I think you can find pictures in Martin's book "The 99 Critical Shots in Pool."

I'm not a Hoppe expert but I've owned two and seen a bunch and this one doesn't look right to me. If it's real, it is the worst looking one I've ever seen.

McDermott GS cues have a 3/8x10 wood-to-wood joint and a solid maple shaft with a long traditional ferrule. This joint, shaft and ferrule combination is found on quite a lot of custom cues today. The GS comes with a lifetime warranty, a lifetime maintenance plan and for $328.00 you can have...

I respect Joe very much and applaud his achievements. To me he is the epitome of a cool guy.

Just for perspective here. I can honestly say I have never heard of or read of any customer service issues with respect to McDermott, Viking, Pechauer or Joss. Oh I'm sure somebody over the years has had a beef about something to do with each of those companies but in general their products and...

For the last thirty years people have been saying Meucci customer service is the worst. Then a few people say it's fine now, then many people say its terrible. Let's face it folks it's the worst customer service in the industry.

Professional pool players play with either Predator or Cuetec cues and only a few make good money. Snooker players play with $60 cues and some make millions.

I am an avid golfer and pool player with 60+ years of experience in each sport. Here is my opinion: golf club fitting is somewhat important for some people. Pool cue fitting is important for no one. Some cues may feel better to a particular person and some cues may feel not good, but that...

I am old school or at least old. Joss cue, wood shaft, no glove, blue Masters (until recently). After noticing how much chalk residue was left on my table from Masters chalk I switched to Taom and I think the chalk residue has been reduced by about 95%. Everything is so clean and of course it...

I play with a ten inch extension at the ready but sometimes still stretch awkwardly using it when I should more prudently go for the bridge so it’s a mixed blessing. I play with a Joss and an Amazon carbon fiber “ish” extension that comes with four different threaded butt adapters. I think it...

Not a problem for me and a break and run at the family Christmas party will keep you in family conversations for weeks.

IMO this fellow is making two mistakes: 1) quitting his job; and 2) trying to be a pro with his ability. I hope he can make a lot of dough on YouTube. If he is in Texas, I suggest he look up Keith Thompson and take a swim in his new pool.

I've had most kinds of production cues over the years and have settled on Joss. Old school designs, beautiful quality, reasonable prices.

If you are not factoring in deflection I believe any straight shaft will perform the same as far as point and shoot accuracy goes. Right pool hall physicists?

Besides being a great pool player and a funny one too you are a terrific example of what happens when a hardworking champion level pool player trades a life of pool for a solid job. Congrats on your new set up!
