    Handmade Patek Philippe Billiards Watches

    Sorry but I can't help you I don't have a zelle. But it's a shame it has a nice embroidered picture of Joe Camel leaning over the table shooting an 8 ball

    Who is the best player of the last 40 years not to win a major event?

    I would think Vernon Elliot would be a good prospect.

    Truman Hogue has passed

    I liked Truman, he was the first real bank player I ever saw. It was at the Maverick Club in Richmond KY in about 84

    How often do you replace cue tips?

    I know this doesn't help but I used to do practically all the tips and ferrules and such for this and have probably close to ma thousand tips in stock of a bunch of different brands so I just change one when I feel like it.

    How straight is your shaft?

    A cuemaker can see and feel any curvature while it spinning in the lathe. As for me personally as long as it doesn't flop I'm not worried about it. As has been said wood moves, I've always said we take a piece of natural wood tun it down in a parabolic taper and then beat the hell out of pool...

    Black Ferrules

    The black ferrules you used to see on all the house cues and such were made of a material called fibre, it was a blend of cellulose and cotton fibers. This is the same material that McDermott used for years and years in a white version. It's a little soft but extremely tough. I don't remember...

    cue tip

    I'm really not sure who made them, they came in a plain box with a red label that just said Champion and made in France beware of imitations

    cue tip

    I can't say what Gus used but in that same time period Bill Stroud used Old Champions with the rust colored backing not the brighter red one.
