Love it. That is the model I had as well.

Thank you for that info - not sure why it was so hard to find when I was I looking. I figured for the price and being a decal cue it was going to be made in China, but having used them in the past I figured they were less risky. Yes, I know Viking and McDermott have some nice Chinese made...

My first cue was one of those carved wood cues where the butt came apart and had a couple of washers around each joint - I think it was around $20 at Kmart, Sears, or whatever big box sports stores were around at that time. You know, the ones you see on ebay now that say "vintage" and try to...

Recently ordered a new Dufferin cue from a home furnishing website - they really do have just what I need! :cool: Was a bit thrown off when it was advertised as Brunswick Dufferin. I did a couple of searches but couldn't find anything to suggest that there is any connection between Dufferin...

I always like Earl and his temper. I think I always considered him like the John McEnroe of the pool world - used to love when McEnroe had his moments. He's human and it's good to see that side......sometimes.

How about 19 years? I actually found this thread interesting. I had a Cuetec back in the early 90s - and I believe it was the Earl series . Hated that sticky shaft. That was back in the day when wearing a glove to play pool was a good way to get yourself laughed out of the pool hall. I...

Judging from the number of times I was spanked as a young buck, I thought that 50+ was when pool players got good. :ROFLMAO:

Started playing in the early 90s. Basically lived in the pool hall during college. Never really got much better than a gatekeeper type of player - good enough to run a few balls, but always managed to choke on the money ball. Never really got into playing for money, but if we did go out...

As someone mentioned, it's hard to keep those joints clean. My first sneaky pete was a Meucci. I managed to mess that up pretty bad by sanding down the joint area. Don't remember if I sold it or if I broke it with one of those quick "taps" to the table after missing a shot. :rolleyes...

Even if you don't decide to sell, please feel free to share pics of the collection with the rest of us. I haven't really heard Parrot mentioned since one of my buddies had one made a little over 30 years ago......he was a grad student making like $40k and the rest of us were pretty amazed when...

Doing a little pre-spring cleaning and found my cue in the back of the closet. Picked this up at the 1995 BCA. Nothing fancy - was never a big fan of points and inlays. Have seen some really beautiful work, but for some reason have always just appreciated the clean look of stained wood. Not...
