I could get shafts and the Southwest refinished by a top cuemaker and you could never tell who did it. If I told you it was Southwest you would never be able to tell the difference.

I have owned Corvettes all my life. I have heard "the owner bought it before going to Vietnam" story a million times. The one on pool cues is folks from NY moved to Florida when they retired and the Balabushka got sold for nothing at an estate sale after their death. My opinion is maybe...

Meucci made a sticker cues years ago. When I brought it up, Meucci collectors and fans wanted to set me on fire. MO-11 was a sticker, and the Gambler was another. Ken

I disagree with the "patina" argument. Unless it is really a desirable rare cue, (Gus, Bushka, etc), I would recommend refinishing the cue. I have heard guys stay the same thing about Meucci cues......guys they arent rare. Just so you know, the Bushka cue I got was rougher than 2 nights in...

Buddy Hall always said that to me. Alot of folks think Buddy was tops but he said it was Lassiter.

That would be a bad bet..... BSEE MBA Ken

Lou - Right as usual. The trap that really good players try to offer a big spot to entice a weaker player. A strong player that often gives up a spot is offered a spot is hooked. I played in the same poolroom with Buddy Hall, and he gave spots to alot of great players (including JAM's...

Tascarellas are always great, but that Schick is the next level. Very nice pickups! Ken

Very cool ..... strange, but very cool. Ken

Too much time arguing about handicap levels and too little time practicing.....

If you price it right, it will sell. I find deals all the time. What I do that most people wont, is I buy desirable items that need shaft(s) or a refinish or other work. I send them to a top knotch cue maker (friend) to have the work done. When finished, I get a heavily discounted cue...
