    Your 1st Cue, 30 Years Later

    My first cue was a Walmart cue I bought for $10. I used it until I bought a mali sneaky pete which lasted until I was breaking hard enough to snap the shaft. It was a real cheap one.

    APA, FARGO and the death of 8 ball.....

    Quite a few of those that engage in sandbagging don't go to Regionals and Vegas where they would get caught. If caught they might have to forfeit or at the very least have their handicap go up possibly to a 7 in APA and 8 or above in the other leagues. Their handicap would then be locked so...

    What would you do?

    I would also ask for the receipt and verify the cost with the manufacturer, or at the very least the room owner. then I would pay 1/2 and leave it at that. Depending on who it was I might get the room owner to be the middle man and make sure everything is on the up and up.

    What does pumping the cue over and over up in the air before their shot do for the pros?
