You can't leave out the possibilities of someone not taking care of the cue or anything what may have happened to the cue after it left Russ' shop. I've never seen nor heard of anyone having a Espiritu with such a problem. I know of several people here that shoot with Espiritu that were made...

...so complicated. And Marissa, the long pocket on an Instroke will hold plenty of "emergency" condoms as well as tampons.

Haha...you ain't lying. All he ever gets is bad luck or bad rolls...or so he says. :)

Personally, I wouldn't get something inked on me that isn't original. The problem here is there is no telling how many people have used that design. An good idea would be to have the artist design something around and perhaps change it up or something. Like substitute barbwire for the rose...

Here's a picture of my thuya burl and ebony BCM that should be ready in the coming weeks. Some of you may remember the pictures from the last post with the forearm, handle, and butt unassembled. All I can say, is this cue is definately going to be a keeper. The wood combinations are...

I don't see how it's bullshit that a cuemaker doesn't use ivory ferrules. There's no doubt ivory joints and ferrules will increase the value of a cue. Not everyone wants ivory ferrules and plenty of cuemakers feel ivory takes away from the hit of the cue. Some players don't like ivory...

Roach, you act like you know everything don't you? JAM is well respected inside and outside the pool scene. And she has every right to be. You have 29 posts and just about every one of them resort to nothing but starting a flame. And to top it off, you decided to pick DM and JAM, you are...

Well, it's hard to understand the exact situation when you do not have any idea what might have taken place via email and pms. From my perspective, Don placed an order to have a $6,600 cue built by Blud. During that time, Blud's wife became ill. This caused a major setback not only by...

Murray Tucker and Bryan Mordt are definately making a name for themselves. Their work is only getting better and better. Espiritu has been around for awhile.

You a lightyear ahead of us!

I wouldn't be upset at all. It's been a few months since I placed my order for my new custom cue. Every few weeks I have emailed him to check up and see how the cue is coming along. And he has always responded to me in a timely manner. It's alright to check up with them and see how things...

Sorry to hear about your loss JAM. Very touching poem.

If this ever takes place, please let me know, I'll be glad to travel a few miles to sweat it.

Some of you may remember a thread I posted about my new custom cue from Bryan. Well, I decided to go ahead and show some pics of the cue in progress. The wood combinations I went with are absolutely stunning. Very nice wood combinations and I am glad I went ahead and added everything in the...

I used to have a Porper until I sold it since I was getting a completely new setup. The only thing I dislike about them is that you can only insert the butt ends joint down. I prefer to insert the joints up, but that's just me. :P
