You can start with these. Dude was unique to say the least. https://www.youtube.com/@Deekamon

Even CNC points can be uneven. If the cue is turned even slightly off center after the points are glued in, they will be uneven. CNC does not automatically equate to rounded tipped "inlaid" points. Dude, do yourself a favor and go watch some cue making videos on YouTube. Studiotronics...

Bob's work is killer. He has some great cue building YouTube videos, too.

What elements of the cue do you think attribute it to Rocky? By the way, I'm in no way saying you're wrong and/or it's not a Tillis. It just like to hear what people see so I can learn from it.

You're correct that a well made cue's butt is less of a factor in how a cue plays than the shaft. But it absolutely does make a difference in the overall feel and hit of cue. I took in a nice Auerback wrapless cocobolo and birdseye cue as a part of a trade package years ago. It's very nice...

To an extent, yes. But business growth is tricky. It's difficult to scale supply while maintaining quality. I deal with it every day and I work in a freaking sticker factory. For instance, lets say Predator wanted to increase their production by 10%. That means all of their suppliers would...

The forearm looks like a variation of an SL17. The rest of the cue doesn't fit anything from their catalog of that era, though.

It's not. But you should have to buy everyone a drink.

That's a deep cut, right there. Haven't heard or thought about that in many moons.

That's a beautiful case. You guys knocked the Aztec theme out of the park.

It's crazy how many people "slip and fall" onto objects. 😂

Hey, man, I'm not usually one for semantics, but... It's called a "bumper." A "butt plug" is an entirely different thing. Although, as they say, anything can be a butt plug if you're brave enough. 😂

There are definitely some good books out there. But, in my humble opinion, video is where it's at. Look up Accu Stats on YouTube. Watch the videos, and just as important, listen to the commentary. You'll see the game played at it's highest level and commented on by some of the best to ever...
