Good day all, This isn't advertising a tourney....looking for one. Anyone know of a 9-ball tournament in OKC this weekend? If you do thoughts on it? Thanks all, Mattie

Good day all.... Having a conversation with a player cue collector friend of mine and I can't remember a particular makers name. He started off making one off cues and selling them in the 1-2k range, then changed his business model and started selling dozens on Ebay. I know his switch angered...

Doc, Thanks again for the information you sent me and I'm glad it's getting discussed at such length here, looks like some people are getting information that may help them going forward. Sorry it's caused you more "work" clarifying some of the info that's been presented here. You're...

I forgot to add...there's a few things you don't do. You don't pull on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger. And when it comes to physics and math as it relates to pool you don't mess around with David G. Alciatore, PhD.

E=MC^2 is short for Energy = Mass accelerated to the speed of light squared. If you can break at the speed of light squared I'm legitimately scared of you. Perhaps you're thinking F=M*A, which is force equals mass times acceleration.

I bought the cloth off of him for $350 if memory serves....it was almost the same amount that I could find it online. He did the rails and had his wife Eva with him. The particle board underneath the slate was in kind of rough shape and fixed that all up. Not sure what he would have charged...

Have you thought about removable shims? I use them for a couple hours before a tourney or big game. You can buy different sizes then you can have your proverbial cake and eat it too. Buddy's come over you can take them out, when you're getting dialed in slap them in. Just my $.02 Mattie

I live in Wichita and had Jack Shurtz of Shurtz Custom Cues come and cover my table with 860 and he charged me "friend" price of $300. I would say $350 is reasonable for a good mechanic. If it's a guy that works for your local store that sells tables, and bars and maybe even hot tubs, I'd...

Good day all, I've been recently trying to calculate mathematically which are better, phenolic tip vs. leather and light cue vs. heavy cue. After failing to come up with the right equations on my own I reached out to Dr. Dave, Colorado State University's resident pool math expert...

One last bump hoping 3rd time is the charm...don't want to go to that auction site, just may have too. I'd much rather see them go somewhere that they'd be appreciated. Look at me like I'm trying to sell my favorite puppy. :) Thanks all !! Mattie

I've heard for many years Fats said this but can't say for certain, but I always liked it... "Give me a broomstick with a good tip on it, not only will I take all your money but I'll sweep up the joint when I'm done." Oh, then there's the one in my signature.

Bump - and I'll throw in a Delta 13 rack NIB and keep the price and shipping the same.

wow...felt accurate but I didn't realize it was that close...thank you sir. Good information.

Hey Troy, I bought one of these several years ago and looks like you're still selling them. What's the price on them? I'm thinking about getting another. Thank you sir. Mattie

I have a set of Brunswick Centennials for sale. $220 with free USPS shipping (Within ConUS). I'll have them professionally cleaned at the pool hall before I ship. This is the lowest I'm able to go and I may be open to trades for a cue, just depends on the cue. Thanks for looking and I look...
