    Anyone name their cue?

    I used to break with a 57" Joss West some of the guys referred to as "da booma" Owned a couple cues that the builders thought to name... never came up with anything myself though.

    Methodical vs. Momentum/free stroke

    Free stroking is my answer. Methodical may win more games...it may leave the player with fewer regrets and missed opportunities... but having tasted a set or two of dead stroke when in free stroke, I find there is no high in life to rival it. I'm not much of a player...never was nor do I...

    SBE Allen really got greedy this year!

    Booths are $1100 if bought early, and $1300 if bought closer to the show date. Each booth comes with 4 expo passes. No pro event passes. To my thinking, Allen has always been fair. All told, my nut as a vendor is about 4K when adding booths, hotel and travel expenses. Some years I make a...

    One Pocket break secrets

    I break from the right side with a tip of inside English. Speed is soft enough for the cue to begin curving before it hits the 2nd ball flat. Ironically, my best breaks are when I aim to split the 1st and 2nd balls. BBB may be right that chipping the head ball is bad, but I always aimed to...

    Richard black

    I have owned 6 or 7 of Richard's cue. At this point, all I have left is the SNAP box cue which is one of his more known creations. I've referred to him as the great eclectic. Black draws inspiration from all around him and may be the most creative cue designer of his time. Hall of Fame...

    New to me 8 point Nitti

    Reminds me a bit of Verl Horn with the generous use of ivory and the bold stitches. Chris makes a badass cue! Enjoy

    My first cues!

    I enjoyed seeing these cues Mash. As I noted at SBE, your finish work is very impressive. Best of luck converting passion into functional art.

    Play Everything - A Pool Philosophy

    Multiple games to hone multiple dimensions of the player's skill set...I couldn't agree more. In the past 7 years, I have worked on my 3-cushion game. Bank patterns are key when breaking an opponent's safety in say 9 or 10 ball. Efren has earned his name "the magician" but it becomes a true...

    Sbe cue pick ups

    Chudy makes a magnificent player. I bought this one as an investment (his 1st box cue) but made it a personal player. It was one of the few available at SBE this year.

    >>>> EDC <<<<Jules Patterson

    These EDC's are everything one might expect given their elite origins. They bring a second level of interest however...the passion of a patriot. It was great to meet Jules and to examine many of these cues in close detail. They are certain to be hot...great veneer work, finish and...

    Who is your favorite and least favorite Pinoy Pro

    Marlin Minalo His play was utterly dominant in the King of the Hill 8 ball tourney held in Orlando. Kind, humble and an absolute monster on the greens. That is a game I miss.

    Pool cue or a fly rod?

    Passion is passion. Some love cues and others trout etc... a few are blessed to be passionate about both. Nothing wrong with feeding one need at the expense of another...not too many of us can have it all. in my case, I spend on firearms or save for the next "fun" car. I'm not a high roller...

    Great design Eric. The exotic materials speak and the ringwork is a fresh spin on Paul's design. Love it.

    RIP - John Robinson

    This is sad news. To the point of celebrating the man's fine work, I'd say it is hard to forget the first impression of a Robinson cue. Joint pins in the shaft as Burt Spain did...but with the innovation of a metal spacer so all shafts could be interchangeable and the hit unique. Robinson...

    Classic Ned Morris

    AGREED Underappreciated...but by those who have not experienced his work. Nobody builds a cue that plays better IMO. If you want a cue that is a worldbeater, consider one of Ned's. If you need someone to tell you that after running a few racks with one...maybe look elsewhere. (or take up...
