thanks, Yes it is a McDermott product, they did not want to refinish it for me, said they did not have a procedure. I wish I could look at another Balicini to see if they had bumpers. I love the idea of a butt cap because the stick needs some design element to brake up the uniformity of the...

Wouldn't you love to see a bell curve of Pro football player's IQs, where do you think the mean would fall... 85... 90? And of course it is the money people who play with...

I just came back from the dealer and they are going to come out and look at it and check the rail hop I mentioned in another thread. He says if you shoot hard the ball will bounce back and cause this. Of course we all occasionally bang one in but I play 14.1 and one pocket so between what I play...

My Legacy table with Legacy Speed Cloth. 4 months old. Installers said there was nearly enough cloth and had to stretch really hard. Now this. Is this a warranty claim? Standing at the head rail it is the left foot pocket which collects the majority of shots. (Does everyone favor a pocket?)

How do you feel about Bald Eagle feathers? I miss Ebony with grain, my cues are too cheap to have anything but "recon" everything.

It seems exacerbated by the new finish kick on linen as well. I prefer a larger butt and more course linen.
