Correct. The times when I saw Lassiter and Taylor were twice, just straight pool. I believe 1966 or 1967, televised on ABC's Wide World of Sports, maybe U.S. Open in Las Vegas. They played straight pool. Lassiter won. Lassiter won in the high school straight pool exhibition as well. But...

Eddie always dressed like a gentleman. Of course others in that era did as well.

You're welcome. It was 1967, and Luther Lassiter and Eddie Taylor were playing an exhibition match, straight pool at Oxon Hill High School, Oxon Hill, Maryland. Lassiter totally dominated, and let Tayor to the table a couple times, but Taylor was no match for Lassiter. The match was arranged...

For the Eddie Taylor fans, this one's for you. Even though I saw Luther Lassiter destroy him in an exhibition, Eddie was something else as well.

More evaluation offered. More bunches of money, depending on the cue delivered. By the way, we work for pictures.

That's a fair point. I remember a period of time when the finish of a Stroud cue was not up to par. But that aside, they both made cues, and were both players. I guess it's debatable.

There's no combination of a maker and player than Sigel. Even though there are huge opinions on the subject.

I know this discussion is going on endlessly, but the best player to make cues is Mike Sigel. He worked with Joss Cues, won well over 100 tournaments, all games, and did build cues. Nobody else in the discussion really comes close.

If all the hints don't help, save a picture to your computer, keep on copying and pasting, and if too big, resize it down and down in percentage until it will work.

Nice addition to this thread. Very nice Doc Frye cues are not many. Yours is nice.

It's a very nice cue, but unless there's some historical significance of this cue, this is the wrong thread for it. If you want to sell a cue here, the Wanted and For Sale section is the one. All the best, WW

Use Amazon to get things like socks and shampoo. Used trusted sellers to get billiard products, i.e., Seyberts, or Joerackem on Ebay. You'll be glad you did.

Chicago RJ used to sell tip protectors, so they do exist, for the obsessive.

Yep, for some reason it didn't really take off as a desirable pin. For a couple years, Tim Scruggs and Mike Cochran considered it a great pin, but as I recall, the feedback from players wasn't so good. I still like the couple I have.

Good info Michael. I thought Acme pins were generally 3/8 X 10, and this one pictured didn't seem to have the flat exteriors on the threads to me. However, I guess they came in 14 thread as well.
