list all, be willing to sell separately.

House cues. Accidents happen.

I just checked what shipping on a cube of chalk would be, USPS, to me, all in USA. $5.06. Something is wrong with $36 shipping.

glad I'm not in the mail order biz. going to be hard sell stuff at those shipping prices. Feel sorry for them.

Howard Berger CTE video on YouTube

Howard Berger - AZ handle Blitzface. His videos are on YouTube under Howard Berger. They are short, well thought out, easy to follow. Watch the more recent ones from the last couple months. Good Luck and have fun with it.

thank you, ordered one

I've spent months and countless hours trying to get CTE from Stan's videos, took a couple lessons from a "certified CTE" teacher. Zip, Nada. I watch Blitzfaces's video and in 17 minutes I get it and am making balls with ease. Why torch the guy, he explained the previously unexplainable :-). Stan...

what brand do you like from England please ?

we aren't talking big bucks here, I use Masters and when worn down, just put 'em in the bin, insert a new one.

I don't think the other option for mid to low level pro players would be running a bank.

The only sneaky pete that looks like a house cue is a house cue. Nobody that can play is fooled by "sneaky petes". If you want to look like you don't know what you are doing get a purple Cuetec or gaudy Walmart cue. And after a rack or two you aren't fooling anybody :)

Predator, Cuetec, Mezz and others make cues as good or better than 95% of the customs. They are available now, without drama, stalls, delays and fraud. And CF came along. I wouldn't do the custom cue thing for all the tea in China :)

on a lighter note, Predator customer service is like jumbo shrimp. Oxymoron perhaps :-)

Unless you have super cheap rent and lots of folks around with some money it's hard. Of two rooms I know of that are doing great, one makes it all on the bar biz and the other is in a college/tourist town and is just a great place to be in.
