Got hurt last year, and in spite of my best efforts, I can't play pool anymore without real pain. So, I decided to let go of a few of my cues now, hopefully to players who will appreciate them, and of course, get more out of them than me. This is a J. Pechauer Custom cue, 19.5 oz. with a...

I live in Glendale AZ and play mostly in north Phoenix metro area. Around here it ranges from $6/hr to $14/hr. However, the couple places I frequent both have all day specials ($12 or $15) and free GCs until 6 or 7 pm. As I tend to work nights this works out pretty well for me. Actually now...

The first three times I got to the final table I played for it and two of those times I was offered the split. I played for the same reasons you mentioned. I wanted to know if I could win it ( I won one lost one). Twenty years later, most of the time, if the split is offered I take it...

It's kind of funny to see this topic as I was just in one of the worst slumps I've ever had for the past four months or so. By the way, all the suggestions here are good ones, ones I've used with some verying degrees of success. Probably my time-honored solution to 'the slump' was to just stop...

4, 11, 31 please

11, 12, 13, and 30 please.

Okay, I guess I again wrote before thinking. Look, I had an incredible experience which luckily lasted for more than a few minutes. Personally, I probably wouldn't believe it either. I look at them and they look nuts. Whatever. I don't really care if anyone believes them or not. In fact, I...

I just spent nine days "in the zone," my longest stay in over 10 years. Most likely ever. The reason I bring this topic up is that last night when I discovered I was again out of the zone, I tried to remember the last time I was in it for that length of time (I can't recall. If ever, it was a...

Just wanted to say thanks again to Mr. Jim Baxter for the beautiful JPs he made for me. Also, I want to let people know just how much his efforts were appreciated in producing these for me. I needed a set for my new J. Pechauer, but it came with their proprietary quick release joint. Jim...

Does he like the cue he's shooting now? Before blowing $500 he should be sure he's going to like shooting with it, otherwise it's just a pretty piece of wood, IMO. Might ask him basic things such as does he like a stiff/softer hit, more/less feedback, etc. If he's not sure maybe he could...

8-ball break I'm going to qualify my remarks by saying that I am just an above average player (BCA 7), not a pro or even considering the idea of going pro. But I have played a lot of barbox 8-ball (approximately 40,000 games lifetime with over 90 8-ball breaks, most racks run in a tournament...

tips Hey; I just wanted to let you know I received the tips you sent three days ago. Thanks again. Been a little busy, so sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Rich

Wrapless Peach I recently acquired a wrapless Pechauer which I am still working out to review next month probably. It is a custom, and I believe is a customized version of the 2007 PS12. It came with a Universal Smart Shaft, so as a result plays/hits a bit differently than the standard shaft...

Hehe, which one? :rolleyes: Actually hadn't planned on selling anything right now, but according to a certain someone, I am very close to a limit, so you never know.
