Hello, I am looking to see if anyone specifically has an Arnot Q Custom Cue T3 shaft for sale in new or mint condition with a Radial Pin. I haven't had luck in contacting him via his website or phone number and I heard a rumor he wasn't making cues anymore (or on hiatus depending on who I asked...

Hello everyone. The 2011 Tad Cup is less than a month away. Here's the rundown: Players ranked "B" and under from an established rating system will be eligible to play. This is a change from last year where low level A players were allowed in. Please contact me directly through e-mail for...

Result: Nolan Simiano defeated Arthur Garcia 7-6 in the finals. He remained undefeated through the duration of the tournament (true double elimination). As for not letting A-players play, this was decided upon last year since the format of the TadCup in both Japan and Taiwan only allow amateurs...

If anybody has got questions regarding this, call or e-mail me directly. I can already foresee the possible headaches, but when I was approached to do this tournament, it was my understanding that this is basically an experimental thing that is going to happen EVERY YEAR and the only hard part...

Hard Times Billiards is hosting the first annual Tad Cup USA on the weekend of September 4th and 5th. Tad previously held the tournament every year in Japan (and it still goes on there) for the past decade or so, but had decided to hold one in the USA specifically geared towards amateurs. It is...

Roberto Gomez ended up winning, with Mark Haddad as second and Oscar Dominguez as third. As you may have heard, this tournament almost did not happen. The organizers failed to inform me, the house, and most importantly the players that the sponsored money did not come through at the last minute...

Tomorrow is the Pacmania Tournament! Hope to see a good turnout!
