    Show your titlist conversions here!

    just in - Rick Howard 26-1/2 Just got this converted 26-1/2 back from Rick Howard :) It was a one piece cue, and he was able to make a shaft from the original. All the white is ivory. Does anyone know what kind of wood this is? [ Here is a before picture, it is the 19oz one.

    Infer what you will, I suppose that I haven't worded my messages very well. Oh well, thanks for the input regarding shafts.

    Lets see those: Rick Howard Cues!!!

    I believe I have the cue you are referring to and agree, it is fantastic player. Rick is about done with a titlist conversion for me, couple of weeks out. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

    what size shaft?

    thanks for the input, it was my impression that 13mm was the best if you were trying to sell and that has been reinforced. Although it might sound like I am "building to sell", I actually am having this cue built to be my player. If it meets/exceeds my needs in this regard then I *may* sell...

    what size shaft?

    I am having a conversion put together by R.Howard, it is a Brunswick from the 30s with classic Titlist veneers. He is close to being done, and I am wondering what size shafts I should spec. I shoot with one of his cues that has the shafts turned to 12.75mm and this is my first thought...

    mechanic needed in Roanoke, VA

    Local restaurant hosts in-house leagues on 8/9 foot AE Schmidt tables. Over the years they have had a half dozen local folks try to level/recover them but the job is never done well. The last guy was a pool player, and he claimed that the slates and rails "float" and aren't attached to the...

    Thanks, yes, I would like to buy the cue. When I try to go on to Paypal and send you money it reports the following: "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." Do you know what the situation is regarding this? Is there a number that I can call you on?

    not looking good. I PM'd him within minutes of the original post, and have had no reply. Guess that I am not worthy.

    Why Pool is devastated by the new Smoking Laws.

    I think that you hit the nail on the head. Smokers are still going out to be social, and are still playing pool. Instead of blaming the smoking ban (which has nothing to do with pools decline), it is the business model of trying to run a square-footage intensive business that targets the...

    Why Pool is devastated by the new Smoking Laws.

    You may have been expecting info, but the current edited version of your original post doesn't ask for input. Reading it again it (still) appears simply a rant about a highly emotional topic that (shockingly) took on a life of its own. Were you hoping for page after page of commiseration from...

    Why Pool is devastated by the new Smoking Laws.

    Small bar owners here in my part of Virginia are mostly ignoring the smoking ban. The ban does allow for a smoking room if it has it's own seperate ventilation, and if it is physically seperated from the non-smoking area by a door. Effectively this loophole has allowed people to ignore the...
