I have way too many cues and cases. Ariel Carmeli, Lambros, Pierce...and shafts. OB, Predator, not sure what to do with any of this stuff.

Sigel has done well.

Never used a glove until I tried a Taom glove. Love it. Now I can't play without it.

It is nice. I played a lot Monday. It is nice being able to to basement and play as much as I want.

I had the fortune of playing in one of Sigel's rooms in Maryland during the 80's. Mike would come in to practice and I would be mesmerized. Met Nick Varner quite a few times and always enjoyed watching him play 14.1. A master.

I first met Nick in 1981 when I started to play. He did an exhibition at The U and played my friend Bert. Bert was easily the best player in our room and Nick made minced meat out of him. He was running balls and wanted to continue his run but the audience wanted to see trick shots. Lol...

I bought two cues from Abe in 1982. Played great great. An old girlfriend took one and the other one disappeared during a move in the 90's. I wish I had them although I graduated to flat faced joints in the early 90's. I met him a few times and it was always a pleasure hearing his stories.

Do you have a picture of the joint work? I have two cues from Mike with different joints. You can text me a picture at 410-977-8826. Jim

Speaking of tips, are there any places that will put on a tip to a carbon fiber shaft in Towson, MD? Thanks

Went yesterday and it was more crowded than I remember. Had a nice chat with Nick Varner. Such a nice guy. Met him first in 1981. It was good seeing Earl play. Talking to people and enjoying himself. And Jayson Shaw looks like he lost some weight.

I loved Missoula. The Depot was a great restaurant. Stayed at a decent hotel and then went and played Stock Farm.

I saw Earl travels with a butterfly leather case that looks jammed with cues. Shocked nothing has broken yet as he does quite a bit of flying.

All I know is John made me two cases that both exceeded my expectations. If I need another case, I will call John.

I have two Sigel cues. One he designed for me and made and the other I bought in an auction. I love them both and will probably never sell either. Mike turned off a lot of people, but I like the guy. He always treated me nice. And I love the way his cues play.
