Cool looking cue (cept the wrap...I'd like to kick someone in the nuts for deciding on that wrap).

All that firepower is a double-edged sword. When you possess insane natural talent and shot making skills, it's probably difficult to make yourself grind, focus, and concentrate. I think this is one of Shaw's problems. Earl too.

Just the way we like um'!

All women should look exactly like her. Maybe just add some hair color variations.

Here's the other part to my estate sale find. There were two more cues I left there because they were shorter and didn't have the old Brunswick labels. I paid $30 for the whole group and left those two because I thought they were garbage. Then I found this on eBay (image below). Yup, those...

I assumed the holes on the butt end were for bumpers, but I looked closer and unless my eyes seen wrong, they don't have threads. They look to be straight formed (drilled) holes. I was wondering if that's the center hole used to hold them in the lathe. I expected to see rough threaded holes...

That's an idea I'll explore. So far I only have $30 invested in seven. I'm guessing the work to fix them up into good sneakies would be a few hundred each. Still might be worth it though.

I thought about that too. If they were to be taken down, could they be taken down all at once? I can't imagine any moisture left in that wood.

Thanks

I bought these old Brunswick cues at an estate sale this weekend. Shockingly, they are reasonably straight. The problem is a few are missing ferrules and a few ferrules are cracked. So, Are they worth getting repaired for cool old house cues? If so, should I also have them cleaned up? How...

My potting improves with a longer cue. It's a noticeable difference.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Nominations for post of the year.

Not only am I unsure what ball I m supposed to look at last, I don't even know what ball I do look at last. My game may be screwed up even worse now that I'll be thinking about it. Thanks.

"Soft hands" is a tennis expression. John McEnroe was famous for having soft hands. It just means good control and "feel" for delicate shots.

He's a talented guy that's capable of beating anyone if he's dialed in. Still, I agree the final 16 is a good showing for him.
