    Butterfly cue

    The best has gone from our lives... [/COLOR]My vote goes to a too soon gone, Paul Fanelli. I could not believe it when I found out he passed away, but Paul Fanelli was probably the most inventive when it came to figuring out new ways to build butterfly cues. I am still stunned when I think...

    Schon Cues

    Runde Schon... When I was living in Milwaukee before moving to New Jersey in 1987, I used to work at Romine's original location on Wisconsin Avenue. Schon cues was started right there in the back room of the second floor pool room. Boy was that a space to see! Not knowing what I have learned...

    Just In....Ebony Titlist

    Really great looking Titlist! This cue is an awesome example of how a Titlist can come out! Just would be a little worried that it has no protection without a bumper on it, I'm guessing you don't lose your temper when you play?

    I got a wedgie from Jerry Rauenzahn. Ouch!!!!!!!!

    Nice cues! Like another poster said, I also believe the wedge was supposed to allow the shooter to keep the cue lined up the same way when shooting. Something to do with keeping the cue's spine oriented the same way for each shot, was how I understand it.

    one of one***Mind Mangling**** Mike Cochran

    Really great looking cue! This is another fine example of the work that comes out of the Scruggs/Cochran shop. Seeing that Tim has slowed down a little since his heart trouble, I guess Mike has gone the extra mile to pick up the slack...

    APA CHEATING ON THE SCORE SHEET- what to do?

    APA honest????? APA leagues can be fun, but it's way too easy to fudge the scoresheets. Too many people who are new to league play have no idea what they are watching, IF they are watching. When I played in the first APA in Northern New Jersey, over ten years ago, most of the teams had no...

    Analysis of John Morra's Break Technique

    John's break... Funny that another post said exactly what I was thinking when seeing John's break. When watching the WPBA this weekend on ESPN, they did a little piece on the breaks of the women playing and showed slow motion clips of their breaking styles. Seeing John's break was remarkably...

    What is the best playing cue you own?

    Best cue? I wish the cue I had stolen from me was still in my possesion, it was a one of a kind Schon that Bob Runde made for me when he was still part of Schon cues. He made it exactly the way i asked him too, which was to duplicate the sneaky/hustler that I was playing with at the time. I do...
