How to pay Ok i was thinking about this the other night, I know I won't make it their year but hopefully by next year I will be in the market to get a new cue and this to me sounds like the logical way to do it. Go somewhere that there will new a wide variety of cues to chose from. My...

Kid said he would give me the melon if I wanted to play for a little cash? What do you think? Is that enough weight?

No I thanked the people who gave me their advice without being arrogant asses. It just happens that the majority of them happened to say what I was afraid of. I had no idea whether it was wrong or not. I felt that it was so i came on here and asked. Several people suggested that it was wrong and...

Ok this is probably a dumb question but I will ask it anyway. So any body wanna trade pool equipment (cues or the like) for wakeboard equipment? Just a feeler:grin-square:

I doubt after not going to him for almost 5 yrs ( since me last retip, 4.5 of that not playing at all) that he remembered me and decided to "put it to me". I discussed with him that I had someone else put a new tip on because I had stopped by a couple of times and he was never in. And didn't...

So what is your sage advice that you so eroneously suppose that I won't follow? It seems you are in the minority on thinking this cue repair was adequate. How is playing with the cue going to expand the base of the tip? Mushrooming is the compression of the leather and as far as i know the base...

sorry i didn't explain that right. The guy that picks up the cues at my local hall is a different guy. A younger up and coming cue builder. I had the last tip put on by him but he didn't have Trinagle tips which I prefer and talked me into a layered tip. I used to for a couple of weeks and just...

So I went back to get him to replace it, he told me that it was fine he cut it in so that once I played with it would compress and line up. That sounded completely illogical, that is he is counting on a tip mushrooming to the point of expanding symmetrically a mm or so all the way around. I told...

I didn't put his name on the post because i did want to give him the chance to make it right. But I didn't want to go back in and say hey this isn't right and he tell me that it's no big deal and you should never have a problem with it. I just wanted an opinion I was in no way trying to bash him...

Ok I just got my tip replaced by a cue maker that has replaced several of my tips in the past with no problems always has done good work in the past. So I didn't even inspect the tip before I left, thought there was no reason to. But when I took it out to start playing with it I noticed that the...

Reminds me of a "Kalediscope", all the colors and the white points reminds me of the twisting and turning of the Kalediscope to produce all the colors in the handle.

Thanks i have Ricks number. I use want to see what else is out there, before going to Rick.

Ok so I was back home in NW Florida this weekend and a friend had just picked up a Rick Howard from 98 that he wouldn't tell me how he came across it, nor would he sell it to me. Hitting with that cue really got me missing the Mace I had back in 96-97 that i never should have sold. So this...

Anybody else, one last time before i head back to searching ebay? Lesson learned when you find a good deal jump on it.

Thanks I will check out the Sterling wave cases.
