The Numero Uno Factor when it comes to choosing a shaft: does it feel good and inspire confidence. Lou Figueroa that's it

If Earl has his shee-at together he can beat just about anyone. Lou Figueroa and make it look easy

Played some 3C with Stu in Vegas several years back, he can probably give you sumthin', Jay -- Stu can play. Lou Figueroa

$10K for that cue is... nuts. I believe you were correct putting it $3-4K. Lou Figueroa

Definitely worth something to the right collector. Clearly, from the logo, it's a second generation Gina, sometime after 1988 -- the first generation had Ginacue spelled out one way or the other. It also does appear to have been used a fair amount though the wrap looks to be in pretty good...

IF the cue feels good in your hands, and you like the weight, taper, and the tip is giving you decent traction... you can make it work. Howevar, I don't believe it's all necessarily automatic. IMO, the rest aside, the most critical issue is the balance of the cue and how that helps or hinders...

Stuff for your walls: old movie and tournament posters come to mind. Lou Figueroa get the good stuff

I think many of us have funny little things we do assist our play, but I think it can get out of hand. Not too long along I was practicing and a guy came in, took the table next to me, and soon thereafter his instructor came in. I'm trying to mind my own beeswax but then the guy starts to...

84 is no joke -- congrats! Lou Figueroa

I'm at 20/20 on the standard wall vision test. I'm good from about two to three feet out -- I need readers though for anything up close. Lou Figueroa

Got these a few years ago — they are the nuts for playing pool. https://iolreference.com/lens/jj/tecnis-eyhance/ Went from 400 vision and needing contacts to 20/20 in my right and 20/25 in my left. I think they cost me $2K extra per eyeball but totally worth it. BTW, it also matters who...

Ugly, inelegant, and not carrying that around. Lou Figueroa not putting that on a nice cue

Had several cues built for me over the years including a Meucci, McDermot, Richard Black, a couple of Ginas, a Sheldon three-piece, and a John Davis/PFD blank conversion. Only the PFD was fitted for an extension and not too long ago I bought a used Shelby, also fitted for an extension...

Yours is an admirable stance but not life's reality. Lou Figueroa
