    He said about 2-3 weeks. I would suppose 3-4 realistically, compensating for unforeseen delays, etc.

    Need some Break Cue advice....the value kind, not the $$$$$ kind.

    I use a J&J sneaky jump/break --- swapped out tip for a compressed triangle med/hard tip with a shortened ferrule --- pretty happy with it and very cheap! i hear the Tiger Icebreaker is pretty good the only thing i would change from my current jump/break is a phenolic ferrule with perhaps i...

    Do you play them

    I think this is a very valid post, as most of us who are on this site double as cue collectors (at least those that I know on this site). With that being said, it is hard to bring a cue that costs a couple thousand or more to a hall where it could get dinged or damaged. I have a decently high...

    Best food you've ever had at a pool hall?

    Diamond's Billiards in Brea CA --- not the best food I have ever had --- but pretty damn good for a pool hall! House speciality fried rice (with bits of chicken, shrimp, and beef) and teriyaki chicken aren't bad at all!

    Pool Hall Photos From All Over.

    First of all, this has been the best thread I have seen so far on this site! Secondly, I am really kicking myself in the ass! I was actually playing pool on a bar table on the island of Bora Bora in Tahiti ---- just didn't think to play pics (was a lil drunk, lol). Either way, this has been a...

    Jerry franklin era southwest butt

    I second the last inquiry --- what is the weight of the butt? Aside from the slight roll in the nose of the butt, are there any dings or other minor issues? Finally, I am a bit new to cues, and wonder if the slight roll in the nose of the butt can be somehow repaired? Is this even possible...

    Play In A Tournament To Win My Pool Hall

    I too sense a fishy smell! In the same regards, it is quite interesting to hear everyone's reactions and see how this plays out. Consider me a list subscriber atm. :thumbup:

    Lasik surgery

    I wear glasses and find it hard as well to look at shots while bent down. SUGGESTION --- another buddy wears glasses ,but picked up a raquetball google strap that is velcro adjustable. The strap hooks onto his glasses and keeps the glasses snug against his face, so he can see. I can see the...
