We'd love to have you. Shoot me a pm when you get here and I'll email you with the league info. If you happen to be in Madison in the meantime after 3pm on a weekday, the Union South pool tables will be available. Our tables aren't quite as pricey as the Brass Ring's, but our cloth is in much...

I love the Brass Ring! Probably the closest thing Madison has left to a legit pool hall. I'll see if I can get a hold of him. However this league will run in the fall, about 2 weeks after classes start.

UW Madison just built a new multi million dollar union that includes a basement games room. We were lucky to get 5 new Brunswick 9 footers. Pro-cut pockets, tournament cloth. Now I just need some players to appreciate it :)

Pechauer all the way. They are my favorite non-Schon cue to come out of Wisconsin (and that includes Viking/McDermott/Jacoby). I've owned 2 Pechauer sneaky petes, a JP series cue, and 2 signature series cues. All great hits. One of my sneaky petes was 15 years old, and hit like new after an $80...

bump looking for some badgers

I'm attempting to start up a campus pool league at UW Madison for this coming fall semester. We've had trouble holding consistent attendance in the past, so I'm trying to get a head start on recruiting to see if this league is a feasible project or not. Obviously there is a no...

Decided on the Shurtz. Thanks for all the offers, the community here is awesome.

I haven't shot with a Schurtz before. Mostly Jackson/Schon/Jacoby/Joss around these parts. Wisconsin is so full of cuemakers that there isn't a large sampling of good custom work from around the US. How do they play?

Quick thanks to the az community, I've received some good offers. And one last shameless bump.

Nice deal on a good twig. I'll sit on my thread for a day to see if anything local pops up, but I could see myself swallowing my pride for that well priced Kansas product. Consider yourself in the lead :)

I believe manav wins the thread. I've shot with Players a fair amount. You wont be disappointed.

Best offer under $150 with shipping sells a cue. I feel like I can get more bang for my buck if I find something here used. I've previously owned a few thousand dollars worth of cues I had to sell for tuition ($1100 for a 3 credit summer course is bullcrap). I learned quickly how much I miss...

I'm at the point in my pool game where I'm willing to spend some money on a decent production pool cue (under 700) as my main shooting cue. Till this point I've been shooting with a low end Pechauer (JP Series) with the stock 13mm shaft, LePro tip. I'd prefer the cue to be made in Wisconsin...

I'll go as high as $225
