The tightest side pockets of all time! This side of Heyball.

To each their own.

I wasn't talking about Scott, JJ or Tony. I like all three of them, maybe Scott the best. It was the two foreign voices that were not always that easy to understand and they lacked the deep knowledge of the best coms, guessing a lot and missing some obvious shots and safeties. They weren't so...

Switched over to the PLP being played in Florida. Big difference, starting with the gray cloth, not nearly so pleasing to the eye as the blue cloth used in the Predator event. The commentary was amateurish by comparison as well, and 9-Ball is boring after watching a good Ten Ball match. The...

Watching Patsura vs. Kuriansky now. Once again good camera work (thnx to director Vincent R.) and decent commentary along with a good referee, makes for a good show. They use the overhead a lot but it is used wisely, not so it's distracting. I got spoiled listening to John S. and Erik H. doing...

Sorry I thought they were the same event. I was talking about the Vegas event, not the one in Florida.

They said 4 1/2" sides and 4 1/8" corners. Triple tough!

I'm watching Patsura vs. Lechner now on Youtube. First round and two great players matching up. I happen to enjoy the commentary of J. Schmidt and Erik H. from Canada. They stick to the match and know their stuff. I like their clear voices and the humble way they talk about themselves. They both...

Shipping has become quite expensive these days. I do have a batch of posters left. I'd send you a bunch of them (ten, twelve or more good ones) for $100. I'll pay the shipping.

Still here, but we are preparing to relocate later this year. In the process of buying a new home there, with room for a pool table!

Thank you Steve. I've always considered you a friend and don't hold anything against you for the comments you've made here. Very true that you didn't witness any of the sequence of events surrounding this transaction. I did and commented on them and the buyer who also has posted on AZB remains...

Not so. I just want to out him for his failure to take any responsibility for the damage done to the cue in the way he packed and shipped a beautiful and expensive cue back to me. His failure to even communicate kind of sealed the deal for me and caused me to post about this experience.

You left out the most important part Steve. The cue was seriously damaged between the time Yates received it and it got back to me. I got back damaged goods! You wouldn't like it either if that happened to you.

It did not arrive to him with the damage shown here. It arrived in near perfect condition I thought I had posted this on here earlier but I guess not. Pls check out my thread Sigel Cue for sale from January of this year. You will see on there pics of the cue as it was when it was sent to Yates...

He did contact me and sent me the attached video. Look carefully for the so called "scuff" marks. He told me at that time he was filing a complaint with Paypal and requesting a full refund. These minute marks have absolutely nothing to do with the subsequent damage done to the cue. The hinges...
