As all of us has met a ton of characters over the years. These two one-liners came from my cousin who was a solid pool player but wasnt near shortstop level. It didnt matter what tournament he played in, even if he went 2 and out, when asked how he finished, he would always reply, "I was one...

I dont get it. Going to London this year so I need learn this. Ken

As seen below, I have several cues that have quite a bit of value....I didnt buy them because they were expensive, I bought them because I wanted them. My player cue is a 57" Gus Hoppe cue. My two daughters (in their 30's) have all expressed wanting to inherit the guns, coins, cars, etc...

I asked Buddy Hall (considered best 9 baller of all time) who the best 9 ball player he ever saw and he said it was Lassiter. Pool players hardly ever say anything good about another pool player, but it was Buddy had ALOT of respect for Lassiter. Ken

I have bought and sold at least 300 cues. Usually there are no universal thoughts, but with two makers of cues this seems to be common. Someone buys a Schon and loves it but eventually sells it and regrets it forever. I have buddys that bitch and moan about what a mistake it was to let one...

Hopefully this comes out right, but probably not. I think this is a great looking cue, and that folks could have this cue for the same price as what people are paying for Meucci, or Predator cues. IMO crazy to buy a production cue. Checkers sell more than chess I suppose. Ken

I had to replace the forearm as the orignal forearm was warped. So while it has titlist colored veneers, it is not an actual titlist forearm. Ken

I just got this back from Scot at Proficient Billiards......As usual he did a great job. This model is my favorite Palmer, with the titlist points. In the gold foil window it says "Teddy Bear Original by Palmer"

Ronnie Wiseman.....very good player but never a premier player. Great players that never won a US Open, or DCC event.

Thanks for sharing.

My respect for Truman was top notch when I saw how he interacted with my friend Skyler Woodward. Great sense of humor and really a class act for the youngster. RIP Truman

I wish cues like yours could go somewhere where it could be seen in person by all of us. Nice cue my friend.

Guys - I got an old cue that is wraped like nobodies business. I need a replacement titlist forearm, dont need anything else. Ken

I got a Rich cue pretty cheap and sent it to Rick Howard to make a new shaft for it....... I smile everytime I play with it. I probably will give it to one of my grandsons as a starter cue. For those folks that might pick up one of these cues with a crappy shaft, I recommend talking to...

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.
