Hi, newbie from CO here. For right now I am interested in getting help identifying this cue. Can't find any manufacturer markings. Is there a better forum for getting help identifying cues?

Here in the Main Forum is the best place. There are several experts here.

However, don't post this in the "New Here" thread. Start a new thread in this Main Forum asking for help in identifying a cue.

New here from the OKC area. Played a lot from about 1985 to 2007 or so and then quit because I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and do not have full range of motion in my neck any longer. I can't get down on the cue ball any longer and also can't get my head in a straight line with the cue on most shots now. I was never a great player but I could break and run out now and again. Started playing at the Pool Room in OKC, then Chester's, Road Dogs, and some others I don't recall the names of. Played a lot at Clicks in El Paso back in 1991 while in the Army.

It does not feel as if I will ever break and run out again now. I miss the easiest shots routinely but I have the bug again regardless. My wife has never really played. We bought a couple of cues and at least I am in a Pool Hall again. Even though I can't do it, I have enjoyed watching good players play while we are there.

Absolutely, the main objective is to have fun and keep going. Not everyone can or will be great players, but just getting out there and playing is what matters. Never give up and never say never.
