I prefer leather over linen. Have had cues converted by local business, and I am pleased with their work. Having said that, I have friend with a Meucci looking to have similar work done. His cue looks to have linen wrap, but it has clear coat finish over the entire butt. Actually, you don’t even...

Jim’s Steakhouse in Bloomington. One of the best steakhouses in Illinois…

Not sure if this has been covered before, if so then I apologize. I have played 60 years and with internet, watched cue sports for hours. Recently watched the first Masters 9 Ball Championship dated April 2001. Reyes and Strickland playing in final. It’s a race to 13 but my attention was...

Like many of you, a 147 from the break is not impossibl, just very improbable. One thing I’ve wondered about is what is the lowest recorded score with a table run. I assume if perfectly played, 72 would be the target. 15 reds, 15 yellows, and then the colors would make this total. I also believe...

I don't play league, but it has to be a foul. I can't think of any cue game where it would be allowed. My question is, what have you got to gain by doing so? You already have BIH. What more are you looking for?

Thanks

I have used waxes often. With multiple shafts, some are waxed and some not. I find the waxed shaft works better in winter. Hot, humid weather is the culprit. I'm curious as to what brand of wax you are using.

The frame I saw was either 6 or 7 and the score 0 - 0. M Allen accidently strikes blue ball, moves pink and reds, and scratches. This gave ROS 5 pts with ball in hand. No reds up table with one along long side rail, tough shot. More than likely next play would have been a safety.

i guess it depends on whether you want to play offense or defense. Defense is the move everyone says of putting cb up table either frozen on the 5 or the rail. I see 2 other offensive plays 1) bank 15 long rail to opposite corner with low left. 3 rail shape on either ball and your out. 2) Top...

Like many others, I agree they are the best ever in their respective venues. Snooker is basically one game with both offense and defense mixed together. ROS is the GOAT on these tables. The other cues games, from rotation, banks, one pocket, you-name-it have various nuances within themselves. If...

My perception is MW is doing what he thinks best (within the rules) to play safe vs his opponent. Countless games have been won with a pot following the standard break. In any cue game, you name it, if you give your opponent a 'free' 2-way shot, they will make it often. With world class talent...

Thanks for your response. My intent was for the talent and ability to pocket the reds and colors one at a time, much like normal. I understand multiple reds may be made in one shot thereby reducing total run points. I am confused by one thing. If all reds are made in a single shot, wouldn’t your...

With all the shots, frames, and matches recorded over time, we have seen almost everything. Century breaks and 147's that were amazing. I am curious as to what the lowest score ever posted to a table run. I suppose 15 reds plus 15 yellows and remaining colors would total 72 points. The exact...

It really doesn't matter, but I am curious. What was the price listed in the catalog? I had Adams, McDermotts and others and thinking anywhere from $100 to $200 would buy about anything on the market.

Thanks. I will let him know.
