Absolute monster box cue, Will Was that Billy Incardona's cue, years ago?

I have owned a set of them and regret selling them because they are a top quality ball set and whether anyone likes or agrees with me, they are a far better ball set than Super Aramith Pro Cups and Brunswick Centennials and they clean up better than Cyclop balls do. Cosmos Billiard is well...

Always a treat to see these beauties Will and of course, being a fan of Box cues myself, I can definitely appreciate these more. There is another box cue that I believe Bill Stroud made in in the 70's or 80's that is same style as the Ed Kelly Gina, but had a stainless steel joint collar, solid...

Hey Guys, Having now gained a small collection of cues by JD, most people now contact him via his JD Custom Cues Facebook page and the demand for his cues has gone up quite alot in recent years also, there are other private cue collectors that are also having JD make them cues fairly regularly...

This is actually quite accurate and still true since the cloth used for Snooker, English 8Ball, English Billiards and Chinese 8Ball is napped cloth which is technically called 'Baize' and of course napped cloth has been the traditional cloth for centuries. It wasn't until Simonis developed the...

Hey Guys Everyone has their preferences in what they like in a cue, the same as a cuemaker has their own preferences as to which designs and materials they like to build a cue with. I agree mostly with what John Barton has stated, but there is also a point that I would like to add and that is...

Damnit Si... if I'd known you that cue stick years ago, I'd have been loking to buy that beauty from you instead of the Carolina Custom, Kenny Murrell or some of the other cues I've bought from you over the years :cool:

Thank you very much, I am very lucky though to have a good sponsor that I enjoy working with and hopefully, I will continue to be blessed to get some more cues from time to time :)

My Modest Collection Hey Will Thank you very much for sharing these pics of your amazing collection sir, it would be mighty cool to see what other box cues you have since I am always looking for inspiration for my next cue :cool: As I had briefly communicated with you previously on Facebook a...

Time for some Box Cue Revival Here's a new cue stick I'm waiting to be shipped to me along with my new Break/Jump cue. I have another 'Box' cue that I will take the pics of and add a little later :thumbup: :cool:

Hey John, how's it rockin? The information on who makes the Cyclop balls can be found by googling the Cyclop Patent and trademark information. From what I had read on various sources is that the guy who came up with the formula for Brunswick Centennials made by Hyatt, sold the formula recipie...

Is it possible to do this and if so, which is the best and safest method without damaging the cloth? Thank you.

I completely disagree with that view about the climate difference and shipping from the Philippines to the US because I live in the UK and the climate here is a damn sight cooler than what the climate is in the Philippines. Anyone who has a cue made by anyone or any company and sotres it in a...

from my own personal experience of having lived in the Philippines and owned cues made by 3 different cuemakers, I can gladly say I have had no problems of warping, poor finishing of shafts/ferrules, etc, they have all been solid, consident and of great quality workmanship, (2 of which I still...

Too many people both inside and outside the billiard industry are constantly trying to make pool seem attractive to TV Networks, when realisticly TV Networks couldn't give a damn about what game is played or format is used, so long as there is plenty of money being paid to the TV Network to...
