I'm in the same camp at 79. I'm playing at about 75% of prime which was in the '80's. I have to wear glasses and shots I used to just stretch out to make now require the bridge. Back in the day I played every day now it's a couple times a week. I don't have the burning drive to compete anymore...

It has that low end Asian look to it. Which doesn't make it a bad cue.

Anyone remember a pretty good player named Rick Spurrier? He was from Cleveland and wound up in Denver.

A pro pool player is one that makes more money from pool than Pizza delivery.

3/8x14?

Think for the best ever straight pool player I would have put Mosconi/Greenleaf as a pick them. A lot of the old timers that saw Mosconi and Greenleaf in their prime's said Greenleaf was better, who knows now.

I watched Hayden Ernst on Billiards TV just recently, this kid is like a 700 Fargo and he can play.

Falcon and Joss made cues for Brunswick. The ones made by Joss have Joss on the butt cap so I'm thinking this cue is a Falcon.

Forum rules require a price be listed in the for sale section.

My cue repair guy replaced a damaged ferrule and installed a medium Cuesoul tip. I think a long time ago I tried this tip but can't remember. It seems to be ok but has anyone used this tip before? Pretty cheap at about $7 plus install.

As a teen I watched Colivita gamble with a player named Ernie Lager in the '60's. Ernie wasn't quite on Colavita's level, but he had money and loved the limelight of playing in front of a crowd.

I've been playing since 1961 and have seen 100's and 100's of players. Almost without exception a player reaches a certain level and stays there for life.

I live in Colorado and would play in a weekly league in Virginia, but I had to quit because the jet fuel for my private jet got too expensive.

I heard those numbers had something to do with internal production. My Lucasi has 7-11 on the butt just like the old pool room 7-11 in NYC, that I visited a few times in the 60's.

I saw several examples of his wrap work and it's excellant. This is a side gig/hobby for him not his main source of income, how many cue repair guys drive a late model Corvette?
