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.

Leather is not required. Run a wet thumb across the ferrule and tip and turn it hard around a paper towel. That's all you need to do.

In the Mid-Atlantic, more pool rooms have closed than opened since the 1990s. Lots of reasons for it. But there were lots of local tournaments in the 90s and early 2000s. Not so much anymore.

Store cues upright. There is no side pressure on either shaft or butt. Both stay straight. Unless it was a flawed cue in the first place.

Yeah, I don't try to post pictures through a phone. I think I tried a couple times before, and you run into sizing issues and that sort of thing. On a PC, no problem whatsoever.
