Worst cue was a Meucci I bought in about 1985 or so. The cue played great, but the ferrule cracked and it warped with in 6 months and I never let it get too hot or cold. Another poster complained about a Schmelke cue being terrible, my Schmelke is perfect.

Irving Crane 141 balls early '60's in Elizabeth N.J. and it was not West End. The longest run against me was by Neptune Joe Frady (RIP). He was playing me 100 to 80. He broke and I ran 53 balls and missed. He ran 100 and out.

he dropped 16 not 26.

I would put cloth on the table not felt.

There is no such thing as a hand made cue. They are all made using machines.

West Germany was before the reunification of the two Germanies in 1990. So the cue was made prior to 1990.

Middle cue has a pin in shaft, Spain give away.

It's cloth, not felt.

A friend of mine got a set of balls for Xmas. This saturday he forgot to bring them to the room.So the question is can he leave them in the car 24/7 with temperatures here in Colorado getting down well below freezing at times. Will very cold balls shatter when hit hard?

In my opening post I said installed. The layered tip was $40 installed vs a solid tip at $23 installed.
