Is this still available?

Wow. Given how irate you were over the Bill Stroud / Design Your Dream Cue ordeal, I’m stunned that you own a Joss West.

Assuming this was MarsMan's photo/collection, this was only part of his stash. Wonder if he's still in possession of these.

I’d have to disagree. Prewitt cues are far nicer in design, largely original, and command a stronger price/demand on the second hand market.

I live in NY so I don't expect rooms to open by the end of May. If they do, that's ludicrous. I'll avoid them for a long time to come.

If you're looking to find love, a poolhall is NOT the right place. - B <------------- met his wife of 10 yrs in a poolhall. :rolleyes:

Other times, they may sign it inside a joint pilot OR under a bumper.

I like that PFD. But I have an actual question. Are you saying Tim only made 6 - 8 wrapless cues ever? I would think that number seems kind of low. Am I wrong?

EDITED: Cause of death is, in truth, none of our concern. What matters is we lost someone who was a good, honest, fun, funny, genuine person. May she rest in peace and may those who were closest to her find some peace of their own.

With all due respect, you keep coming back to the notion that league operators should be properly ranking (HONEST) people beforehand. First, how do you propose they do this? Do you expect league operators to hire 2-3 dozen more folks PER REGION who's sole purpose would be to go around, watch...

The system is flawed because it's designed to rate players based on their week-in, week-out competition in a small region. The player performance during any given session helps determine their rating. But remember... they are playing folks in and around a select, small region. Go to any APA...

Congrats! That's a pretty stellar lineup. I'm stunned that anyone would have ever SOLD La Finestra but I suppose it's lucky for you that they did! :-) Thanks for sharing!

I think it's really, really... REALLY time to move on. No amount of thread-bumping or attempting to rally troops in your favor is ever going to tarnish Bill's well-deserved reputation as one of the all-time great cuemakers. All it does is make you look like a man who, years later, STILL...
