Hello. I have a friend looking for a decent 9ft GC. please pm/send lots of pics and any info you have. Thanks

It is the GB 8 - here is a link to good pics of the cue. I bought the cue used but it looked new. Sadly I still have not had time to play with it except maybe 10 shots. I have inspected it very well and it seems to be well made with good materials. Its very straight. The shaft is perfect (13mm?)...

Thanks to all who sent some info. GREAT STUFF ! For the record i did buy a like new (used) Balabushka. I have not tested it much (maybe 10 shots) so i have no real info/feedback except i don't see any problems. I am/will be working on adjusting the weight (assuming i think it needs it after an...

ok and thanks for that info.

sorry i posted this question. I should have searched this topic first.

What is the best, Ivory like, ferrel material ? Something strong/durable, "white-ish" and doesn't stain from the chalk ! I am not well versed on this topic. I guess there are 2 areas that interest me. Natural ( maybe buckhorn or some other natural, non ivory material ) OR a man-made material. I...

ok. thanks for the info.

I am not certain of the definition of a "piloted (shaft) joint" Doesn't that mean the shaft has the mini bulge protruding from the end like/similar to the one in the pic i provided? What do they call the flat faced shaft joint with only the "metal threaded insert"? ie: no bulge at the end

Hello pongohops. I am looking for a carbon shaft but i don't have a OB cue. I do have the 5/16-14 joint screw. There are many details about modern equipment i am NOT familiar with so please, please excuse my personal issues. It seems to me that ANYONE looking for any shaft would want the...

Hello. IF .. i had the room and cash, i would definitely consider this table. When you said "has been diamondized" ... what exactly does that mean? How old is this table and what size were the original/original pockets?

thanks for that info. Well, your member pic shows a hand bridge i have never seen. Fantastic ! I'll have to try that one "on the road" Anyway, The Players cue looks nice. I went to that link but sadly they left out info on the cue. They never showed pics of the joint(s) materials or...

Thanks for that thread. lots of good info and pics. Have you ever directly spoken to and/or met any of Doc family? Have their phone # or an email address?

Yeah. Your Avatar Frye is very nice. What does the joint look like? Not sure i have seen that design before. Hopefully someday a large collection of Doc Frye pics will be collected for everyone to enjoy. And maybe a list of present, past and original owners. Later, out !

I will get some pics to you but it might be a few weeks before i can do it. I'll be in touch.

Thanks for that info. I have been looking(not touching) for a true sneaky for several weeks and i would say the Schmelke seems to be the best version for about $149. Regardless what i buy, i will give some feedback.
