    What is the experience like purchasing a case from John Barton/JB cases?

    This question is to those who recently made first time purchases of a JB case and who didn't already have an existing relationship with John. I am trying to purchase a custom made case, and I have reached out to him via email on multiple occasions over the last several weeks with no reply...

    i got my brains beat out Saturday

    Ill give you some tough love. Stop being a pansy and sack up. :-) If you never lost a game, there would n't be a pool game for 1000 miles. Like the others mentioned, don't let it get to you that much, actually dont let it get to you at all, and more importantly, troubleshoot what went wrong...

    Thank you friend. And your right, none of the names mentioned thus far are even close. I guess those in the know are in the know. :-)

    Do you all DO THIS? I'm sure a few of you do, I've seen you

    LOL the people that knowingly smashed their cue on the floor aggressively(bumper side), when someone makes a really nice shot, to distract the opponent, or they just like bouncer the bumper end of the cue on the floor (Maybe its therapeutic). LOL

    Oh and just to be clear, I don't it, but i only do it with the house cue. But I'm trying to break that habit so it doesn't carry over to when i have finer equipment. But i do it, not hard of course, just to guide the balls to the desired location. But again it's a habit I would like to break.

    I was wondering how many of you walk into a poolroom, or your basement, bring out your nice cue, and play a nice afternoon or evening of pool with league mates or friends or just practice for the day, and as your racking up balls, or trying to gather balls to be racked, you use the shaft of your...

    I really don't want to say as i don't think it is for me to disclose. The gentleman will definitely make it known soon, if he hasn't already. From what i gathered he has not made it known yet. And I don't want to put him in any compromising position by me prematurely disclosing as this is his...

    I'm glad you brought this up, as i was going to just update my OP. All the great cue makers are approaching their time to call it quits and enjoy the rest of their life as they should. But not many, it seems like has apprentices whom they can pass the torch to. Whether that was by design, not...

    I will not disclose his name because it seems like he hasn't made the news public yet. A a few days ago i sent an email to this individual interested in purchasing a brand new custom play cue from him. I specifically wanted to get this process started as being able to possess a cue from him...
